Karen, hi. I'm not sure that I would call becoming a right-wing fundamentalist evangelical Christian a 'positive response' to his wife....

The parties all acted within their legal mandates. That does _not_ mean that the wisest of all options were pursued, which is what I think you are saying, Karen. Of course, the Florida nonsense is a bit of a red herring, regarding the actual election. Gore blew it badly, for several reasons (which I would suggest are: failure to treat Clinton honorably; failure to have confidence in himself; too respectful a treatment of Bush). He lost it, rather than Bush won it. And now...who will the Democrats nominate??? Kerry, as I understand him today, would get my vote. Cheers, Lawry
