The ONLY (non-self-interested) reason I can think of voting for Gore is the judiciary
and to a certain extent the agencies. Gore will appoint better judges, or less bad
ones, and he will not demolish the NLRB, the EPA, and the like. The judges make a real
difference. My (excellent) boss is a Clinton appointee. Clinton put two fairliu
liberal women on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, including one black woman (as well
as a typically Clintonian centrist man). I am not necessarily advocating voting for
Gore, but since you asked whether there was a reason, I gave one.

so is there really any point to voting for Gore?
