>>I can easily understand that line of reasoning. Why? Because both Chambers and Bush have MBA degrees.

That isn't it. Take one issue very important to Silicon Valley - the curbing of frivolous lawsuits. AlGore the Junior can't be against that because his biggest benefactors are the greedy trial lawyers. (AlGore the Junior is a failed lawyer too.)

Same with school reform - AlGore the Junior can't be for reforming schools because the educrats are his second biggest bankrollers. The US already spends 2-4 times what other industrial nations do per pupil so AlGore's calls for more spending cannot be an answer, just a diversion and payoff. That hurts US competiveness and Silicon Valley. Cisco has to spend money to train students the schools aren't because of AlGore's failed policies.

Same with trade. AlGore the Junior did nothing to help pass the China trade bill because his other great bankroller, Big Labor, was opposing it.

A leader would have put national interest above his own fundraising and worked against those special interests - the greedy trial lawyers, the educrats who have ruined public education and Big Labor's trying to derail US trade.

>>Having said all that, I believe there is much more to being President than business acumen. Nader knows that. Gore knows that.

Chambers knows that, which is why he's for Bush. The US people know that which is why 2/3 more say that Bush is a "strong leader" than say that AlGore the Junior is.
