Here are a few thoughts about the debate:

I thought Bush did a good job of raising the philosophical differences of the role of Gov't between Al Gore and himself.

However, I thought Bush was mighty stupid insulting the East Coast (and the energy predicament here) in regard to the Clinton/Gore recent decision to release some of the strategic petroleum reserves. Any chance Bush had of carrying a state from Maine to Maryland is now finished. That was not to smart.

It was a good debate though in the sense that it brought out the major differences in the 2 candidates and it helped inform people who needed to be informed.

Nothing earth shattering either way, I think. If you liked Gore going in, you thought Gore won. If you liked Bush going in, you thought Bush won.

I'm more interested in how the undecided votes will turn here, rather than engaging in the same boring liberal vs conservative debate.
