Clinton Says Gore Scored Points in Debate with Bush Tuesday October 3 11:43 PM ET CORAL GABLES, Fla. (Reuters) - President Clinton gave his deputy Al Gore high marks for his debate on Tuesday with Republican George W. Bush, saying the Democratic vice president scored points on the budget, Social Security and abortion. Clinton had to hunt for a television to watch the contest because cable service at his luxury hotel failed, eventually setting off in a driving rain storm to follow the broadcast at a friend's home and listening to it on the radio en route. ``He said that the vice president did very well, stuck to the issues, did not engage in a lot of personal attack,'' White House spokesman Jake Siewert said after the first of the three presidential debates to be held before the Nov. 7 election. Siewert told reporters Clinton believed Gore ``scored a lot of points'' on the budget and Social Security and had made a good point about his support for a woman's right to choose whether to have an abortion. After finding his television in the luxurious Biltmore Hotel did not work, Clinton wandered down to the hotel bar where he told reporters before the debate that if Bush did well he might get a temporary bounce in the polls but that this would likely evaporate in a week or so. Clinton also said that the question he would most like to ask Bush would be to explain how his $1.3 trillion tax cut plan would avoid consuming the projected budget surpluses. He said Gore's tax and spending proposals could also be questioned, but said they were weighted toward spending that could be reduced if the surpluses fail to materialize.
