The reason Gore's trustworthiness is important on people's minds is because 8 years, people are tired of being lied to. (from a post of Joe's)

Ted-

OT -Margaret Carlson had an interesting spin on this this morning on Imus. Her premise is that Gore is not so much lying, (though she admitted he was) as he was fulfilling a need to always look perfect. Somehow, he picked up the idea that faults in a politician are not acceptable. Which, of course, leads to the question of what would this trait do to Gore's decision-making process as President?
That to me is a much more interesting question than whether or not Gore has lied about relatively inconsequential details in his life. The lies acquire some importance beyond just being fibs. It is a question that most Democrats, myself included have not really considered.
