RE:"Having tangled in the past with people who have been spouting off Clinton hatred on SI on a near daily basis for over 2 years now, I find the "hatred" thing as ironic as the "partisanship" thing and the "cheap shot" thing."

I can't speak for anyone else but yeah, there is bound to be some political bellowing but you'll likely find that in person, people are a lot more fair and amicable.
It does seem that Gore and Clinton are capable of polarizing people even in excess of most other politicians.
Especially Gore, since he likes to target groups and pit them against each other more than most...
Lawyers do this too, as a matter of course, they then have dinner and drinks later while the observing public is still taking it all too seriously.
Me, I do appreciate hearing all sides, even if I don't agree with them. Take Scumbria, I know pretty much exactly where he comes from on these issues, from experience. But he puts extra emphasis on areas I don't and vice versa. In reality we probably agree on over 70% of the issues at hand.
