>>Gore is a good centrist<<
You didn't ask, and this is wrong venue, and I apologize to the others, but the above is just the impression you're supposed to have. Gore has been in grooming for a long time for the office he aspires to. To me, the grooming is just too refined; he appears to have no soul. He stands around trying to look dignified and clever, but ends up looking like a fair-haired boy trying to get more gold stars. I don't consider Clinton a strong leader and I don't consider Gore a strong leader, for some of the same reasons - wishy washy character. I get the impression of his image being operated much like machinery - sort of like that which operated the Wizard of Oz - but with a less scary down-home programming. Remember Tipper and the "lyrics" campaign? Remember the Captain Planet book? These are carefully placed career markers designed to achieve effect and are not heartfelt issues for him. The guy wouldn't know how to act in a crisis, where there is just no time to run a poll. Do I think he will win? Yes, but he's just too phoney for me - overly groomed. I will dislike every minute of his publicly broadcast image and sound, but I have wonderful compensatory skills and am unlikely to suffer much, personally. (Mary Madelyn also does this well with James Carvill). |
