Would love to compare college grades from the great Ivy League schools that Gore and Bush attended.You can bet your bottom dollar that the Religious Right will be somewat muzzled by the GOP powers-to-be....the Debates will doom GWB as Gore is a tough partisan fighter.......what role will the Green Party of Naders play?

Some good thoughts and thanks for expressing your opinion. I believe that in running a business or running a country you can't be and know everything. The greatest leaders are the people who hire or appoint people with strengths the leader does not possess. I believe the secret is surrounding yourself with the right and qualified people in every position. Take a look at the people Gore and Clinton selected and evaluate them. Would you hire them if you had it all on the line or do you think you could pick better. Take a look at the people Bush has already touched that will probably be a part of his management team, Colon Powell, John McCain, Condoleeze Rice, Elizabeth Dole, Dick Cheney. So far, in my humble opinion, he has only picked superstars. And, he has more choices coming and I believe they will be "heavyweights." A 180 degree contrast from the Clinton unknowns. Remember, the one guy who was in charge of security, the one who ordered the 900 plus FBI files on prominent Republicans, was hired and no one would, and never did, admit hiring him. To my knowledge, which seems nearly impossible, it was never disclosed who hired him. The word was he was ordered to be hired by Hillary. And, he never was even checked out for a security clearance. People who would make these kind of bad decisions in management are not the people you want at the helm of your country or company. Best wishes and good luck in your future. Frank
