Yes, this,on the surface,appears a subtle difference in syntax, but says far more and more closely approaches the truth. <<But I have to admit the Lieberman comment is essentially correct, IMO. As honorabe and nice a guy he is, he is nothing more than a means for supporting Hillaries run for the Senate.>> IMHO you've missed the point he is "assigned" to help Gore also. Too bad, he's a good man, I thought higher of him than running with one so dirty. Had you heard he Joe is still running for his Seat in the Senate? <<Amazing that so few potential willing candidates were available to run on a Gore ticket, isn't it?>> It's been broadly reported Rubin told Gore "NO"! Then there are the reports the Democratic Party is so deeply controlled by the "pro-choice" camp that anyone with any vote which could be counted as even the slightest bit anti-abortion was out before they were even considered! While I agree, in the most basic sense, with a woman's right to choice IMHO this tells volumes about the Democratic Party of today. Bush just picked whom he wanted(with some possible input from Sr.). Gore has parameters and tests placed on any possible pick, by someone else. This is why, despite the past mouthed concern from Lieberman about gold price manipulation and stopping it, it is doubtful anything different would happen under Gore's administration - No truth would come out! <<Maybe Gore is looking to try again in 4 years.>> I though the script said that was the year for Hillary(with Chelsea taking her mom's seat), but you might be right, it might take more than 4 years for their side to make the masses ready for these. It took ages ages for the Liberals to bring the masses around to today's ideas against gold.
