The fact remains that emails have been changing hands between the two sides I don't think that is a fact. The e-mails have been going from McKinnon's office to his personal account. Then the information is going unsolicited to the Gore campaign via snail mail. The information does only go in one direction. It wasn't supposed to be exposed unless Bush did poorly in the debates, and late enough that the FBI couldn't track it down until after the election. They got tripped up when the material was sent to the FBI immediately. TP

A former office holder myself (after two terms I got out--couldn't stand the culture--LOL!), and also well aware of Watergate, I fail to see the similarties. I also think we've been 'gated' enough. Do you folks? Anyway, it seems patently clear that if the Gore camp had a mole system within the Bush campaign, that the Bush mock debate tapes would have been utilized as a tool for Gore's debate preparation. Simple logic tells me that getting a hold on such debate tapes would have to be considered the prize of mole-like efforts? Doesn't it make sense if they were using a mole system that the debate tapes would NOT have been turned in to the FBI? Fact is, the Gore campaign didn't use the tapes. Did it? Instead, the Gore camp did the honorable thing by turning the tapes over to the FBI. Are there any Republican critics among you who view what Congressman Thomas Downey did as honorable? Or are you folks still so hung up on anti-Clintonisms that common sense has lost meaning? I've not read the entirety of this thread, however, has anyone yet written anything regarding Bush's national campaign manager, Karl Rove, and Bush's media advisor Mark McKinnon, being involved in a similar mole-like incident during a 1986 Texas gubernatorial election? What were the details of this--anyone know? Thanks!
