Sam,

Great post. I also am getting sick of the reactionary posts on SI attacking Gore for lying and poor ethics. I'm no great fan of Gore, but when did the Republicans become exempt from questionable ethics and lying? Clinton was morally reprehensible, but Reagan and Bush were beyond reproach? Many of Clinton's Republican attackers had extra-marital affairs, but those were okay? (I guess secret governments, subverting the Constitution, and cheating on your spouse are ethical if done by Republicans.)

Sam,
Relax. I'm aligning with what the press and the people of the US have been saying since their debate. They've voted Gore as the one with the least amount of trust that likes to exaggerate (lie?). I suggest you read the recent news and the polls. Gore has put his foot in his mouth more times than anyone in recent history. Does everyone remember that Gore "invented the Internet"? It makes Bills "didn't inhale" look like a joke.

So relax and keep up with the news. The vast majority of the US public says they do not trust Gore. Look at the recent polls and press for further info.

BTW, I take no sides for either one. I actually would have liked to have seen Nader and Buchanan in there too. That 20% of the US voted for Perot's party and got no representation in Congress, is a testament that the US electoral system has got to change. Same for not asking Nader and Buchanan to debate the issues with Gore and Bush.
