"Libertarian party looks good in a pinch." Your arguments for voting for Bush are good. Bush is much weaker intellectually than Reagan though. Reagan had studied national and international issues all his life. Maybe its Bush's lack of experience and a seeming ambivilence to foreign matters combined with what seems to be limited intelligence that concerns me. Libertarianism is a piece of what I vote for each year but it is just too parochial to be the whole thing. So again for me its the best of two bad choices. Also you can make the argument for Gore that once he reaches the Presidency he will change because his goal will be a presidency that is judged successfully in history. And just as the Bush tax cuts will not be enacted in full if he wins, so to the Gore tax cuts and expenditures will be picked thru based on what we can afford. The democrats have come to love this balanced budget too much to abandon the issue so quickly. PS If the polls are correct this week, it seems that Gore's arrogance and smug demeanor during the debate turned off many voters. There is no other explanation for a Bush surge. We have a real chance for a Bush popular vote victory and a Gore electoral college victory. What a mess that would be.
