Vice President Al Gore, in the presidential debate Tuesday, once again "presented himself as the Man of Many Faces," USA Today political columnist Walter Shapiro writes. "In place of Exaggerator Al from the Boston debate and Agreeable Al who briefly surfaced last week, the vice president became Chain-Saw Al, although he softened his over-caffeinated tone as the evening wore on. In the biggest debate of his political career, Gore resorted to relentless counter-punching, constant refrains of 'I'll fight for you' rhetoric and a self-defeating compulsion to rattle off his resume (he brought up his Vietnam service twice) at every opportunity," Mr. Shapiro said. "Gore deserves plaudits for his range as an actor during the debates. But as a would-be president, his technically adroit, though not always likable, performance in St. Louis was less satisfying. Americans prize competence and emotional reassurance in a president, but they also value steadfast predictability. The question for Gore remains what it has been for months: Can we trust a candidate this changeable to do what he vows he'll do in the White House?" washtimes.com
