History will tell and my prediction for you younger SI members to check me out on is this: Gore will not be looked at kindly by historians

JDN,

I give Gore a good shot at getting the prez in 2004. It all depends on how he takes it from here. IMO, the American people have been patient because they understand we are only talking about a few hundred votes. It's not like he lost by 100K votes in FL and is trying to bend the rules. If he drops it after the hand re-counts, he can exit with dignity.

Bush is inheritting a mess that Clinton created. There's nothing Bush can do to save the stock markets in his presidency. The ball is already rolling downhill at full steam and Bush is going to be the fall guy. This will bode well for Gore in 2004 if the Dems give him the bid. If it ain't Gore, it will be another Dem in 2004, IMO.

Hi JDN,

I think Gore is a lowlife because of this post-election behavior. He even surprised me. I expected a fight, but I think he is getting out of hand and needs to be reigned in.

The next president will have a thankless job, no question about it. IMHO, it will be the will of the American people that drives the process of governance forward.

If, for example, Hussein gets adventurous and starts lobbing missles at Israel while choking off oil, it will be up to all of us (not the congress) to unite behind the president.
That makes the job all that much easier.

Especially when it comes to foreign policy, Americans have to stop all the bickering and divisivness and start thinking about what will be good for ALL of us collectively. Partisanship has to stop at our borders.

Let's not wait until something really does go wrong before we put this lesson of history into practice. The time to start is now.
