Hi CB,

We'll revisit the Smedley Butler episode at a later date.
For now, I found this editorial in today's Washington Post, upon referral from the National Review website. (Thanks for that suggestion, BTW, it was a good one.)

The article is by a Gore voter, who, like me, feels that the right man to be the President, come January, is George Bush. I'll offer it without further comment, except to say that I'm in agreement with Senator Lieberman that it is time to turn down the heat.

Gore Can't Heal the Hurt

By Richard Cohen
Friday, November 24, 2000; Page A43

I voted for Al Gore. I did so because I have known him since he was a congressman from Tennessee. I admire his intellect, his seriousness of purpose, his capacity for hard work and study, his political values, his experience and his knowledge. That being said, I now think that under current circumstances he would not be the right man for the presidency. If I could, I would withdraw my vote. In the terminology of the moment, put me down as a hanging chad.
