Barry,

re: "Uncertainty is being increased and this is definitely not good."

It is the penalty of our imperfect system, which has served us very well in most situations.

re: "No matter who wins, we will always be a house divided on this issue. How long did it take to get over that last house divided thing? I doubt that this will be over in my lifetime. Politics in America has changed forever because of this."

The question is, long term, will it change for the better or worse. I think we have to see it play out to find that answer.

I guess you could say that we are currently paying the price for future clarity?

John

Re: Politics in America has changed forever because of this.

It's not that big a deal. We aren't at war, and the economy (excepting the NAZ) is in good shape.

Gore has a less engaging personality than many clumps of earth I've seen (and that does matter for a leader), while Bush is callous and stupid.

Many of you fear that Gore might go too far on environmental initiatives and attempting to reduce economic inequalities, but congress would stop him there. Bush has the capability of making mistakes (he really doesn't seem very bright, and has nearly zero government experience) and might appoint some borderline religious fanatics to the supreme court, but that's by no means certain.

In general, it's not the end of the world whichever one of these guys gets it.

Regards, and don't worry so much,

Dan
