Rating two people speaking in front of a teleprompter, to me, is a waste of time. I want a president who can speak from both the heart and the brain and one who completely understands what he or she is saying and one who completely understands what it is that the nation needs and how the nation's needs fit into the rest of the world. Although Gore was better at this; Bush flunks!

"GORE GOT MORE VOTES THAN BUSH!" Considering Bush got more votes than Clinton did in 92, would it be fair to ask how you felt about that election?

Here are a few interesting statistics from our breakdown map of counties won by George Bush and Albert Gore (http://www.federalist.com/e2000.html) as compiled by law professor Joseph Olson. The last item is, perhaps, the most telling. >> > >> > Counties won by Bush: 2,434 >> > Counties won by Gore: 677 >> > >> > Population of counties won by Bush: 143 million >> > Population of counties won by Gore: 127 million >> > >> > Square miles of country won by Bush: 2,427,000 >> > Square miles of country won by Gore: 580,000 >> > >> > States won by Bush: 29 >> > States won by Gore: 19 >> > >> > And now for the most remarkable finding.... >> > >> > Average Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Bush: 0.1 >> > Average Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Gore: 13.2 >> > One more interesting fact that might help explain these disparate murder rates: Gun ownership in the counties won by Mr. Bush is much higher than in the counties won by Mr. Gore!
