I was upstairs working on something when Gore came on, so I ran downstairs but stopped in the hall because I was struck by the tone of his voice. I didn't watch much of his speech, I listened to it. His tone of voice was very contrary to the words he said. He is very angry. He also sounded condescending, superior, and snide, much as he did during the debates. He didn't sigh and tsk-tsk like he did during the debates, but his tone was very much like the headmaster who has discovered the students engaged in unseemly acts. Bush gave his speech from the chamber of the Texas House of Representatives, I assume to demonstrate that he has worked with Democrats before while achieving bi-partisan goals. He hit all the high notes. He alluded to the election of 1800, between Burr and Jefferson, which was finally decided in Congress after many votes, which he mentioned, and a lot of behind the scenes politicking by Hamilton, which he did not. He promised to govern according to the principles of Jefferson, which I doubt. He also stated that he is not the President of the Republican party, he is the President of the nation. I thought that was cool.
