"DEBATEGATE" PROBES continue into how Bush debate material got sent to a Gore adviser. Bush media consultant Mark McKinnon, whose former aide is suspected of mailing the material, testified Thursday before a federal grand jury in Austin, Texas; he has been assured he isn't a target, his lawyer says. Former Rep. Tom Downey, who received the material, also testified Thursday.

I don't know WT, my Commodore 64 got a heck of lot more bang for the ram than my Pentium III does today. 64K and ran without crashing any. Now it's 128 MB and crash on a regular basis. That's 2000 times more memory. I don't know about you but something seems wrong with that. 15 or so more days and the regime is over. Have a good weekend WT. alan w

WT, if you could for 10 minutes listen to Bush when he is in his element of a conversation of ideas and concepts and stop while listening trying to think of what's wrong with what he is saying and instead think of whats right with what he is saying you would over time come to see how bright Mr. Bush is. Bright is in IQ and common sense and in the wisdom of experience. I don't know Bushes IQ but I see in his words brilliant wisdom of experience and common sense. The common sense of working together, of mutual respect and the wisdom of compassion in making every effort to teach men how to fish. Bush sucks at public speaking and press conferences. It's a skill that will hurt perceptions of his ability but this may be fixed over time and he has the total loyal support of a team of skilled and articulate cabinet. I see no logic in thinking that these men would support a dumb person. TOm Watson tosiwmee
