David, I think Gore has integrity and comes across as having it as well. What I believe people reacted to, was his inability to adjust to his audience and also his intense style came across as rigid. I suspect he was the person doing a lot of the analytical work at the White House, but the cost to this analytical focus may have come at the expense of practicing more on communication. I think he's a much better communicator than Bush, but he lost popular opinion when he tensely interrupted a person with a question. The public will forgive rudeness, but only if the rudeness isn't direct at them. Bush is an expert at being rude on behalf of his audience - this is why he gets away with so much. And why Gore didn't. Regards, Amy J
