No, I really don't want Gore.

What many liberals who still support Clinton don't realize is what a sacrifice conservatives are making in urging his ouster. From a poltical point of view, Clinton's flawed survival is the best thing that can happen for a republican candidate in 2000. As VP, Gore would suffer some heavy hits in the dem primaries from other cleaner democrat candidates such as Kerrey and Bradley, making it easier for the republican to succeed in 2000. However, as President, he would be less vulnerable to internal party hits and would run a better campaign. Also, congress would surely stay republican with Clinton in the Oval office.

However, a principled view says that Clinton's juvenile and illegal behavior is damaging the office of the President. He has betrayed the trust of the people. He needs to be removed.

Unfortunately for my politics, I lean toward the principled decision.
