...wealthiest 1% of Americans." Given the high stakes, it was surprising that Bush responded not with a specific rebuttal but mostly with complaints about Gore's "phony numbers" and "fuzzy math." Bush's advisers say this was partly a result of who Bush is - "It's not his manner" to rebut statistics with statistics, says Rove - and partly because his debate strategy was to avoid getting dragged into the policy weeds with Gore and instead stay sunny and above the fray.

When people run for as high an office as the presidency (or the vice-presidency), it is their duty to present themselves to the American people in an honest and straightforward manner. People expect them to speak forthrightly about their vision for America, the policies they hope to implement, their personality, their ideals and their beliefs...
