...right that the questions are really liberal? Except for the military-stretched-thin question they're all pretty...
...That's true of the gun control question, too. Now, I wonder, sitting on the edge of my bed, will Gore wallop Bush on Texas's concealed weapons law? The swing states of Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin are pretty pro-gun in their cultures. But they don't have anything like Texas's take-a-gun-to-church concealed weapons law that Bush signed. It's a winner but NOOOOOOOOOOOO... Gore blows it off to go back and talk about his signature, reinventing government. D'oh! I think Gore's too freaked by the gun owners in the battleground...
...ROUND 5: Gore did OK on the campaign finance question and the one about kids being exposed to sex and violence. (Why didn't W. praise Tipper? It woulda been a home run and preempted Al.) His praise of McCain was a good riff. And so was Bush's riff about more civility on Washington. The ideal candidate would have found a way to fuse both messages...
...Bush did well on the affirmative action question, I thought. And Gore's response was OK. Clinton woulda blown them both out of the water with a big riff on bringing people together. It might have all been pablum but he would have done it better...
...liked the death penalty question. Am I the only one who thought Bush was trying really hard to look serious? The questioner was right: He was kind of animated when he talked about it in the last debate. And if you remember back to the primaries he was positively giddy at times. Interestingly, the swing states of the Midwest are basically anti?death penalty. Michigan, for instance, doesn't have the DP and GOP governor John Engler opposes it. So does Minnesota's Jesse Ventura. I don't think hang-'em-high helps Bush...
