...inability to emulate the Clinton model of politicking but his adoption of its most unsavory aspects. Examples are his "no controlling legal authority" excuse to charges that he violated campaign laws and his denial that he knew the Buddhist temple affair was a political fund raiser. Gore has learned the wrong lessons from the Clinton presidency. But how can we expect him to keep his wits about him in an Administration whose motto seems to be "Everyone does it"? MICHAEL D.

...Gore wouldn't get my vote. Hillary Clinton is the logical choice for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. Her meeting with Tony Blair underscores her charisma and political savvy.

Is this the same Al Gore who has written a pro-environment book and is concerned about issues like global warming and conserving our natural resources? Gore is just another Clinton, spending too much of his time raising money. Perhaps that's good enough for a lot of people...
