Republicans, however, said they were pleasantly surprised with Texas Gov. George W. Bush's performance...
...evening, foreign policy. It was wise of moderator Jim Lehrer to ask the candidates which recent U.S. military actions they supported, especially since so much of the campaign's foreign policy arguments have been on the abstract and philosophical level. However, the answers were not always illuminating, as Texas Gov. George W. Bush repeatedly praised the foreign policy decisions of the Clinton Administration. Bush noted his preference for using the military in war-fighting rather than "nation-building" activities and argued for a more narrow view of what is in the nation's interest, one that would exclude the campaigns...
...there has been a commendable news drought during this presidential election and I laud the media for their conscientious neglect of issues concerning the private lives of Vice President Al Gore '69 and Texas Gov.

Candidates should not be forced to conform to either of their platforms in order to have a chance in American politics. For all the differences that exist between Vice President Al Gore '69 and Texas Gov. George W. Bush, they think alike on many important issues: Both are pro-free trade, neither are isolationist and both favor more military spending...
