Linda - I must say I couldn't compare the two candidates "at this point." But my general memory of Gore was of a man who was constantly trying to reinvent himself and his campaign themes, trying to appeal to everyone and therefore appealing to no one. Bush simply couldn't have won that election on his own. The election was Gore's to win or lose.

I am immensely impressed by Kerry's realistic and restrained judgements on terrorism. He has been under tremendous pressure to pander to the left wing of his party, but so far as I can see has stayed squarely in the center. Of course I am no longer in the loop, and base these views on what I read, eg in the NYT, Atlantic, and New Yorker. And it may all be one gigantic spin. But it sounds genuine to me.
