I respect your opinion a great deal.  I can also see that you might
like Gore's politics.  About have of the electorate does.  But that you
consider him decent surprises me.  Gore has repeatedly lied during this
campaign both about himself and especially about Bradley.  He lied about
his previous positions on abortion, tobacco, and campaign finance
reform.  He even claimed to have invented the internet.  He also
refused to condemn supporters at a rally who spit at and taunted Senator
Kerrey, a Bradley supporter.  These are not the actions of a decent guy.

I am not a registered democrat.  But I think that Bradley is the decent
one, while Gore is the one who will do anything to win.  Clinton taught
him well. 

Why do you think that Gore is decent?

I said decent, I didn't say great.  I don't think that he represents the best
we can do; I have a great deal of respect for Bradley and I would vote for him
in a national campaign but I don't think he's going to last the next few
primaries.
