novapsycheConsidering Bush's remarks about Hussein's capture (it didn't matter if he were alive or dead), I have to say it does matter. (Bush's remarks matter nearly as much.)
I keep thinking to myself, how would Gore have reacted to 9/11? How different would this world be? So much ultimately hinged on the presidential election of 2000. And, by extention, so much hinged on that single vote in the Supreme Court decision. This has been the slippery slope that everyone was afraid of. Give the Christian conservatives an inch and they'll grease it with oil and slide as far as their skin will let them.

I also don't think that his international policies would have kept pushing the extremists like Bush's did. Gore's far from perfect, but I think he would have made far better judgement calls than Bush.
