Would Al Gore have made a worse mess in Afghanistan? Probably not.
Would Al Gore have made a worse mess in Iraq? Probably not.
On those two important points, Gore couldn’t have been worse than Bush.
On the other hand, Gore would have appointed more liberal judges.
Bottom line for me: If I could go back to the year 2000 knowing what I know now, no way would I vote for Bush. Would I vote for Gore instead? If my vote happened to be the deciding vote in the election, yes I would.
At least I can console myself knowing I voted for Keyes in the 2000 primary.
