I did not have the opportunity to see nor hear the debate on the 11th for I was at 33,000 feet heading from Santa Fe to St. Louis. Have read the opinion of others and based my thinking & feeling on observations.

From what I have read: it seems the focus last night was on foreign policy and they naturally had to disagree on some points and agree on others. In other words it was not very much of a contest. Health care seems to have taken some time and brought about differences. The tax cut of Bush's scares me for I feel it will not reward the area of society he says it will. The tax cut will not benefit the working and middle class of people. Albert R. Hunt in an editorial article in the Wall Street Journal spells it out very well. He said: "the Gore tax plan (also) falls short...but it is benign next to the Bush plan, which probably is, as the Democratic nominee charges, dangerous. It certainly is duplicitous."

From what I have read the two were more civil to each other, which I feel is a plus. Looking back at military decisions in Grenada, Panama, Bosnia, Haiti and the Persian Gulf, for me, was a waste of time. Without the in-put that was available at that time for the military and the Executive branch one is just guessing what should or should not have been done. Nothing that I read changed or added to where I am sitting here on the fence but I still feel about a "1" for Gore.

Do hope we hear more concerning women's rights in the future as well as oil exploration in our own country & coastal waters.
