"After the Second Debate: Tilting Slightly from Gore to
Bush"
October 13, 2000
WELL, ONCE AGAIN, I WAS TOTALLY LEFT FLAT BY THE DEBATE.
George Bush did score a couple of points however. I was impressed by his
attitudes on equal rights for gay and lesbian marriages. He was right, first
of all, that it isn't anybody's business. As I asked before, whatever happened
to the "Don't ask, don't tell" mentality.
I was also impressed to find out that he does have a sense of humor. I
think that is an invaluable asset.
Mr. Gore does as well, but I wasn't sure that G.W. did.
I think Gore did a good job of apologizing for his exaggerations in the
prior debate. That didn't really hurt my opinion of him in the first place. I think that
every person on the campaign trail is desperately seeking something to say,
and it's a thousand wonders they can keep anything straight.
Long story short, on the five-point scale, I am now a 1 on the Bush
side.
I'm a mess.
