5. No. See my report at http://www.geobop.com/education/People/Gore/
Anyone who could associated with John Stanford is no friend of mine. I have a White House photo of Gore visiting Stanford in the hospital that I'll put online soon.

7. Don't know. And I qualife
Actualy, a more accurate statment of my oppinon of Gore would be, "Its improving." Unfortuanly, how he handeled the 2000 campain, how he acorded himself following the election, and they slugish like pasivity following that has greatly eroded my oppinion of him. I am forced to conclude that he is a follower, and not the leader we all beleved him to be. But I do not say this in a negitive way.

8. He is still my guy, but he cannot make me vote for Dean in the primary. .
. . .I will not abandon him just because he endorsed someone else.

9. this is a done deal
I know what Gore's popularity is here

I think it's even stronger than Clinton's in a lot of ways.

19. Is beige an earth tone?
Gore has made some glaring mistakes, but overall I still respect him somewhat.

11. Of course
I've been a Gore supporter since 1988 and I'm not going to slam him now though I am disappointed that he would undercut the grassroots campaign efforts of MANY of his past supporters by a pre-emptive strike. :-) Let's get a vote or two in first!

16. Honestly...
...I didn't, not until a couple months after the recount fiasco, even though I voted for him, and supported him in the recount. It was during the recount that I actually began discovering how much the media actually distorted the man, and his speeches since then have garnered my respect.

17. Not really.
He tried to be Mr Nice Guy during the Florida recount and look where it got him. And that famous speech in San Francisco back some months ago that so many people here were swooning over -- it was nothing more than an apology for the Bush administration and a call to support them in their hour of need. He has NEVER spoken out against the illegal regime in power.

I'm a Dean supporter and quite frankly, I don't care one way or another who he endorses. At this point I'm cynical enough to think he's jumping on the Dean bandwagon.

20. No, I personally don't care for him BUT
I think his endorsement is going to carry weight with all the folks who know that the presidency was actually his.

21. More now than before.
I think he now regrets his campaign move to the right in 2000. I voted for him then, but it took some nose holding.

His endorsement of Dean indicates, to me, his further abandonment of the right wing of the party.

25. I think he would have
made a GREAT President but I don't think he handled the recount as well as he should have.

26. Nope the lock box got to me...
The whole lock box idea was about as stupid an idea as you could get. I hate to say it but I doubt out response to the terrorist would of been better either, he didn't inspire confidence.
