Reply #1: What I learned from this article....

[senseandsensibility]

For some reason, both Ann Richards and Gore were unwilling or unable to take * on directly, even though both were obviously able to do so, and had tons of material to work with. Whether this was because they had been advised poorly or for some other reason is not made clear in the article. Let's hope that Kerry does not avoid the direct attack. If * doesn't like to be on the defensive, let's put him there again and again and again....:)
