 GA> Robert, my feeling is that the Repub's may have gone for

 RC> Even if the Dufus steps down, the wisdom of that strategy
 RC> is still dependent upon two undecided events:
 RC> 1) will OwlGore pardon the Dufus and risk the same damage

 RC> 2) will OwlGore select Gephardt as vice-president, thus

 GA> I hate to think people could be so gullible, but hey, they

 RC> I think the majority of the electorate was unconvinced at

Unfortunately, there do seem to still be a huge number of blind
and gullible people out there.  All too many polls (even given
the slanting of polls) show a majority of people in the
'who cares' category.
