I'm not as clued in about politics as I'd like to be, but one thing about Clinton's work that has impressed me, is how effective he is at foreign policy. Of course, we all feel that our major problems are here at home, but with so many countries suddenly becoming nuclear powers, and so much of the earth in various countries being decimated(we won't have a country if we don't have an earth), it strikes me that dealing with other nations may soon be of supreme importance. This said, I am leaning toward the idea, that the best candidate is the one who would most likely be best at foreign policy. I would guess that this would be Al Gore, since he has spent the past eight years watching Clinton work and becoming familiar with all the nations and dignitaries who could possibly have an effect(negative or positive) on The U.S.
I'm sure that with sufficient info, I could be persuaded otherwise, but with my limited knowledge this sounds pretty reasonable.CarolAnn
