I'd rather have neither Bush or Gore.
Let's see... I'd like to have an election where I can choose between experienced candidates with solid positions and new ideas, with diplomatic savvy. Instead, it will be another year of choosing between the lesser of multiple evils. They are all agents of change (can we ban that word for 2008? I'm already tired of it)... there are no new ideas, and the experience in most, although relevant, means they've also learned to change their position based on the whim of the electorate to stay in power. Not the experience I want.
I still can't get over Gore pushing environmentalism when his lifestyle is as anti-green as they come. And although he didn't exactly claim to invent the internet (his words were "took the initiative in creating the internet", referring to legislative actions while in Congress), the fact is many of the core components of today's internet were in place before he was in Congress. He did sponsor or co-sponsor important legislation relating to computers and the internet in the late 80/early 90s, but that's not exactly legislatively paving the way for the internet. The information superhighway was already paved by then.
