But if there isn't a market crisis or some other October Surprise, Bush will 
remain relatively more attractive to the voters, IMHO.  Gore is hopelessly 
didactic, which is pure poison to Americans.  Bush, of course, is anything 
but a smarty-pants; he radiates intellectual mediocrity, and US voters tend 
to find that quite engaging.
