O.K. Say I accepted your argument to vote for the lesser evil -- the party that would do the least damage in the short run.

If I accept your argument, I have no doubt who to vote for: Straight Republican. No person in the 20th century has done more to harm single mothers than Clinton. Gore will almost certainly continue the attack.
