- Actually, I thought Quayle won, if not on formal debating points, then
- by landing hits on the Democrats without a vigorour response. The
- "trust" issue was first brought up in force during that debate, and I
- felt Gore should have gone after Quayle's throat there and then. Perhaps
- that issue would have been defused before the debate's national audience.
- I personally didn't like sweating when the CNN poll went down to 1, and
- I think that might have been prevented. Oh, well, it's a moot point
- anyway, because whatever strategic advantage Quayle created was not
- sufficient.
