- NPR is a liberal news show. It would not be at all difficult for them to
- find liberal college debate referees that would side with a liberal
- viewpoint. I am not suggesting that V.P. Dan Quayle won. What I am suggesting
- is that who a person feels the winner is is largely based on which viewpoint
- the person is coming from. Liberals will agree with what Gov. Al Gore said,
- while conservatives will agree with what V.P. Dan Quayle said. After all, who
- won is only an opinion, and thus can be different for each person.
