re: Gore ways in on Bush Space Plan
Good sidebar on the issue.
IMO the reason goron is so easily able to dump on space now is the same reason he is able 'reinvent' himself so often: he has no center.
Frankly when he came out so early on backing Dean I thought it was because he sees in Dean a kindred soul...or lack of soul. Whether space is the only great thing Bush accomplishes or not can be discussed at length, but it is clear that what you point out is correct: many have personalized their hatred of Pres. Bush so much that they actively want bad things to happen, if it will take out Bush at the same time.
