*”Mr. Gore presented a witty and very informative mulit-hour information and education monologue. And quite frankly, it was great. His passion and growing stature as a statesman was unusual to watch. His handling of his side of the debate was, as expected, very refined. He knew what he was doing. What I found especially interesting was his handle on his opposition’s comments. He knew his enemy.” Believe it or not, that was written by religious conservative Dennis Mansfield here . (Hat Tap: Red State Rebel)
