Another strong point for Bush is his personal Chemistry. By comparison, Gore is less charming. But Americans, particularly the young, prefer a humorous, romantic and easy-going president. Vice president Gore also committed some blunders in his election campaigning. No matter who wins the contest, it would be difficult for the new president to steer away dramatically from the policies of the Clinton administration.
American voters are satisfied with the status quo.
They want to see the continuation of moderate economic policies. Times have changed. A change of the guard at the White House could hardly change this global trend. These are perhaps the answers I failed to get from the embassy people on Nov. 8, that unforgettable day in U.S. history. God knows whether they also think along the same line as I did.
