On civil rights, Gore supports continuation of affirmative action to help include those who have been historically shut out of the American dream. It's hard to tell where Bush stands. On abortion rights, Gore would appoint justices to the Supreme Court who would be likely to uphold the right of women to make the decision for themselves. Bush opposes abortion rights and would be more likely to appoint justices who would put the decision in the hands of the government. These are not small differences.
Voters have a definite choice.
Both are good men. Both are better than the caricatures painted by their detractors. Neither is likely to rank among the greatest presidents, but either would probably be a president of whom Americans could be proud. In our view, looking at experience, vision and the issues, the choice is Gore.
