What I mean is that, to me personally, it is not too critical which guy out of the two ends up at the helm....

That's because personally, I see both positives and negatives for each of them....

Of course, everyone has a different opinion, and the USA itself is practically split down the middle....

Actually, I do have a vote (I'm a dual citizen -- USA and Australia)....

It's not very common, but there are a few of us around. :)

Regarding Gore and Bush specifically, there are things I both like and dislike about each candidate.... That's what I meant. :)
