>So, I wouldn't get my hopes up counting on Gore.
I only meant relatively to the other guy, sometimes known as "dubya" ("W"), who strikes me as an angry little man. I have read that he treats his subordinates like shit.
As regards Gore, I'm pretty sure I remember that either he or Tipper actually said that mental health would be something they would focus attention on. This was many months ago. Also as regards Tipper, I don't think anyone who's had a depressive episode ever forgets it. But I don't know the severity of her depression, only that she did go public about taking an AD for a while. This was probably to forstall it coming out during the election campaign. I agree with you that it was probably a situational thing and not at all severe.
