VOICE OF THE PEOPLE?

摘要

Bryant Henry is just the kind of independent voter Al Gore needs. The 49-year-old Chicago software consultant voted twice for Bill Clinton, is wary of the Religious Right's influence in the Republican Party, and calls George W. Bush's $1.3 trillion tax cut "irresponsible." Still, Henry can't bring himself to click his mouse on Gore 2000. What's stopping him? Mostly, it's the Veep's tub-thumping "us vs. them" rhetoric, a staple of his stump speeches since the Democratic Convention. "It alienates me," says Henry. "It tells me to expect lots of government interference in business."
