Gore invited 23 voters to the Inns- brook resort outside St. Louis to help him practice, though he said he was an old hand at taking real questions from real people. In 16 years in Congress, Gore held some 1,000 town meetings with Tennessee constituents. This year’s race is not only the closest in decades but it remains volatile, with a number of states on the edge between Gore and Bush. “1 would think both campaigns would have a lot of urgency and a lot of, you know, stress and anxiety go ing on right now,” Daley said. Bush has gained ground in the race for 270 electoral votes. Head ing into the first debate. Gore held a narrow lead over Bush, according to an analysis of state polls and in terviews with consultants in both parties. Now, it is Bush who holds a narrow lead after Gore-leaning states such as Pennsylvania and Tennessee became tossups and New Hampshire, Ohio and Louisiana moved from the tossup category to Bush-leaning. Presidential historian Henry Graff of Columbia University said the im peratives from the last two Bush- Gore debates still hold: Gore has to correct the record after any Bush mis statements of his Texas record with out appem ing to mock or bully Bush. And Bush “has to continue to sound like he knows what he’s talking about.” It is too late for good first im pressions. “Oprah, Letterman, Regis have all made these candidates familiar and they’ve been scrutinized more care fully and more subject to the barbs and jokes of late-night comedians than in any other presidential cam paign,” said Graff. “A&M did not see a lot of the; war protests of the day,” he said He said A&M’s peacefulci in the ’60s encouraged par® send their children to the univers “A&M kids got a reputationi( ing conservative, and parents that.
