The Issues

By now, all of us that care know where the presidential candidates stand on the big issues like the war on terror, Iraq, jobs, health care, et cetera, but what about the important things? Like say, Pete Rose and the Baseball Hall of Fame? ESPN has the goods on this and more here.

Money quote:

How do you think Major League Baseball should respond to Pete Rose's
request for reinstatement?
Bush: I believe Pete Rose should not be
reinstated. Because I don't think he has come clean. Listen, the guy's a great
player, no question about it. But I think Pete Rose needs to say that he had a
problem and the problem is that he recognizes it, apologizes for it and
recognizes the damage done to the game of baseball before [he's] admitted into
the Hall of Fame, and he hasn't done that.
Kerry: Well, it's a tough one. If
you just look at performance, he's one of the great performers. ... He'd be a
slam dunk on performance, but as we know from Shoeless Joe and other
experiences, gambling is treated differently and it's over the line. So, I think
that it's my own inclination is that you gotta draw the line. You have to set
the standard and gambling puts you outside.

So, they agree in something!
Favorite athlete for Kerry- Wayne Gretzky. Me too- I'm sold!
