Karen Hughes, communications director for the Bush campaign, released the following statement:
"The working families of America will not be well-served by more fighting in Washington. Yet Vice President Gore tonight offered more of the same old language of class warfare, partisanship and division.
"Without intending to, he also offered a laundry list of the policy failures of his own administration -- from failing to provide prescription drug coverage for seniors, to failing to enact a patient's bill of rights, to failing to improve public schools, to failing to eliminate the marriage penalty in the tax code.
"Despite his promises, he offered few specific policy details and instead went through a laundry list that had more clichis than convictions. Tonight's speech underscores the need for Americans to elect a president who is a strong leader with a vision to unite our party and work with Republicans and Democrats for the best interests of working families."
