Gore Wins! (Tipper Gore, That Is)

GLEN ROCK, NJ -- October 28, 2000 -- With 58% of the vote (a commanding 16 point lead) Tipper Gore is predicted to be the clear winner as Americas favorite mother-in-law. The poll, being run by www.motherinlawstories.com, asks the question: Which candidates wife would you prefer for your mother-in-law? Tipper Gore or Laura Bush? "A vote for a mother-in-law is quite an endorsement," said Beverly Freid, owner of this popular web site, which is devoted to providing a place to vent your family frustrations. "We wanted to see how our readers felt about the candidates wives, independent of political platforms and party affiliations." At first, it was an extremely close race. But, as the election got closer, Tippers lead began to grow. "Now, it seems insurmountable. However, we will keep the poll open until Election Day, so there is still time to vote."
