"Democrats seem to have more and more organizations to help different groups of people, and it just seems like more bureaucracy," said Elaine McCabe.

McCabe still connected Gore with the scandals of the Clinton administration. She said the recent uncovering of Bush's arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol 24 years ago shows the difference between the candidates.

"Bush was totally upfront and honest as soon as the arrest came out," McCabe said. "Clinton was unwilling to admit to what he did."

A few voters in Austin did say they supported Gore, saying he had a better grasp of the issues of the campaign.

"I think he has a better sense of the big picture," said Cindy Laviolette. "He seems to know more about the issues."

Austin resident Anne Connor said the decision to cast her vote will come down to the issue of abortion and which candidate will decide new members of the Supreme Court.

"All their other promises and programs can change with Congress, or how the economy is doing, but the Supreme Court is there to stay," Connor said.

On the UT campus yesterday, members of the Progressive Student Coalition and the University Democrats held a "Bash Bush" rally, providing an open microphone for students to voice their opinions about the Texas governor.
