1. Woman from Lebanon to Bradley:  Mr. Bradley, in your opinion, what is the one most compelling reason that I should vote for you rather than your opponent?
 

2. Man from Hanover to Gore:  As you know, Vice President Gore, there's a great deal of cynicism in the country about politics and politicians.  The campaign finance system is one source of that, but there are many other sources, including the behavior of the Republican-dominated Congress, but also the behavior of some members of your administration.  What, as president would you do to restore confidence in the American political system?
 

3. Woman from Meriden? to Bradley:  My question concerns health care--your health care plan.  I like your proposal--your proposal for child health care, for guaranteed child health care for every child in the United States.  My concern is about the cost of the plan.  And my question to you is how do you plan to fund it?
 

4. from Hanover to Gore:  There's been talk tonight about health care reform, and I' a parent of a child who has diabetes.  And I spend a lot of time dealing with the insurance companies and what's covered and what's not covered.  And it eats up a lot of time and effort.  So I'm wondering if you were to implement health care reforms, who would be the decision-makers?  Who chooses what's covered?
 

5. Woman from Claremont to Gore:  A few years ago I attended a barbecue in my hometown where President Clinton and Newt Gingrich shook hands and promised to make meaningful campaign finance reform.  But they didn't keep their promise.  Since the process of changing the system remains in the hands of incumbents, how can the American voter force change in this area?  And what would you do specifically to advance real reform?
 

6. Woman from New Durham to Bradley:  Senator Bradley, continuing, I guess, with this campaign finance reform theme here, I'm also of the opinion that we desperately need it.  And I appreciate that you've put forth a major proposal in that regard.  But as a Democrat, sir, would you comment on the behavior of the '96 Clinton-Gore campaign as it relates to fundraising.
 

7. Woman from Meriden to Bradley:  In 1975, the United States government mandated legislation ensuring that all children with special needs would receive adequate education.  Since that time, the government has funded a very small fraction of that program's costs.  That places a terrible burden on small school districts.  If you were elected president, what would be your plan to mobilize funding for special education mandates?
 

8. Woman from Lebanon to Gore:  ...my question is very straightforward: How do you plan to end violence in schools?  And how will you assure parents our children are going to be safe?
 

9. Man from Hanover to Gore:  I'd like to change the topic slightly to foreign policy.  As you know, in the last 10 years the U.S. has often intervened militarily in other countries, extensively in response to gross violations of human rights.  Yet there have been several cases in which the U.S. has refused to act.  What principles would you use to distinguish cases that require U.S. action, and those that do not?
 

10. Woman from Grantham to Bradley:  My question regards the test ban treaty.  We recently saw the Senate reject the ratification of that treaty.  I am wondering what your reaction to that vote was and how you would respond to nuclear proliferation issues?
 

11. Woman from Hanover to Bradley:  Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have not been fully extended to gays and lesbians in this country.  Social justice for these citizens is long overdue.  Can't we do better than the military's don't ask, don't tell?  What leadership will you offer to move our national conversation and policies forward?
 

12. Woman from Plainfield to Gore:  I liked Senator Bradley's answer, and I know that you've also been an advocate for human rights.  Many of us here in New Hampshire care deeply about the rights and the dignity of gay and lesbian people.  And recently, across the river, our neighbors in Vermont have been discussing legalizing same-sex marriage.  I'm wondering what your thoughts and feelings are about the legalizing of same-sex marriage.
 

13. Man from Enfield Center to Gore:  A little change of direction here.  I'd like to ask a question that deals with energy conservation, and I'd be interested in your comments on possible federal incentives dealing with organizations, companies, businesses that are building new facilities or upgrading or retrofitting their processes to make them more energy efficient to reduce the long-term demand and need for our non-renewable energy resources.
 

14. from Meriden to Bradley:  What assurance can you offer that a Bradley administration will do as much or more than a Gore administration to tangibly foster environmental quality and sustainability?
 

15. Man from Francestown to Bradley:  Senator Bradley there are currently four million Americans living in the United States with Alzheimer's disease and suffering from its devastating effects.  Research has shown that early recognition of memory disorders and psycho-social interventions, such as care-giver support groups, can not only improve quality of life for these patient and their families, but may also delay more costly nursing home care.  Unfortunately, current community-based programs for such treatment is underfunded.  And in addition to this, the service delivery systems that are poviding such care are terribly fragmented.  I was wondering what your thoughts were, Senator Bradley, about funding such high-quality home- and community-based care for these patients with Alzheimer's disease and their families.
 

16. Woman from Etna to Gore:  I'm a clinical psychologist, and my patients and I have been adversely impacted by managed health care.  The insurance companies have really taken a minimalist approach in terms of what they allow for treatment and have really limited mental health benefits, often allowing less than therapists believe are necessary.  What are your views on the limitations of mental health benefits by managed care, and what, if any, would your plans be to address this issue?
 

17. Man from Lyme to Bradley: ...I've been involved in education all my life.  I was in the Teacher Corps about 20 years ago in Oakland, California.  And now I work in New York City.  I do a lot of work in the inner city.  Things haven't changed. They really haven't.  And it's a crisis, but it's now systemic.  Are we just going to get more teachers in?  Are we going to do the kind of professional development, sustained action over time to make change, or is it really going to be just more military spending?  I mean we have smart bombs, that my wife pointed out to me aren't always so smare, but we don't really invest in smart kids.  More than the teachers, what are you going to do to really change around the inner-city school?
 

18. Man from Hanover to Gore: Vice President Gore could you discuss education results?  What can we do to improve the education of our children?  And please don't say, "Spend more money."
 

19. Man from Lebanon to Gore:  In our country, even in the strongest economy in a generation, too many parents work too many xxxx for too little money and get too little respect.  Families are paying a price for that.  It often seems that companies do not value the people who work for them and make them successful.  and the low level of trust most people have in corporate America is truly alarming.  I do not believe there is any single policy or law that will address this.  What will you do as president to provide leadership to get our country working better for everybody, working people as well as CEOs?  And not to say take away from Dartmouth College, and this hasn't got anything to do with them--
 

20. from Lyme to Bradley: ...I'd like to ask you to elaborate a little more on the reasons that you left the Senate and why the time is right now for you to come back into national politics.
 

21. Man from Enfield to Gore: ...my question to you, sir, is, what is the biggest mistake you have made in your political career?  And how have you changed as a result of it? 
 

22. Woman from Lebanon to Bradley:  In his answer to an earlier question, Vice President Gore indicated that you did not agree with our involvemetn in Kosovo, Bosnia and the most recent crisis.  [Man interjects].  Okay.  East Timor.  I'm sorry.  I was afraid I might misquote you.  I would like you to expound upon that please.
 

23. Man from Hanover to both candidates:  ...this is a question not about policies, but about what you see as the essence of leadership.  You've both had the opportunity to see national and international leaders up close.  What do you think characterizes those whose leadership is most effective, and how does your own approach to leadership relate to that?
 

24. Man from Hanover to Gore: Mr. Vice President, one of the things that concerns me most, in talking to my students and hearing them talk, is a continuing feeling of cynicism towards public service, the idea that politics is a dirty word, that government is the problem.  I think we've come a long way, but I think--in our entertainment and in so many of the anecdotes that I hear even young people talking today there's still that attitude.  And I would like to hear you answer this, and I hope Senator Bradley could tag on to it too.  What would you like me to say to my students?
