[Mr. Buzzcut]

where is talks of the black slave in terms of being 3/5ths of a person ( which Ann explained fabulously )

A lot of people, including race-baiting candidate Gore, don't realize this was a concession to the non-slave states by the slave states, as it led to fewer congressional reps from the slave states.

That is just about exactly what Ann said. With a little more extraneous detail. And the professor who had posed the question (I assume he was a professor since so many seemed to know him and braced for the question) appeared to sink a little lower in his seat when she completed her response. Hehe

I suspect Gore understood this. He just didn't care. It was something that could be twisted to make America and the Constitution look bad, so he twisted.
