The last time Gore voted on the subject, he voted against the SSC.
However, Clinton supports it, and it is entirely plausible that, in
light of this support, Gore has changed his mind.

Either way, Gove has other things than the SSC to worry about right
now, and the issue just wasn't important enough for him to go back to
Washington.  I have no reason to think that he cares strongly about
the SSC one way or the other.

(I assume that this is also the reason that Seymour didn't vote on
it.)
