Level -> Al Gore to the rescue? (3/31/2008 5:44:59 PM)
quote: Plans for Al Gore to take the Democratic presidential nomination as the saviour of a bitterly divided party are being actively discussed by senior figures and aides to the former vice-president. The bloody civil war between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has left many Democrats convinced that neither can deliver a knockout blow to the other and that both have been so damaged that they risk losing November's election to the Republican nominee, John McCain. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/03/30/wuspols130.xml quote: CBS) When Al Gore ran for president in 2000, he was often ridiculed as inauthentic and wooden. Today he is passionate and animated, a man transformed. His documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," won an Oscar, and last year he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Now he's a certified celebrity, the popular prophet of global warming, and has helped change the way the country thinks about the issue. And yet while 70 percent of Americans believe global warming is a big problem, they still rank it near the very bottom of their list of top 25 concerns. And so Al Gore is about to wage a new campaign to emphasize the urgency of what he says is the greatest challenge facing our time. But as correspondent Lesley Stahl found out while spending time with him and his wife Tipper, for the moment at least, there's another campaign Americans care about most. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/27/60minutes/main3974389.shtml

I made it a particular point not to vote for Al in '00, nothing has changed. Why is this party so devoted to self-destructing? Have they been pandering to "victims" for so long that they have become perpetual losers themselves? The answer of course would be Joe Lieberman. That the radicals within the party despise him would be the best reason of all for me to rejoin the ranks.

Interesting. Considering the polls re Obama and Clinton supporters somewhere between 25-33% saying they would not vote for the other, a Gore /Obama ticket mught be unbeatable. McCain is uninformed and ignorant on the economy and even what is going on in Iraq.He doesn't know the difference between Sunni and Shiite as he demonstrated in his comments re Iran training Iraqi fighters. And today, he said he was "surprised by the Maliki govt. going after Sadr's militia alone". i.e., without cosulting the U.S. While in todays news, top U.S. military commanders said the offensive was a well planned and coordinted effort that the U.S. was and is closely involved with. He said he was willing to stay in Iraq "for 100 years if necessary". But , despite McCains vulnerabilities and weak candidacy, the Demovrats look like they are looking for a way to lose this election too. And Lieberman ? Lieberman is a schmuck, imo.

Gore as the savior of the Democrats....yeah...right....sure...[;)] He's been off in Hollywierd spinning his fiction about global warming since 2000, hasn't done a damn thing for the party since flubbing Florida in 2000, and now he's the best the Democrats can come up with?????

quote: ORIGINAL: cjan McCain is uninformed and ignorant on the economy and even what is going on in Iraq Just like '04, this isn't the Republican's election to win, it's the Democrat's to lose. What are they offering? A shrill, lying, bitch and an eloquent guy who turned out to be just another gimme-cause-I'm-a-victim hack (Yes. He really blew it with me on that race speech). The solution is to offer not just a loser, but a sore loser. I may leave the Presidential block blank in November, just so I can tell the lefties around here that the Dems put McCain into office without any help from me.
