10. Hey, I voted for him
And I'd vote for him again against any Republican you or I can name.

But the fact is that the media would begin attacking him 24/7 from the moment he announced his intent to pursue the nomination, and they wouldn't let up until a Republican was in the Whitehouse. It happened the last two elections, didn't it?

If the Dems field a candidate who, in the mind of the public, is already the loser, then that's as good as forfeiting the whole campaign. That might change if the Ohio election fraud story gets better traction, but for now Kerry stands no chance.

I'm not thrilled about Gore's chances, for mostly the same reasons.
