81. The reality is...
That without him or Clark or someone who isn't seen as "establishment", it is highly unlikely that a traditional democrat will be in office in January 2009. When only 61% of the democrats are satisfied with the choices, something is dreadfully wrong.

People here repeating, "our candidates are fine... we don't need anyone else... we should all love this group" doesn't change the reality, which is that there is wide disatisfaction with the candidates on both sides of the aisle. (much moreso on the gop side).

When 58% of the population believes there should be a 3rd party and only 33% think the current parties are representing America, there is a problem. (http://www.pollingreport.com/institut2.htm)

Al Gore is quite smart and has managed to repackage himself as an outsider who doesn't want to be a part of "washington politics".

Just THINK about it.
