11. That's an interesting question, Jed.

Are Gore and Clark not running because they are the best for the job?

No. In a way, I think they are best for the job because they are not interested in becoming the most "powerful person in the world". In other words, they have already been there and done it. Think about it. As the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO", he has already experienced dizzying executive (and military) power. Similarly, Gore has been there in a way that even Hillary can't claim though she lived in the WH too.

As for the animosity between African immigrants and African Americans, I have never heard that. Sources? I do agree that she could maybe earn as much votes from blacks as Obama.

Thanks for the comments.
