I don't think Al Gore's political career is over.

[trumad]

He's head and shoulders over any of the canidates, except maybe Wes Clark, that may be running for president.

[nashville_brook]

1. me either -- other than wellstone, he's the only pol who has my heart

he is a prince.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. There were two other than Al for me. One was Paul Wellstone and the

other was Bobby Kennedy.

[Upfront]

14. Wow!

I would only add Howard Dean and Harry Truman.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

20. Dean is excellent unless pressed, then he becomes a little unsure of

his gut instinct, which is Great. Truman dropped the bomb. I cannot get passed that.

[DODI]

2. GORE/CLARK 2005

Boy, I wish we had the British system. I want a no confidence vote!

[goclark]

4. I'll drink to that one!

[colbushwhacker_2000]

11. That would be awesome !

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Yeah baby!

My two favorite Dems! :loveya:

[Booster]

3. At least he has the guts to buck Bush and take matters into his

own hands for the good of the people. If Al Gore can get a plane and fly down and pick up sick people, why the Hell can't Bush? We wouldn't be in this trouble today if the election hadn't been stolen from Gore. He's got more integrity in his little finger than Bush has in his entire body.

[stlsaxman]

5. I pray that you are correct.

We need him now, more than ever. Even if he just keeps speaking truth to power with or without running for office.

Gores speaking from the heart is just the tonic this nation needs.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

6. I LOVE Al Gore and lamented during the last Pres race that he didn't

run again. He just swept me off of my feet with his series of Moveon speeches. He had the guts that Kerry never showed.

Al is still My President!

[orpupilofnature57]

7. Might have got the cobwebs out of the minds of the ? % that helped..

Diebold, elect this idiot son.

[lildreamer316]

8. I SAID this a month ago.

I swear he's gonna run. I'm taking bets.........

[Gloria]

10. Look at Clarks "other" experience...

12. When people ask me who I would support most for the next presidential race

I say Al Gore. He is one of the best people out there.

[Kahuna]

13. Yep. Gore and Wes are truly dream presidents for me.

I think they are both awesome.

[mithnanthy]

15. I just saw him on TV

..arriving at the airport in La. and he looks extremely concerned and serious, and pissed. He would have been a great leader through all this nightmare. What a wonderful man. I want him as my President.

[mountainvue]

23. What channel? n/t

[KT2000]

16. He's bucking Clinton too

our Dems to step out from behind Clinton. He has goofed on this one. Gor is doing the right thing - yeah!

[PatrioticLeftie]

17. Out of all the candidates for Democratic Prez

Al Gore is my favorite choice. He was a voice in two episodes of Futurama, what other candidate has done that?

[bowens43]

19. I hope it is over.

I don't understand the desire of people on DU to run candidates who have proved not to be up to the task. Gore is a great man and a lousy candidate. Not as bad Clark but close.

[magnolia]

21. No...Bush was a lousy candidate.

We had excellent candidates.

[trumad]

22. Ahhh you must have drank the media kool aid about Gore.

Bu the way, please explain why he was a lousy canidate?

[AlGore-08.com]

24. C'mon Trumad, starting out 20 points behind Smirk & then winning

Is the definition of "lousy candidate".

If you throw in the fact that Gore was outspent 2 to 1, because he accepted campaign spending limits as a matter of prinicple, then Gore's win proves he's a "miserable candidate".

If you then add to that the fact that Gore had the worst, most hostile press coverage of any candidate in history, and still made up a 20 point deficit to win, that's the definition of "the worst cadidate we could run".

Get with the program, Trumad! ;)
