Draft Gore indeed! ...............

[Jackson4Gore]

Gore is vintage today. It just makes me more proud to be in a campaign trying to draft the man. He is far and above the other candidates. Gore is still the one!

1. No thank you. I'll stay with a winner, Howard Dean.

But thanks for asking.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

51. I guess you've already forgotten that Gore DID win....

But thanks for posting.

[blm]

2. He is doing a great job, dems...a GREAT job.

100% American Patriot.

[virtualobserver]

6. he is giving a great speech

If he had run his campaign in the same way that he has been speaking lately, he would have won 2000 in a landslide.

[blm]

11. The media tore him down.

No campaign can combat that. Yet Gore won anyway. I don't trust who the media chooses for us.

[virtualobserver]

15. There is always a way to combat it .......

If you can't figure out how to combat it, you won't be able to function as President either.

I have great affection for Gore, but I did not like his 2000 campaign.
I think that he has now learned what he needs to know.

[Skip Intro]

43. was talking about that just today. Why did the media tear Gore down?

I saw it happen and I've wondered ever since why the media did it. I still don't under stand that.

I would love to see Gore enter this race, as unfair to the other candidates as it may appear to some. He would have my support without hesitation. He is our rightful President.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

52. Who owns the media? If you know that, you'll know the answer.

[Closer]

3. His speech

is good, but let's not get carried away here. LOL

Gore is a great statesman.

[deutsey]

4. Good for him

We need leaders in the Dem Party who will speak out this way. However, I still take Gore at his word and don't expect (or want) him to run again.

[Jackson4Gore]

5. He doesnt have to run, if he is drafted by the people

that is not going back on his word.

[virtualobserver]

7. if he is drafted at the convention

he will make a great candidate this time.

[livinontheedge]

8. Dean will be the nominee. No need to draft a man that lost his own state.

I will never forgive him for losing Tennessee.

[virtualobserver]

14. Gore would only be drafted if no one was able to win outright.....

I am fully behind Dean, but Gore has been transformed.

I am very happy with him, and I can forgive him. He is serving his country well.

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. Yeah right!

Gore apparently "lost" Tennessee like he "lost" Florida and I really doubt that President Gore needs you to forgive him for anything.

[Skittles]

40. GEORGE W. BUSH LOST HIS OWN STATEd

CONNECTICUT - REMEMBER ???

[Gingergal]

45. Worse than that!! GWBush LOST HIS OWN COUNTRY!!

We need to remind people of that every time they start on that crap. Which is worse losing Tennessee or losing the vote of the majority of American voters?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

53. You either don't "get it", or you're being deliberately provocative...

...which is it?

[chimpymustgo]

9. Gore is THE MAN. Maybe he could unite the party.

I really like Edwards, Clark and Kerry. But maybe we should think about seriously drafting Gore - especially given the deep divisions among Democratic supporters of the candidates in the field.

This speech is utterly tremendous. Gore's honesty, intellect, and anger at this mis-administration are powerful.

[virtualobserver]

21. I'm a Dean supporter, but I love Al Gore

If Gore is drafted, I now trust him to annihilate Bush.

He won't take any sh*t from the press this time.

[deutsey]

28. I hate to be a cynic

but he was "drafted" by the people once before and we know how that turned out.

Seriously, I like Gore, and I would've rallied behind him if he had run this time around. He didn't. So, I've gone on to another candidate who is running and doing quite well these days.

[HFishbine]

10. I'm a Dean supporter

If Gore ran. He'd have my support.

[Jackson4Gore]

12. Great! Help us draft the man! :)

[HFishbine]

30. Nope

Won't abandon Dean for a reluctant warrior. Gore has a little something left to prove and it won't happen by "Alright, I'll run if you really want me to." It will have to be more with the fire and determination he's demonstrating in his speeches.

[Hogarth]

13. Wow!

It's as if someone sprayed his persona with WD40!

Go Al!

[Closer]

16. See I feel the opposite

Don't get me wrong, I LOOOOOVE Gore, and before Dean came along, I wholeheartedly supported him and wore my "Re-elect Gore in 04" buttons, but I gotta be honest here. His speech is GREAT, but his delivery is boring. He's just not an energetic person.

[Jackson4Gore]

19. Gore is boring? And Dean is energetic? Give me a break!

[Robin Hood]

56. lol.. No shit.

Gore was smoking and has been smoking all the contenders including dumbass dubya. He is the man, if he wants it.

[livinontheedge]

22. No, he IS energitic . . . just not charismatic.

He just isn't likeable. I hate, I mean hate, his condenscending tone. The way he stretches 2 syllable words into 3 syllables. He just turns me off. And he lost his own fucking state!!! Had he won Tennessee, the Florida kerfluffle wouldn't have made a difference.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. Yawn

Gore was on fire, very passionate and more then a little pissed! You on the other hand :boring:

[Cheswick2.0]

33. so many right wing talking points in one post

amazing from a democrat

[Ardee]

41. a pity you dont speak our language....

I wish there were a few more democrats speaking EXACTLY like Al Gore, if that were the case you and your buddy George W could spend the next few years down Crawford way...........

A great speech in every respect, one that the democreatic candidates should read, re-read, memorize and utilize......

[asjr]

24. Gore

I beg to differ. I thought he was really wound up. I hung on his every word. I feel this speech will fire up all the Dems who are running. He has opened the door and I loved what he said.

[kentuck]

27. I wasn't bored for one second ??

Where did he lose you?

[Cheswick2.0]

32. did you watch the speech?

what in heavens name were you looking for?

[ParanoidPat]

36. I've seen Gore's speech and I've read your posts.....

.....GORE WINS! :evilgrin:

[Zorra]

17. If Al changes his mind and runs,

I'll vote for him in a heartbeat. I'd love to see him get re-elected.

Gore/Kucinich? Gore/Clark?

See ya later, smirk-o - expect a subpoena any day now.

[Must_B_Free]

38. Gore/Kucinich - WOW!

WOAH! That ticket would make this nation into a a righteous leader in the world.

This would be my dream ticket.

[MercutioATC]

50. Seems to me, many voters thought Gore was too liberal and studious

...Kucinich would HELP with that perception?

I think they'd scare the hell out of too many Idependants.

[JohnKleeb]

55. and those indepedents would just vote Bush?

and you suggest we run someone less liberal than Gore?

[MercutioATC]

57. They voted Bush last time.....

And no, I'm just saying that a Gore/Kucinich ticket seems a little unbalanced to me in terms of public perception.

[Ilsa]

18. God, I love Pres. Al Gore!

But I respect his decision not to run again and will direct my efforts elsewhere.

Great speech. He puts Chimpy to shame. I love how he is jamming on Asscraft and Shrub, human rights violations, abuse of political and military power, Big Brother govt. and loss of civil rights.

[Junkdrawer]

20. He is growing in stature and confidence with time...

I only hope who ever is the eventual Democratic nominee does the same.

[Khephra]

23. I love Gore

But coming in this late, after repeatedly saying he wouldn't, would make him look worse than Perrot with his "I'm in! I'm out!" bit.

It would personally be insulting to all of us, no matter who the candidate, for him to come in. He had his chance to declare, but too many people have spent too much time on the campaigns at this point. Clark only got in "under the wire" imo, and that's mostly because there was such a long lead-up to his announcement.

Gore would just embarass himself if he came in now. I don't think he'd get a fraction of the support now that he would have had just 6 months back.

Maybe 2008 (if we lose) or 2012. I'd love to see a Gore/Hillary ticket then, just to see the freepers in a fit.

[RichM]

25. This speech was pretty great, I must admit. If he'd talked about Iraq,

it would have been magnificent without qualification. Maybe it was magnificent anyway. (Yes, I realize the theme was Civil Liberties, & not foreign policy.)

The speech was filled with substance from start to finish. It was accurate, brave, and brilliantly delivered. Gore has apparently developed a great deal, in his "time off."

[quaker bill]

26. Great speech

I do not believe he will respond to a draft. But I sure like him out there stirring the pot.

[andym]

34. If he is drafted at a deadlocked convention...

If he is drafted at a deadlocked convention, it will
look great for him and be great for America. The rightful President up for re-election.

Alot of people will realize how unfairly he was treated last
election.

He should then make Trippi his campaign manager.
With Trippi as his campaign manager, he'll win and change
the country.

[populistmom]

42. This is my dream scenerio

God, I miss Al. He got me so charged up today. A year ago at this time, I was waiting with antiscipation over what I expected to be his annoucement to run for President. I would support any Democrat, but Al's where my heart still is. I'm signed up on draft Gore, but not holding much hope at this point. :(

[Cocoa]

35. awesome speech!

I hope it's part of a series.

The republicans will have to neutralize him somehow. One way they might do it is to distract from what he's saying to rehash the 2000 campaign, or to speculate on his intentions to run again.

Let's focus on the powerful message he is bringing us. :toast:

[Must_B_Free]

37. *sigh*

he's not running
he doesn't want to run
he's a liar
he's a loser
he's boring

I think he would be the best choice to unite the party ahd take the election. America loves the goodguy to come from behind and stand victorious. Plus we all know that Al was truthful, while the media and Bush lied.

But I think too many people are too far invested in their own candidate to do the right thing...

[Neecy]

39. I'd support a draft movement

...but I don't see a deadlocked convention, unless Edwards sweeps the southern states (won't happen), Dean loses California and New York (won't happen) and Gephardt sweeps the industrial states (won't happen).

I'd rather see Gore just declare his candidacy. I wonder if the "DNC insiders" who discouraged Gore last year are any happier with a Dean or Gephardt candidacy. They should be careful what they wish for.

[angka]

44. thank god somebody

still has the courage to state this, since i have found myself to be...ah, courage-challenged lately.

[Gingergal]

[Beaker]

47. Al had his shot. Give Wesley Clark his turn. we need a proven fighter.

Gore gave up, and let the Junta have their bloodless coup d'etat.
Why should he deserve a second chance to capitulate to the shrub?

[kodi]

48. more CV from the peanut gallery, and wrong

by your insightful remarks you wanted gore to start a civil war to overturn the SCOTUS decision on 12/12/01.

[Beaker]

54. It never should have gotten that far is what I'm saying-

But his first mis-step in blowing what was handed to him was to pick Joe Lieberman as a running mate. It was all downhill from there.
But yes, he did give away Florida- with more than a little help from ol' joe.

[DemPopulist]

49. That's a great cartoon on your sig there

Who did that?

[4323Lopez]

58. Man..what's the use in drafting a dude that doesn't want to run?

This sounds like a pipe-dream.

[Petrodollar Warfare]

59. How about Gore as the US envoy to the UN & Clinton as the Middle...

...East envoy in an effort to rebuild much of the lost stature of the US? Gore could never catch up to Dean at this stage in the game. BTW, my "dream team" is a Dean/Clark or Clark/Dean ticket (but I suspect the former's will be the outcome due to Dean's $$ advantage). I worked in Gore's campaign in 2000, but his new role seems to be the person who can attack Bush's policies with sufficent gravitas. It still makes me sad/mad when I read Gore speeches like the one he gave this weekend. He would have a damn good president!

So, I have a ton of respect for Gore, and so does the world community, that why he needs to play some sort of vital role with the UN under a new US administration in 2005, with energy policy as a pivotal issue. With Dean/Clark running the country and Gore/Clinton handling some of international diplomacy issues at the UN and in the Middle East, we will stand a much better chance of restoring some of what we have lost under the neocon Imperialist administration.

Just think, London and everywhere else becomes a locked-down police state where ever Bush travels, but not with Gore and Clinton, the world actually repects these men...heck, London and rest of the world will probably throw a welcome party where ever Dean/Clark/Gore and Clinton travel...:-)

[mrgorth]

60. Gore has been great

but you don't just sit out the 4 years and then take another shot. He should work for the nominee.
