Suppose Gore is the '08 nominee. Who for veep?

[DavidDvorkin]

Would he make the same mistake as last time and pick someone like Lieberman?

I like the idea of Gore/Clark. Any other suggestions for Gore's running mate?

[Longgrain]

1. Clark or Dean

Maybe Boxer.

[DemDogs]

25. No way Gore picks a Clinton ally

Clark is totally a non-starter.

[moggie12]

2. My suggestion is that he not run

I'd like to try a new face, preferably a Governor but I'll consider a General.

[NeoGreen]

3. Would I be flamed to oblivion if...

I suggested Gore/Kerry?

With Dean at the head of the DNC to keep them in line.

[JI7]

5. Kerry wouldn't do it

and Gore wouldn't ask Kerry .

John Edwards might though.

[Cheswick2.0]

17. I don't think Kerry would accept that position

[skylarmae]

4. Don't think that Gore can ever make a comeback, do you really?

Too many weaknesses and past bloopers for the repukes to use the he's always going to look foolish.

[IronLionZion]

8. oh yeah? like Nixon?

Nixon was just ridiculous. He even lost a governor election in between

[DavidDvorkin]

15. "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more"

After that news conference, he was declared dead politically.

[phillysuse]

6. Gore's VP

Much as I respect Gore, his time in the sun has come and gone.

We need someone who can appeal to both red staters and blue staters.

We need the candidate who stated, "We live in a liberal democracy - that's the system our founding father's set up."

We need the candidate whose motto is "When you can do good, you
should."

On this 60th anniversary of Auschwitz, why don't we support for 2008
a candidate who saved a people from genocide, who saved
over 1.4 million people from ethnic cleansing......

General Wesley Clark for President in 2008

[JI7]

7. Al Gore is from a red state

[phillysuse]

9. Al Gore may be from a rfed state but he

didn't appeal to red state voters.

Been there, done that.

[Cheswick2.0]

16. He beat bush

[Hippo_Tron]

21. He also lost that red state that he is from

If he hadn't he'd probably be POTUS right now.

[IronLionZion]

27. the District of Columbia is hardly red

he's not really from Tennessee you know. But he has more right to be from there than the Bushes and Texas

[lojasmo]

10. Dean or Clark N/T

[ldf]

11. clark as vp

gore/clark would be an excellent ticket, with dean head of dnc.

they would all kick ass.

[PassingFair]

12. Dean n/t

[ElectroPrincess]

13. Yeah David D, I could get behind a Gore/Clark ticket ...

Yes, that would be an awesome combination!

Just imagine, men of true compassion with foreign affairs experience, intelligence, communication skills as well as healthy doses of empathy and social finesse? Add to the above, Gore himself being well versed in Environmental/Health (both physical and mental) Fields in depth far exceeding the average politician.

That would give us hope, for sure :-).

[DavidDvorkin]

18. Real balance

Not geographic, but experience.

Two brilliant men, moreover. Both fine speakers.

It would have to be the flaming populist Gore, not the cautious one. And the measured Clark.

[Nye Bevan]

14. I like the idea of a military VP....

who will bring some real credibility to the ticket for fighting terrorism and for cleaning up the Bush mess (imagine how horrendous that will be in 2008).

Either Clark or General Anthony Zinni (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Zinni); I would be interested to see any other suggestions.

[zulchzulu]

19. Willie Nelson

Since the chance that Gore would be the nominee is nil in 2008, why not have some fun.

[DFLforever]

20. Dean

[jfern]

22. How about Mark Warner?

Thanks to Gore's early comments against Bush and his foreign policy, a moderate southerner would round out the ticket.

[saltpoint]

23. I guess it could be Gore. Wasn't on that path, though.

Ok, if it's Gore, then how about Alexis Herman, former Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton?

No, I don't think he'd choose Lieberman again. If he does, I'm going to beat the crap out of him.

[HumblePiRSquared]

24. You and I know it'll never happen

We are now at least a decade away from a liberal electorate.

Only a sudden change in the path of the US in general will affect this fact.

[DavidDvorkin]

26. I'm just talking about the nomination

Not the election.

I don't think the problem is a change in the electorate. I think the problem is that the fascist swine have control of the voting process and the media. A decade won't be enough. I fear won't have a truly elected president again in my lifetime.
