Gore enters Race--"IF"

[OHdem10]

Jack Quinn, Former Political Consultant to Gore Campaign
was a guest on Andre Mitchell Segment of MSNBC's "Super Tuesday".

Quinn started off with the caveat. We have some really great
candidates and I want that on the table first off.

He also wanted to make it clear this was his(Quinn's) analysis
based on his knowlegde of Gore not something he has been told.

Gore is not waitng for Hilary to stumble, Barak to fall or Edwards
to tumble. According to Quinn, Gore will follow the election
and if our candidates are "under-performing", Gore will enter
the race. Quinn further stated--We simply must win this election.
We cannot afford to lose. The Country cannot take another
term of Republican Policy.

Underperforming is the operative word.

Separate from Jack Quinn but related to underperforming IMO

That poll which came out yesterday which showed Hilary in a
definite lead 33 Obama 18 Edwards?
Only Fox News Reported that in that same poll Gore scored
close enough to Obama (within Margin of Error) that it
could be considered Gore tied Obama for second.

Newt Gingrich analysis: For someone with 100% ID to only
get 33% and Obama never gone over lower 20%, Gore not
in the race and head to head for second place--. There
is room for Gore or some other Democrat to get in and
take off.

On the Republican side, Guilliani was in upper 40s until
Thompson made serious noise about entering.

I guess it is all in the eyes of the beholder as to
how they see the poll.

I say -- It ain't over till it's over.

1. "Underperforming" not "stumbling"

get off the pot, Al.

2. Yeah. Right.

Because I'm sure Mr. NAFTA Messiah really cares more about "beating the Republicans" than winning the Presidency for himself.

3. I had no idea, you viewed Al as your Messiah!

:wow: I respect him and believe he's by far the best qualified human for the most powerful job in the land, having the vision to empower you to post your wisdom for all the world to see when he championed the Internet, but I wouldn't go so far as to declare him the Messiah.

4. It's amazing how far some hero worship will go, isn't it, Uncle Joe? NT

5. It blows me away NYCGirl, these people need to get a grip on reality. n/t
