FIDEL Castro believes Hillary Clinton will become the next US President, with Barack Obama as her deputy, but thinks former VP Al Gore won't contest the presidential race.

In a column in the Granma newspaper entitled Submission to imperial politics, the Cuban President also wrote that Jimmy Carter was the only US President he had met that did not support “brutal terrorism against Cuba”.

Today, talk is about the seemingly invincible ticket that might be created with Hillary (Clinton) for President and (Barack) Obama for Vice President,” Mr Castro said in the column.

He said that the probability of Al Gore running for President for a second time was unlikely.

“I don’t think he will do so.”

He said that the candidates from both parties will see Florida as a prize that needed to be won, and that a policy for Cuba was necessary to attract voters.

“The State of Florida is the prize everyone aspires to, because of the Presidential votes it provides.”

1. Guess the disease went to his brain.

I am trying to remember - how long did Bobby take to enter the 68 election?? I know it was really, really late.

Anyway - Gore is by far the smartest guy in the room - so to speak. And we all know - the day he decides to do it - he will suck the oxygen out of whole cities.

I know - conservatives - true conservatives - at least the ones smart enough to graduate high school - will largely back him too.

This is his if he wants it. It just is.

4. Gore would be like an enormous magnet for anyone...

who wants to see the global issues he has adopted become a true political priority.

What excites me is that there are so many of us who desperately want a leader capable of tackling all the real crisis of our time as opposed to only one or two manufactured ones. Every day more Americans become personally affected by the mess we are in, and see Gore at the frontlines, already confronting the problems they are facing.

It's a personal connection that he is making by DOING whatever he can to make the right things happen, and millions of people are feeling it.

5. Castro has forgotten more about USAmerican Politics

than most USAmericans have ever known...

I'd listen to his analysis... Unfortunately for us all, my rational mind has to agree with his assessment.


He's had to know a lot about USAmerican politics in order to out-survive the 9 idiots (I guess leaving out Carter) who've lived in the White House over the last 48 years who wished him dead.

6. Forgot to add.. Castro liked WJC very much..

7. So, do you think it's more wishful thinking than accurate analysis? nt

9. Not at all. Castro stated he thought President Clinton was a very kind man...

"Castro said former President Bill Clinton was "really kind" when he bumped into him and the two men shook hands at a U.N. summit meeting in 2000.

He also praised Bill Clinton for sending police to "rescue" shipwrecked Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez from the home of his Miami relatives in 2000."

8. ???

I said 9 idiots:

Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, nixon, ford, (Not Carter according to Castro), ray-gun, bush I, Clinton, bush II -- who wanted him dead and took steps to try to "take him out".

That's 9...

I'd actually say 9 1/2 -- I'm sure that the war mongerer Zbigniew Brezinski, the one who urged Carter to begin what became the ruinous, unnecessary ray-gun cold-war arms race, the one we're STILL paying for out of our income taxes, wanted Castro gone too.
