Does anyone here think Al Gore's policies would be substantially different than Clinton's?

[calteacherguy]

For me, this is purely hypothetical, because I don't think there is any chance he will run. I'm just curious what ways people think his policies would be different, since he has so much support here. And yes, I like Gore, although I don't think he's electable at this point.

1. Yes.

I certainly can't prove it, but I think that Gore has abandoned being a DLC Republican. Clinton certainly hasn't.

2. Gore is closer to Edwards and Obama than to Clinton in terms of policy.

3. On what issues? nt

4. Without a doubt.

And if Gore were to declare tomorrow, he'd be #1 in the polls.

8. I disagree

outside of some people here, I don't sense a real groundswell for Gore. If he DID run, I don't think his chances of getting the nomination would be particularly high.

9. What policies, specifically, do you believe would be different? nt

5. I believe they would be, but if they weren't, I would not support him....

That's an easy decision!

6. Gore's book Assault on Reason shows his newfound respect for OPEN GOVERNMENT.

Clintons respect closed government - closed government that protects the secrecy and privilege of past administrations and their crimes of office.

How did that work out for our country in the long run?

7. The difference isn't in their policies; it's in how much I trust their judgement

Since leaving the White House, Gore has demonstrated excellent judgement and leadership on issues like Iraq and global warming. Hillary has not done so, to put it mildly.
