Source: Gore thinks Clinton unstoppable

[SaveElmer]

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A source involved in Gore's past political runs told CNN that he definitely has the ambition to use the peace prize as a springboard to run for president.

But he will not run, because he won't take on the political machine assembled by Sen. Hillary Clinton, said the source. If the senator from New York had faltered at all, Gore would take a serious look at entering the race, the source said. But Gore has calculated that Clinton is unstoppable, according to the source.

Gore repeatedly denied he has any plans to run again, but this week a group of grass-roots Democrats calling themselves "Draft Gore" took out a full-page ad in The New York Times in a bid to change his mind.

Nice try on the continuing "Shove It In Your Face Inevitability" tour.

It ain't workin', bubba.

3. And a political machine is a good thing?

4. CNN: "Most Trusted Name In News," My Ass!

:puke:

5. Sounds like another dirty tricks campaign by "Freinds of Hillary"

maybe, but not maybe not.

[JeanGrey]

6. WHAT??? This is Bullshit!!! Hillary is NOT UNSTOPPABLE

and Al could stop her in a matter of minutes if he got in the race!!!

7. I firmly believe mark penn

was behind this in some way...

[Mythsaje]

8. Brought to you by the "we pull it out of thin air" Department...

Bleh.

[DefenseLawyer]

9. By the way

the people involved in Gore's past political run... are idiots. I'm talking to you Bob and you too Donna.

10. Gore is DLC . . . Hillary is DLC . . . DLC will not be looking favorably on Gore jumping in ---

[saracat]

11. Gore is no longer DLC. Gore "resigned" from the DLC years ago.

[AlGore-08.com]

12. Actually Gore broke with the DLC shortly after the 2000 race

He said in 2002 that he had "evolved beyond them".

[defendandprotect]

15. Gore was a FOUNDER of the DLC . . . also encouraged Clinton overturn 60 years of Welfare guarantees!

Gore also had problems, it seemed, in 2000 making any strong populist connections --
His life-long relationship with the oil industry is also spooky --

Even with his late move on Global Warming --
He is still not challenging the oil industry -- burning of fossil fuels is responsibile for GW

He is talking about responding to GW with very lame ideas --

WHILE, he well knows that electric cars are viable and could replace every gas-guzzler on our highways -- See: "Who Killed The Electric Car?"

Meanwhile, with our without Gore, we should all be thinking that we must nationalize our oil industry and take back control of natural resources from the few private families who "own" them!!!

13. BTW, this is a dupe and has already been discredited, at least on DU!

[MonkeyFunk]

16. It hasn't been discredited

I swear, people here think unnamed sources is some new thing. It's been a journalistic tradition for many, many decades.

[saracat]

17. I said by DU.Get it? But its garbage anyway.

[MonkeyFunk]

19. so you have evidence

that Al Gore IS running for President?

[saracat]

20. I have no idea either way but neither can anyone definatively say he isn't

I personaly don't even know if he should run but who knows?

[razorman]

14. Gore's Nobel prize probably has Bill Clinton steaming, since he wants it so badly.

And if Gore decides to enter the race, Hillary's head will explode. Right now, it looks as if a Gore candidacy might be the only thing that could take the nomination away from her.

[saracat]

18. I got a serious chuckle thinking about Bill and "Nobel Envy" BTW, no comment from Bill?
