Is There Any Chance That Al Gore Will Rescue Us from Clobama?

[QC]

How much more of this are we expected to endure?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. No.

[jlake]

2. Obama is the savior - no room for two.

[IndieLeft]

3. Keep it up...

Feed the fire. Add nothing. You sound so intelligent when all you have is ignorant comments.

[Cha]

4. There's talk Al Gore will endorse Obama

and he sure as hell wouldn't endorse hilary clinton.

[Guaranteed]

6. THAT would hurt Clinton.

Not getting my hopes on that, though- I don't think Gore will lower himself into politics.

[IndieLeft]

7. You got that right.

The Clintons screwed him.

If it wasn't for Big Bubba's little willie, Gore would have been giving his final state of the union this year.

Of course, then Lieberman would be the Dem nomination.

Huh... That's scary too.

[Cha]

17. Not to mention

the reports that hilary thought she was the vp.

[DiamondJay]

18. Gore, Scalia, Thomas, Rehnquist, O'Connor and Kennedy screwed Gore

stop blaming bill clinton for hurting gore in 2000, he was the reason Gore even got to run in 2000, and is who he is today and people other than political junkies know him. Gore picked Loserman as his VP, surpressed the vote big time, and let Nader come in. Lieberman being the possible VP also galvanized the religious right with the prospect of a jewish VP or president-in-waiting,and may have cost Gore in Tennessee. He also should have used Bill Clinton as he was riding on high approval ratings in the 60s. He also should have also come out big time for Elian Gonzalez to stay in America, and would prob have swayed enough cubans that florida could have been a little more decisive. He also didn't use his administration's high ratings to talk about his policy successes. If he had done shit right, it would have been Bush I vs. Dukakis all over again, Gore as Bush, Bush as Dukakis. Also, let us not forget the real enemy, the supreme court.

11. He would endorse Clinton over Obama, don't be silly.

He even alluded to voting for her.

[NYCGirl]

27. Nope, that's been debunked. See my post below. NT

[JVS]

21. Hold up, didn't he supposedly vote for her on Tuesday?

[NYCGirl]

26. No, he didn't vote on Tuesday. He voted early.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/Al_Gores_vote.html

Al Gore hasn't made an endorsement, but he has made his choice.

Gore's Smith County ballot was one of the 631,680 counted yesterday in Tennessee, where Clinton won the state by a 54% to 40% margin.

"He early voted," said Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider. "As a private citizens, neither of the Gores are releasing who they voted for."


But his ballot, with all the others cast, was counted on Tuesday.

28. Bobby Kennedy Jr, Gore's right hand man endorsed Hillary in October /nt

[TexasObserver]

5. and then ... depression set in

[tabasco]

8. More mindless dribble from Hillary drones.

Amazing that they call Obama supporters cultish.

[QC]

13. I don't like Hillary or Obama.

And the word you are trying to use is "drivel."

[TexasObserver]

22. I think he's right.

Dribble, you know, like slobbering and drooling.

[QC]

25. Or dribble, as in racking up more than 1,400 pointless, insubstantial posts in ten days.

Don't think that people don't know what your little game is.

[TexasObserver]

32. now, now, you're drawing conclusions that are unwarranted

I'm expressing myself here because I want to, because it's the place for it, and because I'm excited to have a candidate we can finally win with in November, someone who isn't dirty with the stench of power and money.

I'm sure a nap will perk you up. Try that.

[Cha]

23. Yes, it's more than obvious

that you don't know the difference between hilary and Obama..sorry, but that makes you intellectually lazy

[QC]

24. There's a difference between them?

Well, one of them does have much cooler celeb hangers-on than the other, I will grant you that.

This issue reminds me of something especially funny from Boswell's Life of Johnson:

Johnson, for sport perhaps, or from the spirit of contradiction, eagerly maintained that Derrick had merit as a writer. Mr. Morgan argued with him directly, in vain. At length he had recourse to this device. "Pray, Sir, (said he,) whether do you reckon Derrick or Smart the best poet?" Johnson at once felt himself rouzed; and answered, "Sir, there is no settling the point of precedency between a louse and a flea."

[tabasco]

30. Nope, Professor, I meant dribble ...

Your post does not rise to the level of drivel.

Maybe you can establish drivel as a goal.

[QC]

31. As it happens, I really am a professor.

Thanks for addressing me by my title.

[TexasObserver]

35. University of Phoenix, no doubt

[Uncle Sinister]

9. Gore is not the savior. Clobama is not even clever. grow up. eom

[dkf]

10. Rasmussen markets has top odds on Gore as VP

[bilgewaterbill]

14. Never happen. IMHO.

[dkf]

16. Don't see why not.

A girl can always hope can't she?

[bilgewaterbill]

19. Of course a girl can hope, DKF!

And the candidate would be smart to offer him the job. I just don't think he'd take the offer.

[HughMoran]

12. Absolutely, positively not

It will NOT happen.

20. I really don't think Gore would beat Obama right now..

Seriously. He has all the momentum in the world. Left Wing Dems LOVE him, but the people voting off their asses for Obama right now are the mainstream, Indy's & Republicans seeing the light.

Those aren't strongholds for "Tree Hugger Gore".

I think if he entered the race NOW, he'd lose. If he'd started a year ago, Obama probably wouldn't be in this.. it would be Gore vs. Hillary.

Just my $.02

[Blarch]

29. I agree.

[pathansen]

33. I thought that maybe he could run for Green Party if things don't work out

with other candidates.
In other words, if it looks as if McCain will win the general election because we elected the wrong candidate in the primaries, Gore might be able to come in at the last minute to save the Planet from a leader who doesn't care about the environment.

[Danger Mouse]

34. Gore won't run. But keep dreaming.
