[Brundle_Fly]

1. with a dash of Clark

as veep.

[wakeme2008]

8. IMHO,,, a Gore/Clarke ticket would

be unbeatable.. :woohoo:

[Brundle_Fly]

23. much better than a GORE

Lieberman ticket. ;)

[Nerdling]

Al or Feingold

I voted Al though.

[johnaries]

3. He was always my first choice. n/t

[AtomicKitten]

[robbedvoter]

[Perky]

5. You people have ther attention span of my two year old!!!!

two months ago everyone was jumping on the Warner Wagon for 2008 now he barely gets a token vote VP????

[jsamuel]

9. Remeber that the DU started just after Gore "lost" in 2000

[janx]

10. Good point! Thanks for the reminder. n/t

[American liberal]

21. really?! this site is that young? WOW! Covered a LOT of ground in these

five short years...

[janx]

18. What's the "Warner Wagon" ?

Seriously, there were some Warner proponents on this board, but not that many. ?

[robbedvoter]

26. Warnermania was purely operative driven. No actual passion.

It'll be pushed again, don't worry.

[Perky]

29. I am not plugging Warner per se just commenting

on how fickle DUers can be. We need to get some perspective on the Gore speech

[usregimechange]

6. Wow!

[janx]

7. Yep. Amazing, isn't it?

He seems to be the one Dem political figure that brings this board together.

[usregimechange]

12. This is the first I have seen where Clark didn't run away with it...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. Honestly? I'm Just Not Thinking That Far Ahead Yet.

[usregimechange]

13. kick

[we can do it]

14. Still My Choice -

[ktowntennesseedem]

15. Gore has always been on my short list, long before today's great speech.

The thought did occur to me during the few minutes I managed to catch live: "He's saying a lot of great things, a lot that needs to be said. But if by some miracle any of *'s brainless moran-base hears any of it, it will all be way over their heads."

But then, after reading this poll question, I had a new thought. Whether or not Gore runs, let's push for this:

"If anything Al Gore says is over your head, you're not bright enough to vote!"

Now that's some election reform I can REALLY get excited about!

[Swamp Rat]

16. If Gore keeps making speeches like the one today, he will be President...

again.

[Sperk]

17. absolutely NO CONTEST....He's earned it, he won it, he deserves it

He could have retired and made millions in the private sector. He knows how he's going to be attacked by the THUGS in Washington, the media etc.

He's fighting for US!!! It's about time we fought for him!

[CrazyForKucinich]

19. If Gore were to oppose the Death Penalty...I could probably vote for him

[IndyOp]

20. Feingold or Edwards or Kucinich -

I love Al and I believe he is performing the ultimate service to country right now by speaking out - I don't think he can or needs to top what he is doing now.

Except in very, very rare cases, celebrities don't accomplish the work that matters, they just get the attention.

Al supported Dean in 2004 - if he can lead us out of our current dire straights and support a Dean-like candidate in 2008 - that is so, so much more than many Presidents have ever done for this country.

[usregimechange]

22. I still find this hard to believe. DU-Clark use to reign.

[hiaasenrocks]

25. I made up my mind today.

My problem with the Democratic Party is that we don't seem to fight hard enough. And sometimes, in my opinion, we've been overly deferential to the repugs. (Yes, I really do believe that.)

We need a fighter. Mr. Gore isn't afraid, and he obviously still has the "fire in the belly." He's the right man to carry this fight forward.

GORE '08

[DefenseLawyer]

27. I was already in the Gore column

with the caveat that he couldn't revert back to the old cautious DLC Gore. This speech helps put that qualm to rest.

[WLKjr]

28. Gore/Clark '08

I can see it now. I think that would be a very winning ticket.

[MrSlayer]

30. Still Clark for me.

But I'd enthusiastically support Gore.
