1. November of 06 will either show the "corner"
or another long, dark, & insidious hallway.

2. Gore and the concerned Civil Libertarians
Edited on Wed Jan-18-06 08:13 PM by realpolitik
of the paleocon GOP have pried the door open, but the NeoCons and their media whores are trying very hard to pull it shut.

If they do, the next charge at it will have to blow it off its hinges, and I don't think the NeoCons will enjoy that at all.

3. the junta owns the media lock stock and barrel
the few dems left who aren't tainted by money are the butt of the talking head's jokes and blather. the corrupted dems are just in the way and offer an 'alternative' in name only and for appearance sake only. they are the nominal opposition, just so that we can pretend that we are not a one party country.

we are on a carnival ride through hell that the country won't get out of short of a debilitating, long lived depression, an invasion by a foreign power, or the intervention of space aliens....

5. I haven't heard anyone else speak about it.
It wasn't covered in the local papers and the TV news had a 10 second blurb followed by endless Hillary bashing. I'd say the boost is only here as predicted.

6. I don't think the Corporate Media can make Gore go away
Just sayin.

It's just starting. Scott McLellan dismissed Gore in a presser as "a populist." That says a lot about how terrified they are.

8. Over 1,000 news stories
according to Google. That should be enough coverage to put pressure on any remaining news outlets that haven't covered it yet.

9. Gore, Al Gore? Wait don't tell me.
He's the guy, no, did he, no, well can't be too important, I didn't hear about it on Fox or CNN headline news.

I would bet that 1 out of 3 non Du'ers or Freepers don't even remember who Al Gore is.

10. Gore and Murtha have given the timid Dems room to talk.
They can now present their own criticisms (ala Hillary) without being labeled "radical" because they can point to Gore and Murtha as "extreme".
