Would A Gore/Clark Ticket Emerge Victorious in 2008?
Might this not be the BEST offering the Democratic Party could make for our country, after 8 years of utter HELL?

27. I would like to see Gore / Edwards, or Gore / Obama or Gore / Brown
Brown as in Sherrod Brown.

7. Therein Lies the Rub
Frankly, I think it would infuse this race with newfound excitement if these two gentlemen would throw their hats into the ring sometime in the autumn of 2007.

Run, Al, Run!

See Wesley Run!!

6. Almost as good as a Gore-Dean ticket. But...
...since Gore isn't running and Dean agreed not to seek the presidency this time around, how about a Clark-Dean ticket?

16. A Gore/put your name here ticket would give me a major woodie!
Although ANY *Genereic Dem/*Put your name here* ticket would be a VAST improvement over what the repigs are offering!!!

12. Yes..

Gore could take the lead on global warming and ask Clark to take the lead on defense and terrorism. I think service to country trumps ambition for both these guys and they would set an example for the world.

Perhaps we should evaluate all our candidates by which is the stronger force they project--personal ambition or the desire to serve...

17. They compliment each other
National security isn't something Gore is known for (as far as the public is concerned at least) and that is Clarks greatest strength.

Of course Gore/anyone with Clark as SoD is just fine for me. :)

20. This is the first mention of Gore I've seen here in several days...
I was wondering if everyone forgot.

I'd love a Gore/Clark ticket. or Gore/Edwards. Gore/My Pet Goat works too.

I love Al. He's so inspiring. I think he can win and turn this country around.

22. Gore isn't running
and Clark was thrown in in 2004 to combat Dean's popularity. Are you guys EVER going to get that?

31. Absolutely. Clark is a lock for a cabinet position at the least.
By the time the primaries are over and a democratic nominee has been selected, I think most voters will want a fresh face as the VP selection.

33. Rummy might say it like this...
Gore is not not running until he says he's not running.

Savvy, naysayers?

Have you signed the draftgore.com petition? Join 107,000 who have already called on this great American to run.
