I Heart Gore

[Me.]

Just felt like saying it. Like the guy. Voted for him in 2000, would vote for him again. Would like to see what was taken from him, in the first place, restored to him.

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

1. Much better thread than the other day.

:)

Me too. :loveya:, Al.

[Me.]

2. Thanks Patsy

If those people in Burma can face what they are and keep on, I can deal with a mingy case of the doldrums.

[KoKo]

44. Hope Gore comes in this month...or anytime..

[BlooInBloo]

3. 2nd-ed.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. I like Gore, too.

I wish he would run.

[appalachianguy]

5. Ditto Gore

Gore was robbed in 2000 and deserves redemption.

6. *Support Our President!*

*Re-elect Gore in '08!* :patriot:

[DemGa]

7. My Al Gore prediction

Gore will launch a week long online vote for his candidacy. If the votes are there for a run and a win, he runs. That way, it's a true peoples' decision, not just Al Gore. I think Gore will then step up in support of the movement.

[Me.]

11. My Prediction

If it's a Go, my guess is that he'll announce between the 12th and the 22nd. of October.

[Pastiche423]

13. Pretty much what I have been thinking

W/your dates, I would only be freaking out for seven days.

I can manage that.

[helderheid]

51. If he doesn't announce, I say we draft him anyway - become a delegate (both uncommitted and commited

and if there is a brokered convention, draft Al Gore.

I just read the following from here http://mydd.com/story/2007/2/27/93023/1076:

Re: The seemingly inevitable brokered convention (2.00 / 1)


This is the only path to Gore.

Really... Hillary has 40% of the delegates, Obama/Edwards/other have the rest.

Let's say Hillary has 40, Obama has 30 and Edwards has 20.

Theoretically Obama and Edwards could come together as some sort of ticket. Given their similar credentials that would be unlikely and perhaps unwise.

Its impossible for Hillary to run with Obama, and similarly unlikely Edwards would be Hillary's choice, given her need for more experience on the ticket.

In other words- the big three are all mutually incompatible on a ticket (unlike, say, Reagan/Bush, where Bush added some foreign policy gravitas and moderate credentials for Reagan, or Kennedy/Johnson, obviously!)

The power player here is whoever is in 2nd. If its Obama or Edwards, either one could call Al Gore and say "I'm in for Veep if you open yourself for a draft" knowing a third of everyone else's support could easily be harnessed for Gore. What's more-- the two tickets--

Gore/Obama or Gore/Edwards make a ton of sense strategically.

Gore/Obama-- African American turnout would be almost as high as if Obama were at the top of this ticket.

Gore/Edwards-- bonus for the dems- no swiftboating this time around- both are well-known quantities and there is really nothing left to say about either from a scandal/ethical standpoint that people don't already know or haven't heard - unlike, say, Guiliani.

A brokered convention is the road for Gore.
And he knows this.

Would you hire George W Bush to be YOUR latex salesman?

52. Can Anyone Not In The Party Structure

become a delegate?

54. Thank You n/t

[elizfeelinggreat]

8. I think Al Gore is the answer to our problems right now

I really want him to be our next president.

Please run, Al.

PLEASE.

[Me.]

14. Hey Welcome

To you too.

[redwitch]

9. Me too.

Let's keep this going and send it along to him.

[golddigger]

10. I'll second, third and fourth that...

He's my president, not that egotistical, pathetic little man that's living in Gore's White House!

I'm not a praying man, but if there is a God out there, I hope he talks to Gore everyday and says..."I command you to run".

[Me.]

12. Hey There Golddigger

Welcome

[Cha]

15. I ordered a baseball jersey that said

"I Al Gore before I went to his talk on Global Climate Change, on April 26, 2007, at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York :)

Got so many compliments from the college kids there!

We've had a quite a ride with Gore and it just keeps getting better. Feel the same way about Dean and I hope he's able to resolve the dem primary wars with his gift of diplomacy, intelligence, and panache.

[Me.]

30. As For Dean, Well

Him too:loveya:

[stlsaxman]

16. Thanks, Me. Me, too.

[Blue Belle]

17. I heart him too!!

:loveya:

[Raine]

18. Me too

I :loveya: Gore! Gore's the man we need to have running for president, none of the others will do ... anyway not for me.

[Wiley50]

19. and neocons gore hearts. n/t

[SlowDownFast]

20. He's come a long way

since getting the presidency stolen from him.

I don't think any other politician could have handled it better. He's made serious lemonade out of them lemons.

It would be fitting justice for him/us/the world if what was taken from him/us/the world was returned.

[Me.]

21. He Went Through The Fire

And came out whole

[Gregorian]

22. Yeah.

I'll drink to that.

His mission, should he choose, will be far from impossible. I think he'd probably get the nomination. Now how can he not run, knowing that?

[Raejeanowl]

23. Does Anyone Remember the Carter "Backlash?"

The celebratory Democratic mood that, after Nixon, salvation was about to be delivered?

Well, I keep hoping what you're hoping, and as I project the (slim) possibility, I see pandemonium, delirium, if Gore declares. He'd be swept on a tidal wave. Everyone else might as well go home, including the Republican nominee, unless they think they can deliver another rigged outcome against him.

[DesertRat]

24. Me too

Please run, Al! :loveya:

[Me.]

28. Nice Pic

He looks good :loveya:

[mod mom]

25. I'd work my butt off to get him elected!

:loveya: too!

[earth mom]

26. Me too.

:loveya:

[Aristus]

27. If he runs, I imagine someone will interview him and ask:

"What do you want to accomplish as President?"

I'd love it if he answered: "Well, this time I'd like to actually SERVE."

[flyarm]

29. ME to!!..my heart is for Gore..Run Al Run!!..he has my heart and my checkbook..all he needs to do

is run..and i will do everything i can to see him in the White House ..and now he is so desparately needed by our children , our nation and the world.

He is the only "Leader" i can support!

[AtomicKitten]

31. Al Gore deserves all the accolades coming his way.

[rosesaylavee]

32. I agree with you Me.

Did you see this yet? Kurovski posted it the other day and I happily lifted it for my own... Makes me laugh everytime I look at it.

[Me.]

34. Made Me Laugh

:rofl:

[rosesaylavee]

35. Good.

Seems we all need a good one these days.

[DesertRat]

39. That's the first time I've seen that

Perfect description of many of us! :rofl:

[rosesaylavee]

46. Ain't it tho?

I think I identify more with the woman on the couch.

[DesertRat]

47. I can be either one depending on the day

:rofl:

[Me.]

49. I'm With Liz (er, Virginia) On This One

36. Sunday Kick For Anyone Elese Who

:loveya: Gore

[shifting_sands]

37. Restoration of Gore

I loved this ME. I see tons of threads regarding the restoration of Al Gore to the Presidency that was ripped away and I just smile when I see them. I can't think of a better project at this point than "restore Gore.
The United States, the rest of the world and Mother Earth would greatly appreciate and need his influence.

[autorank]

38. Lucky 13 - you go Al - now more than ever.

He'll do it after JE's saying "I can't comment" about a 2013 pull out.

[graywarrior]

40. Watching him on CNN right now.

[Eurobabe]

41. He's on Wolfie Blitzer right now, and looking good...

Interesting, he is not sure if he will endorse any of the Dem candidates. Too soon, or?

[janx]

43. hahaha!

Maybe he's having as tough a time as many of us are. ;-)

[Me.]

45. Damnnation!

Missed it

[MoonRiver]

42. Me too. See my thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1944774

If he won't run for President I hope he still remains in our government, helping to rescue the world from a seemingly inevitable global climate crisis.

[Kazak]

48. I 'less than three' Al Gore!!

:)

50. Al's 'How Dare You' Speech At NYU
