Bill Clinton thinks Gore could enter race. Ostroy: Gore/Obama ticket is "unbeatable"

[IndyOp]

June 13, 2007 -- DON'T count out Al Gore as a presidential candidate - Bill Clinton certainly hasn't. Clinton, whose wife, Hillary, is leading a pack of Democrats for the 2008 nomination, was at a recent Air America relaunch at the apartment of the liberal radio network's new chief, Mark Green, when political blogger Andy Ostroy asked him, "Do you think Gore's going to run?" Clinton replied, "Someone's got to fizzle. If someone fizzles, then, yeah, he could enter the race. He's got plenty of money, his own money, to do it."

Ostroy predicts: "It'll be Obama who will fizzle by September, and Gore will toss his hat into the ring and enlist the junior senator from Illinois as his running mate. An unbeatable ticket."

Obama did not fizzle by September and he doesn't have to - if Gore approached Obama or vice versa that would be one HOT ticket!

Sweet Home Gore/Obama

2. Which Gore/Democrat ticket would NOT be unbeatable?

Though I do agree, Obama's my first choice as Gore's running mate -- even though he's not my first choice as prez.

4. I don't know...Kucinish or Richardson...

I really like those two!!! I don't know about Edwards...I bet he doesn't want to go thru that again, but would kick himself later no doubt!!!

14. Richardson's asinine comment about the Great Lakes axes him.

Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota...more or less swing states that don't like the idea of having our ecosystem raped for the Southwest.

3. Why is it you think Obama should be in second place?

Have you asked him where he thinks he should be?

5. It's a quote from a freeper, not from Bill Clinton

Just Google.

7. No

Bill Clinton didn't say that>

13. TIPPER GORE/MRS. KUCINICH

Now there's a ticket I would enjoy looking at.

10. Until it's late, or Gore announces he's not running, Gore/Obama will always be my 1st choice!

[book_worm]

11. "Obama will fizzle by September..." It's almost mid October and he's not out of the race

If anybody is fizzling it's Edwards who has lost his lead in Iowa and is only one-point ahead of Obama in that state. He's also a distant third nationally.

[Swamp Rat]

12. A Gore/Edwards ticket is unbeatable. A Gore/Kucinich ticket is unbeatable. A Gore/Biden ticket

is unbeatable, a Gore/Cuomo ticket is unbeatable, a Gore/RFK Jr. ticket is unbeatable, a Gore/Feingold ticket is unbeatable, a Gore/Boxer ticket is unbeatable, a Gore/Clark ticket is unbeatable... etc.

[calimary]

15. That would certainly be MY dream ticket. Gore/Obama.

Or Gore/Clark.

Gore/ANYBODY, for that matter (anybody among the Good Guys, that is - NO Dark-Siders need apply).

16. "Could", yes. "Would"...

...maybe not so much. There's a world of difference between "could" and "would".

17. Unbeatable is right - it's the ticket that needs to be. n/t

18. If Bill had said that he'd be pitching a tent in the back yard tonight.
