Do You Think Democrats Should Persuade Gore to Run in '08?

similar question as another poster, instead of asking republicans about cheney, want to get the left's view on Gore...

I figure if he senses enough support from the democrats, he's run a campaign similar to Howard Dean. He stands a chance to raise up plenty of money via the internet (his invention after all). I predict if he does run, he will run further left of center than Hillary, and will call her out for supporting the war in Iraq, and so forth. Are democrats worried about their far left base calling the shots during the primaries, demanding that they nominate a more liberal candidate (i.e. a kerry as opposed to a lieberman or even edwards?), and thus tank their presidential aspirations?

For the record, I am a Republican. But notice I didn't resore to name-calling, just want to feel out the libs in here... (Uh, maybe "lib" is name-calling, but most liberals i know are either proud to be called liberals, or they're in denail about being liberals anyway)

 
Hes probably too busy inventing things like daily personalities and recalling interesting things that never happened to him or just growing that forkbeard. :laugh:
 
It's interesting that in the Dem polls he finishes second to Hill right now. He is the only candidate who takes a significant chunk of the pollage from Hill.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if he entered the race. He is much more favorable to the D base than Hill is.
 
Possible, but only if he starts making himself very public for the next couple of years. The Democratic base still likes him, but he's still a loser (debatable of course, but no less true). Also, it would take a lot of work to make him not boring.

Obama should run. And you are hearing this from a party neutral source.

Obama needs a few more years of expirence. Once he has been around for a while, you can bet he will be a real contender.

Have you seen him lately? This is not Al Gore from 2000. He's not boring. If anything he'll have to turn it down a notch.

Al Gore... lively? Even after seeing it, it's hard to say it's true!

Gore was good. He is like the nagging baby now.

Wrong!

We might have Evan Bayh. (I don't think he's officially decided to run, but he's tested the waters.)

He's a moderate Democrat, who's overwhelmingly popular in this red state. He's currently a senator, but has also been our governor.

Do to his popularity, he'd be able to pull fence-sitters, midwesterners, and southerners. These people, the Dems need desperately especially southerners.
 
not if they want any chance of winning...

If they do run him, then they'l be making the same mistake they've been making for awhile now. The Democratic Party has some decent ideas, yet they just have no sense of how to deliver them properly! They will need a fresh start ,with a fresh face, with a NEW message, or they're screwed... again.
 
He should run. He could run on a platform of: you should have voted for me last time and then you wouldn't be in this mess.

Gore won't need pursuasion, but he's the one who'll make that decision. If he decides to go for it, he won't be alone. If he wins the nomination, I think Dems will stand behind him.

Wrong. Check Joe Biden. Smart, experienced and articulate.

You got one out of two. He was good, but he came off poorly when speaking in public. He also won the majority of the votes, except in the Supreme Court.

He's got a lot sharper focus, now. If he decides to run, I just hope he keeps up the stronger voice he's found.

Agreed. We need a new face, a new direction and new leadership. The party is run by professional losers right now. The Republicans have gotten so good at beating them they don't even bother to cover their tracks anymore.

That's what we did in 04. The Republicans countered with GODLESS LIBERAL WHINERS LOVE TERRORISTS THEY WANT TO BAN YOUR CHURCH AND FORCE YOUR CHILDREN TO MARRY HOMOSEXUALS WATCH THIS BIN LADIN TAPE HE LOVES KERRY IT'S ALL TRUE LOOK ANOTHER PRETTY WHITE GIRL WENT MISSING AMBER ALERT AMBER ALERT and they won.
 
I would vote for him. Ever since 2000, I think he has found his voice after being "freed" from all those political hacks/advisors. I truly believe the world would have been 1000x better if he had won instead of the failure that is GWB I don't know if he will run in 2008 but if he does, he would be doing so to the left of Hillary. Democrats don't like losing candidates so I doubt he would get the nomination again, but I hope they would make an exception. The Gores really seem like nice people and he would make a good President.
