?Reelect Gore in 2004?

Split over another Gore campaign

Nobody should mistake west Los Angeles for the rest of America, but the long lines outside Brentano?s bookstore here Tuesday night offered a sharp counterpoint to the inside-the-Beltway notion that Al Gore has few friends left in the Democratic Party.

News flash... Bush won, Gore lost, now will you PLEASE get over it? :disgust:

Some Democratic insiders, still bitter over Gore?s 2000 performance, would prefer to see the former vice president slip into permanent political retirement, freeing the party to find a fresh face to challenge President Bush in two years. But many rank-and-file Democrats still believe Gore, after winning the popular vote in 2000, deserves another chance.

You do realize that bitching and moaning over every comment a Democrat makes isnt any better than the comments themselves.
 
regardless of whether you think gore won or not, i think it's pretty safe to say that he has no chance in 2004. the only reason he was a viable candidate was b/c of the economic boom under clinton...gore's stiffness won't win over bush's charming folk-hickness/dumbness
 
My favorite is this book that I saw the other day over at Border's Books while I was in the store: "At any Cost: How Al Gore Tried to Steal the Election."

Link to Book at Amazon

Maybe, when it gets marked down to 50 cents, I'll buy it and give it a read.

Some of my favorite quotes from the reader's opinions of the book:

Al Gore is portrayed as a desperate man who was more than willing to tear the country apart in order to win the Presidency. His ego was such that he put his own interests far above the nation's, thus dragging the ordeal out longer than necessary and creating deep divides in the nation that will take years, if not decades, to heal.

The book also showed how the Democratic Party, once a revered and respected political entity, could sink to very low depths in order to gain power. The use of catty personal attacks against Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris and the attempted "blackmailing" of Bush electors is spelled out here, and it only diminishes the Democrats. The books shows that the Democratic Party has been "Clintonized" and has now become the Mafia of American politics, run by political thugs and shysters. As I finished the book, I could fully understand why the United States Supreme Court had to end this charade.

This was an excellent review of the Florida recounts. I especially liked the explanation of the four 'rings' that described Gore's priorities, in which he was the most important and our country rated fourth.

After reading "At any cost. How Al Gore tried to steal the election" you realize that the 2000 presidental election was not that close at all, not if you throw out all the underhanded tactics by the democrats and the media. Seriously; who really wanted Gore in anyway? I don't know anyone personally who voted for this guy and even his own state voted for Bush.I am not alone in saying that the current sad state of the economy and the huge stock market drop s directly the result of the Clinton/Gore administration. Thank God Gore did lose.This book is a must read for anyone who wants the facts about the last election. A excellent recount of what really happened during the last election and why that election was not nearly as close as it appeared to be.

Al and Tipper were interviewed by NPR. They showed their "compassion" for individuals in the book by portraying the Gay couple as "normal" family and should be given legal rights just as other married couples.

I don't think this represents Mainstream America, but is just what the Democratic Party is wanting to be these days "ultra libral".

I do say it is bold and shows leadership in Al Gore. He is not hiding anything. I think that is the leadership and direction that was rejected by America, but what concerns me alot was the slim amount of rejection.

Hey, you don't know where the lockbox is. It's disguised as a copy of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. Only Tipper and Al know the true location. You might think you have the lockbox, but do you?

He was much different on Letterman last week. Maybe the two years off did him good. He was loose, easy-going, and funny.

Come on, don't you remember the debates with Bush? His personality flip flopped then too. Gore just found out that it would help his image to seem loose, easy going, funny, etc. so that's what he did. Who knows what the real Gore is like, he's too busy acting as he thinks he should act or saying what he should say to get support.

Plus we all know he's a robot, he was just reprogrammed. 😉

The movie The Abyss comes to mind.

I hope Gore runs or Hillary possibly. No better way to insure another 4 years of Bush.

It pisses Republicans off that if an election were held today between Dubya and Clinton, Clinton would win, even though he couldn't serve. 🙂

Some us live in a realistic world.

Gore divorced himself from Bill and Hillary during his campaign and many political writers say Clinton is to blame for Gore's loss. In the past two elections Democrats have lost big!

Would Clinton have won? Who cares?
 
"I think that is the leadership and direction that was rejected by America, but what concerns me alot was the slim amount of rejection."

You do realize that more people voted for Gore than voted for Bush ? I don't see how you can call getting a majority of the votes a rejection.
 
AL Gore? ROFL..with or without the beard?
I have a better idea for Gore.
He would be great in a Daytime Drama...All My Children maybe?
Like some wierd Jekyll/Hyde variant.
