Whats the only thing that could make the Democratic field more pathetic (and ancient) that it already is? I mean besides Al Sharpton running? How about Al Gore, a relatively youthful 67? The good folks at Salon.com think he should be drafted:
Its time to draft Al Gore: If Democrats want to win, its clear neither Hillary nor Sanders is the way
By Sean Illing
The presidential election is still sixteen months away, but this much is clear: Hillary Clinton is a vulnerable candidate.
Since announcing her candidacy in April, Clintons stature has steadily slipped. Things got even worse this week. We learned, first, that Bernie Sanders eclipsed Clinton in small, individual donations, which is an indicator of popular support among likely voters.
Second, and more problematic, the newest AP poll revealed significant weaknesses among Democrats on a host of issues, including trust, character, and compassion for average Americans.
These numbers are alarming heading into the general election, especially for Democrats. Bernie Sanders is running an important campaign, but its very difficult to see the entire party rallying around him.
The only other credible candidate being mentioned is Joe Biden, but theres no evidence that he wants to run. . .
Salon clearly perceives what a lot of nervous Democrats no doubt sense. Salon goes on from here to state the positive case for Al Gore, which is where the comedy starts....

Please God make it so.
Yes, please, and Uncle Joe, too....
But didn’t Al Gore have a massage incident ... or was that John Travolta ... I’m so confused ...
Compared to Monica, what’s that?

Al Gore would be an incredible joke as candidate but with the likes of Bush III, he could win. Biden is a bit more credible and Obama could push him, which makes him potential. Bernie Sanders is the real sleeper. He, like Trump, knows the topics that arouse passion in the voters. These two have the right stuff to run the table on the other candidates. I’d love to see a Trump vs. Sanders matchup as it would really present two non-middle ground candidates that could fight out the topics and win/lose on the merits. Maybe I read to much into this and have some wishful thinking, but I yearn for a real issues campaign rather than a moderate, PC yawner that offers no choice to the voters.
Only Three of Twenty Presidential Candidates Are Message Carriers (Cruz, Sanders and Trump)

Like the holy Goreacle would take the pay cut.
AlBore should go to jail for life without parole for running the biggest most economic damaging scam in recorded history. It makes a whole new chapter for the old book “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds”. The money that has been funneled into the pockets of the confidence artists world wide is in the upper billions and all at the expense of the taxpayers.
Salon is now a consistent laugh. Better than the Onion.
How bout Carter or Mondale or Gary Hart or some other has-beens?
Imagine a debate between Ted Cruz, Scott Walker and Al Gore. Al would be shaking like Shaquille O’Neal at the free throw line. He just might throw a clot.
Actually, in the 1992 vice presidential debate, Dan Quayle cleaned the floor with Al Gore. Even the Boston Globe admitted it, but made excuses for him. The debate was only broadcast on radio. Al must have been taking Quayle for granted, but whatever, it was a one-off and Gore came off flustered and incoherent. (Surprise?)
Possibly the only person in the country who would make a worse POTUS than Hitlery. OMG, what a fool.
LET’S SEE HERE: Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley, Lincoln Chafee and Al Gore...... Oh yes! The only thing that would make it better, would be for Joe Biden to throw his hat in the ring.
