Al Gore for President?

According to Newsmax, The Telegraph is outlining a scenario by which Al Gore becomes the Democratic Nominee for President.

In the unattributed report from Newsmax (meaning I can't give you a link), Gore comes into play after Clinton regains enough momentum in March to deflate Obama's current surge.

The Clinton camp reportedly believes that if Obama doesn't deliver a knock-out blow before the March 4 primaries in Texas and Ohio, Hillary could win those races and regain the momentum, with many superdelegates uniting behind her to preserve party unity. That could lead to bitter battles at the Democratic convention in August, "which could even end with Al Gore, the former vice president, emerging as a compromise candidate," according to The Telegraph.

A Clinton source told the paper: "There's a 5 percent chance of that happening, but that's 5 percent too high."

Revenge of the Gorebot. Certain poetic justice to it. Let’s see. What do you call it when President Gore dashes around the world trying to get people worked up about the earth’s rising temps and freakish weather:

Global Barnstorming.

Did you ever run into an old girlfriend’s friends, and have them try to convince you that you were foolish to dump her, but you’re really lucky because, years later, she’s still on the market?

I don’t see it happening. Hillary loathes Gore. If she’s not willing t step aside for Obama, why would she step aside for the Gorebot.

No more tax rebates if Gore becomes President. Just carbon credits.
