How's this for some political arithmetic: Take a shallower-than-usual Democratic bench for 2016, hypothetically devalue a leading candidate due to an e-mail scandal, then toss in a retro candidate who lost one of the most controversial elections in history and you have the darkest of dark horse possibilities: Al Gore for president.
The former vice president and 2000 Democratic presidential nominee is headed to Iowa in May for a climate change event, and these days, that's all it takes to fuel speculation that he may be considering another presidential run.
At least, according to Ezra Klein, formerly of The Washington Post and one of the founding editors of Vox.com who, over the weekend, made the case for Mr. Gore in 2016...

I don’t know; he’s wealthy and his primary cause is a fabrication (environmental BS) for which nobody gives a hoot. Too many libs themselves can’t stand him; that is why he lost in 2000.
There are not enough aging wealthy white liberals to get him through the primaries.

Al Gore is such a buffoon! However, look around at all the buffoons who have easily won elections: Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Al Franken, Carol Moseley Braun, Elizabeth Warren, Maxine Waters, just to name a few. So yes. Absolutely Al Gore could run again and win. More easily than ever.

That is quite a list of buffoons and morons that reside in the Democratic Party. Ringling Bros. would love to have this many clowns in its circus. The fact these people get elected and reelected to Congress tells you all need to know about the Democratic Party and its voters.

After seeing BJ Clinton and Bath-House Barry as president, I’ve concluded that MY BASSETT has a chance! Never over-estimate the intelligence of the American electorate.
