Politically wounded presumptive nominee staggering in the desert of her email scandal.
Hillary is politically wounded by her never-ending email scandal, which keeps sucking the life out of her favorability ratings, and has Democrats panicked with fear:
Im not sure they completely understand the credibility they are losing, by the second, said one Democratic strategist, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. At some point this goes from being something you can rationalize away to something that becomes political cancer. And we are getting pretty close to the cancer stage, because this is starting to get ridiculous.
Look, this is a classic example of the cover-up being 10 times worse than the so-called crime though in this case there wasnt a crime, said another progressive strategist.
The culture of secrecy that has surrounded the Clintons understandably, in some cases has now yielded a situation where she did something that wasnt necessary and looks nefarious.
Joe Biden insiders are making it known hes seriously considering a run in the wake of Hillarys stumbles and Bernie Sanders surprising surge.
Elizabeth Warren is a likely entrant if Hillary falls further and Democrats seek a savior.
Even John Kerry just before Hillarys current troubles started said Nobody says never so he must be relishing a run now, particularly if he cements the Iran deal.
But the best sign that Hillary is in trouble is that even Al Gore insiders are talking up a potential run.
Yes, Al Gore.
From Buzzfeed, Al Gore Insiders Figuring Out If Theres A Path For Him To Run:
Supporters of Al Gore have begun a round of conversations among themselves and with the former vice president about his running for president in 2016, the latest sign that top Democrats have serious doubts that Hillary Clinton is a sure thing.
Gore, 67, won the popular vote in the 2000 election, and has been mentioned as a possible candidate in every contested Democratic primary since then. He instead spent much of the 2000s focused on environmental campaigning and business ventures. He has largely slipped out of public view more recent years.
But in recent days, theyre getting the old gang together, a senior Democrat told BuzzFeed News. Theyre figuring out if theres a path financially and politically, the Democrat said. It feels more real than it has in the past months.
The senior Democrat and other sources cautioned not to overstate Gores interest. He has not made any formal or informal moves toward running, or even met with his political advisers about a potential run.
A member of Gores inner circle asked to be quoted pouring lukewarm water not, note, cold water on the chatter.
This is people talking to people, some of whom may or may not have talked to him, the Gore adviser said.
This is how it starts.
Words, just words, whispered anonymously to Buzzfeed.
I hope Gore runs.

My money though, is still on Liz.

RUN AL RUN!!!
Please oh please run.....
I might even throw in $20 bucks (in the primary only) to get him to run; that would be fun!
If Kerry, Gore, and Biden jump in, the Dem primaries could be as big of a fiasco as the 2012 Pubbie primaries.
LOL
I remember he had a GW summit in Europe, and had to cancel due to cold weather. The coldest in 80 years : )
Algore’s personality makes Bernie Sanders seem madcap and zany by comparison.
Hillary - old and white
Sanders - VERY old and white
Biden - old and white
Warren - old and white
Kerry - old and white
O'Malley - middle aged and white
Did AlGore ever get his second chakra released?
Gore is more responsible for cooling the planet than any man who ever walked the earth. I don’t think even Jesus Christ himself brought cold fronts with him as if attached as an appendage.
Look for his faithful to canonize him as the second coming because of that meteorological miracle.
Very good summation of the Dem candidates or possible candidates.
.
No but he did see a doctor...
Biden is only a year younger than Sanders and Kerry only two years younger.
They could all be in the “VERY OLD” category.
.
Gore’s good luck has been as amazing as Obamas.
Al Gore cannot run... I’ve seen pictures of his fat*** in the last few years. He’d be lucky to walk without getting stuck between stuff.
I wonder if 25 foot golden and naked statues come with de-icing systems or if thats added cost... Because a Gore presidency would usher in the Ice Age and well...you know...
Shrinkage.
We need to have heaters thrown in.
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
LARGE heaters...
All hail the month of the long knives!
Et tu, Al Gore?
