Now that is interesting, to think that Gore might put himself in a position to be drafted instead of Hillary. This should be a fun election year.

Gotta love all this backstabbing amongs the Rats!!

There ain't gonna be no draft at the convention! Jeez!!

It's going to be a fun, and interesting election year! I have to admit, though, I was surprised at Gore endorsing Dean. When I read the first article about it, I thought it was a joke.

We sure have heard many theories - Hillary wants Dean to be nominated, so they'll realize their mistake and nominate her at the convention, Hillary wants a "loser" to run so Bush will win, and she will get the nod for 2008, or that Hillary and Bill want Clark to run, and she'll run as VP.

This is the exact take I had on Gore's endorsement. It hit me when I read the announcement would take place in Harlem.

After I read that it was easy to see how it laid out. I thought it was just to hold Dean's crazy supporters for 2008 but I can see how it plays for 2004.

Evening, kat.

Great post. (I love NewsMax!)
BUMP

Gore has quietly blamed Bill Clinton's scandal baggage as the main reason he lost to Bush in a razor-thin electoral margin in 2000.

Naturally. Instead of Gore's own drug money scandal baggage in his own family, that cost him his electoral victory in his own state, his home county, and hos own home precinct. Now wouldn't it be interesting if Gore's criminal baggage does damage to Dean's reputation too. Dean's secret records from his period as governor are bad enough, but connected to Gore family drug money ties, they could be really bad news for Dean. And I bet Hillary wouldn't mind spilling the beans in a New York minute.

Watch Gore's blundering cost the Dems yet another election....and offer reports of ties of Howard Dean to Fidel Castro via Gore and his drug money pals.

I keep hearing this, but I wonder if it is true. Are Bill and Hillary really backing Clark? I am confused, as I think the Clinton' s only back themselves, especially Hillary.

Good evening LH, and thank you.

(So do I)

>>A Gore-Dean ticket may sound crazy now, but it could be a real possibility by next summer. <<

Someone shoot me---I know I can't take this!!!

I knew it----It's going to be Dean-Gore.

I'd say I'm moving to Canada, but I hate them even more.

AARGH!!

The thinking is that Clark is running interference for them, just trying to keep the party divided until that day when Hillary chooses to unite it.

[McGavin999]

Oh, this is going to be very interesting. A war between Gore/Dean and the Clintons. They're going to be fighting for the soul (what's left of it) of the democrat party.

[kattracks]

By backing Clark the clintons hoped to stop Dean, whom they don't control. Dean is a real threat to them, so in effect, by backing Clark, the clintons are backing themselves.

[ladyinred]

Oh I see, lol, I think! My , my, those two are something.

[kattracks]

They're going to be fighting for the soul (what's left of it) of the democrat party.

Not to mention the $$$ of the democratic party, although hillary! seems to be making plans for another avenue of that $$$. Amricans Coming Together.

Somebody should slap Bill & Chillery.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

I just read something that made me look at this another way. On another thread the article talked about the Unions and Moveon.org coming to Gore and basically telling him to get on board before he gets left at the station.

If this is true [apparently Moveon.org is the only folks that have been willing to host (read pay for and fill the seats) his political speeches that last year] then it may have been Dean that chose the Harlem location as a slap at the Clintons, which if you think about it is an act that is more in line with his personality than Gore's.

[KellyAdmirer]

I think the author is wrong, the jockeying by Gore and Hillary is not for 2004 at all. It is and always has been all about 2008. I can only hope and pray that the Republicans come up with the best possible candidate then to stop them.

Is that you, Gordine?
