Dick Morris: Look out, here comes Al Gore

Like a completely refurbished pre-owned vehicle, Al Gore seems to be positioning himself to Hillary Clintons left and as greener than John Kerry for a run at the 2008 Democratic nomination for president. His slogan might well read reelect Al Gore.
The former vice presidents slashing attacks on the administration and his stalwart, if misguided, opposition to the Iraq war leave him without the complications and complexes that will devil Clinton as she seeks to appeal to the unforgiving left of the Democratic Party.
And Gore may be a man whose time has come in his party. It was he who warned of climate change and predicted its consequences. Hurricane Katrina was just a fulfillment of the prophesies Gore wrote about in his late-1980s book Earth in the Balance. He has been an energy-conservation nut for years, and his obsessions with alternatives to oil will play better and better as we come to realize how our addiction to oil has led us to dependency on the dealers of this particular drug Iran, the Saudi royal family and Hugo Chavez.
-snip-
But Gore has three things going for him: A perception that he was robbed of the White House and Hillarys possible stubbornness in continuing to back the war.
The third thing? The weather. As the evidence of global climate change impresses everyone who doesnt work at the White House, Gore looks more and more like a man whose time may have come.

Morris can't be very intelligent as he swallows the "global warming" BS.

There is no doubt that Gore will run. And I could not be happier.

Hurricane Katrina was just a fulfillment of the prophesies Gore wrote about in his late-1980s book Earth in the Balance.This is probably the single most idiotic sentence I have ever seen in a political analysis piece. Ever.

Dick Morris is becoming pathetic. He makes his living off of those three - 2 Clintons and a Gore. He's obsessed with them. Last night, I got a soliciting call from Dick Morris. It was a 1 minute tirade about how horrible Hillary was, then asked for money...
I told the lady, she's worse than he says (he said she was "practically a socialist"), she's a downright communist; but Dick Morris has deep enough pockets to fund his own PAC.

Al Gore? C'mon! I hope he does run. Kerry, Hillary, Gore, Biden... it will be a very entertaining primary. And when Gore loses again, it'll be really entertaining to see him give a concession speech the night of the election!

"Fruitcake" is one of my favorite words to describe anyone on the left (Never described as "the hard " or "the extreme " as Republicans or conservatives are commonly described in the so called MSM) and are there any two bigger fruitcakes ( the mother of ALL fruitcakes) than Gore and Dean? They are both absolutely INSANE. They're both scary.

Do you or anyone on this forum know who paid for Al Gore's trip to Saudi Arabia? I haven't heard.

I think the interesting battle to watch is Gore, Clinton, and Kerry. Gore has enough garbage on the Clinton's to last a lifetime. Will be interesting to watch the Dim's go at it...
