Dick Morris: Look out, here comes Al Gore
Salem Statesman Journal ^ | March 2, 2006 | Dick Morris

Posted on 03/02/2006 8:24:23 AM PST by presidio9

Like a completely refurbished “pre-owned vehicle,” Al Gore seems to be positioning himself to Hillary Clinton’s 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 president’s 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 Hillary’s possible stubbornness in continuing to back the war.

The third thing? The weather. As the evidence of global climate change impresses everyone who doesn’t work at the White House, Gore looks more and more like a man whose time may have come.

Lets be honest here....if you are a southern Democrat...you just can't vote for Hillary. I'd make a guess that half the Democrats in the midwest and in the steel belt...don't want to vote for her either...so who will they vote for? Gore attracts southern Democrats still...there is the appeal of the guy even ten years later to what southern Democrats demand. I'm guessing that Gore will make a trip to Iowa this summer and test the waters. lets face facts...in Iowa...given a choice between Hillary or Al....I think over 30 percent will vote for Al. The question is...is that enough to win the primary?

Al hates Hillary....we know this from the various rumor-mills of the Clinton house. I think Al would love to take Hillary out of the Iowa primary...and make her work real hard to come back. The funny thing is that 2nd primary isn't exactly going to be strong Hillary stomping grounds either. And I don't think that Hillary can win there. This poses an interesting test...can Al generate enough momentium and take the first two primaries? One has to wonder if Bill secretly would prefer Al to win and take Hillary out of the picture. There is nothing for Bill to gain with Hillary in office, and her past attitude...trying to boss Bill around...might create a very untidy situation for Bill to stew in.

Little Dick Morris is almost always wrong. Let's hope algore runs and Little Dick is right this time and algore does run. How much fun would watching the rat's primaries be?

Algore is more and more resembling Ezra Pound, an American poet who was living in Italy before and during WW2. Before the war, Pound was a big fan of Mussolini's facism, and during the war, he was an anti-American, anti-semitic propagandist. After the war, he was captured by the U S Forces in Italy, and after a brief incarceration, he was committed to St. Elizabeth's, an insane asylum in Washington, DC. He was released after 12 years there. Is there a St. Elizabeth's moment in Algore's future?

St E's cant handle the type of psychosis algore exhibits. The only cure for an algore, Im afraid, is a frontal lobotomy..
