First that I heard that Gore's frisking at the airport was the work of an ultra-right-winger...but it obviously makes sense.

Lieberman may be right of center in the Democratic Party, but he is left of center overall, compared to the public at large. Does the author really think that having a second hard-left candidate on the ticket in 2000 would have gained more votes than the ticket would have lost?

One important difference between 1968 and 2008 is that Nixon didn't have to worry about Hillary.

"The Democratic Party has the opportunity to nominate a candidate who has the right stuff and someone who could go down in history as a rare statesman-president. The Democrats would be foolish not to recognize such potential in a candidate."

Should be repeated early and often. Run, Al! Run! ;)

This author is delusional. But, that's SOP for the GoreBots.

Difference is that Mr. Nixon was perhaps the best president we ever had when it comes to foreign affairs.
While Mr. algore is nucking futs.

Should Democrats nominate Al Gore as their 2008 presidential candidate?

We can only hope so.

[fish hawk]

I hope so, so that we can steal the election from him a second time. If it made him into a lunatic the first time, this should send him over the edge.

[Republican Wildcat]

Sounds good to me.

Gore has learned the hard way about the extreme right-wing that now dominates the Republican Party.

Who says the Left has no sense of humor? The Republican Party is dominated by its left wing, while we on the Right are outside looking in.

Gore understands how the Bush administration and the Republican Party have destroyed the America in which the vast majority of citizens once believed.

Yes, he and his Lefty buddies understand it. Their ideology is why it's circling the bowl.

And that gives Gore a unique perspective on matters of war and peace, civil liberties opposed to totalitarian rule, and a caring and service-oriented government as opposed to a detached bureaucracy only interested in lining the pockets of big business and political cronies.

Right again. Gore certainly knows about bureaucracies lining the pockets of political cronies. Can you say Marc Rich, the Chinese, et al, ad nauseum?

a caring and service-oriented government

I get that warm and fuzzy feeling every time I go to the driver's license office to get mine renewed. Government employees who are tuned to satisfying my every want and need.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Al Gore ain't no Richard Nixon.

How pathetic is THAT?
