Dick Morris is scared stiff (more scared than we are) that Hillary would win the POTUS job -- he would be the first one shot.
After Bill Clinton won in 1992, London had an influx of Americans. I have a strange feeling history would repeat itself if Hillary won.

The only way Gore will run is if he is 100% sure he will win. He's not going to risk another loser run.
Al Gore is a loony. Why in the world would we want to encourage him? He belongs in an asylum next to the guy dressed as Napoleon.
My nightmare is coming true!
"ABH "anybody but Hillary" get elected. The former first lady's unique brand of transparently phony moderation, heartfelt inner socialism, Nixonian disregard for the norms of civilized politics and governance, and her well-documented tin ear on ethical issues make her the most dangerous aspirant for president"
What more can I say about HC? But PLEASE do not defame Nixon; compared to Clinton, he was forth right and a Gentleman. There are a few negatives among a lot of positives... for example... he declared "War on Cancer". That war is coming to fruition.
I do not condemn Nixon and I still like Joe McCarthy!
if Dick Morris said it, then the opposite is true... Al Gore stands no chance against Hillary...
Hillary will get the Democratic nomination, almost by acclimation. Yes Warner will present himself as an alternative. But it won't make the slightest difference. He is running for Veep.
The more she talks, the less I fear her.
He likes being at Sundance. He likes being at Cannes. He likes putting together documentaries and I think he liked teaching at the college. Gore doesn't deal with pressure well. At the end of the 2000 campaign, it was obvious he was sick of being told what to wear, to keep his weight down, being pumped with answers for debates, and being confrontational. He's not a confrontational man by nature. That's why he came off so badly when he tried to bully Bush in the first debate.
Gore might run again, because he detests Hillary. I don't think he's ever forgiven her for kneecapping him as much as she could in 2000. But at heart, he doesn't want to be president. He wants to do what he's doing now.
Isn't this the same toe sucker who declared that only Rice could stop Hillary?
"Hillary will get the Democratic nomination, almost by acclimation. Yes Warner will present himself as an alternative. But it won't make the slightest difference. He is running for Veep."
Perhaps, but I think that the Dems are so hungry for the White House that whoever ends up as the nominee will choose Obama as the VP running mate. I believe they think that choosing him will ensure a Democrat win.
If Morris is serious, then he needs to get his prognosticator retuned.
But if this is just a bit of agitprop, then great. Absolutely nothing would be more fun than another Gore run for the presidency, except maybe a Gore-Clinton Fight of the Century. That would be worth the price of admission.
Gore is dumb as a stick, and more than a little unbalanced. So I admit that the enjoyment would be a guilty pleasure, rather like pulling the legs off a caterpillar, or squeezing a grasshopper to make him "give tobacco".
Clinton, on the other hand, while she comes off as Macchiaveli, and she is pretty bright, she's also a bit unbalanced, and would not survive a brawl in the primary that would force her all over the map ideologically, as well as expose her inner self to the light of day.
No, she has Gore's FBI file too.
Neither the Hildabeast or Gore will be the nominee for the same reason, which is the albatross which is Bill Clinton around their neck. With Gore, the albatross is professional, with Mrs. Bill Clinton it is both professional AND personal. It is a negative that cannot be overcome.
And even if Bill Clinton were not a factor, Gore has totally sold out to the lunatic left, there are so many examples of his severe case of BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome), one of the best being when, with finger raised like an Old Testament prophet, he bellows (about Bush) "HE BETRAYED THIS COUNTRY!!!!" - all the GOP would have to do is to run that clip over and over and Gore would be finished.
As for Hillary? She will never make it through the primaries without a fatal political injury. She has NO experience in running as a national candidate where she cannot filter herself via her bully boys and girls who control what the media gets to report about the PIAPS, and her temper is so hair trigger that sooner or later Americans will conclude what the GOP's Mehlman already pointed out, that the junior Senator from New York is an "angry" person.
As for Kerry? No way. Too many Swift Boat Vets still out there, and they will never surrender, and after 2004 Kerry has a "loser" tattoo all over his forehead (it was always there, even back when he was serving in Vietnam, did you people know that he was in Vietnam? LOL) and it is even more visible now. Kerry is an abominable loser and America knows it.
As things stand right now, there are no 'Rat Governors who could deliver a hefty electoral chunk of votes from their states, and of all the 'Rat Senators, the only one who can possibly appear presidential is Joe Biden (as I see it).
And yet Biden would run into that same far left lunatic barrier constructed by the MoveOn.Org morons, and their shriekin, freakin' brethren the DUmmies. Chris Dodd of Connecticut? Not a chance.
If I were Howard Dean, I would be mentally preparing myself to jump off some tall building the day after Election Day 2008, because right now there is no way the 'Rats can win, they just don't have the starpower, nor the firepower.
The GOP has plenty of problems too, but they could win by default because "they're not Democrats".
But the income taxes....
BTW, did you do a replacement to FreeBritannia?
You've got less than 30 seconds and it has to get half the country.
