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".
To be brief, no Dem will win in 2008 because America simply won't elect an a$$hole to the office of the President.
"...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."
I was wondering when someone was going to realize that. I thought the same thing earlier.
