Dick Morris Thinks Al Gore Can Win Presidency In 2008.

[mwfsu84]

Just watched Dick Morris on the O' Reilly Factor tonight. He thinks that if Al Gore does decide to run for president in 2008, he can win.

I don't think so.

Morris bases his opinion on the following rationale:

1. People now link the import of Middle East oil with the empowering of terrorists.

2. The Reagan Democrats who voted for Reagan and Bush in 04 did so because both Republicans promised to cut taxes. They'll vote for Gore...according to Morris...because he'll promise to lower gas prices.

3. He thinks the fact that Gore carried the popular vote in 2000 still means something.

First, Bush isn't running in 2008.

Second, environmental policies have played a major role in price increases. We have major gas desposits in the Gulf Coast and oil deposits in ANWAR - but we're forbidden to drill there. We have fewer refineries now than ever - because of environmental regulations. Why Bush hasn't brought this up is a mystery to me, but it's infuriating.

Under a president Al Gore, the US would sign the Koyoto Agreement. That will send gas prices through the roof.

And why would the Reagan Democrats vote for someone who for sure will raise their taxes and gas prices?

Finally, the world has changed since 2000. Al Gore hasn't.

Voter turn out for those who vote Republican might not be quite so good as it was last time. Bush has done the Democrats a huge favor in that he has alienated a large part of the base. Can you say "boarder" or "Scheivo"?

Every time I hear him talking on Hannity, I turn the station.

Every time I hear Hannity, I do the same.

[Coldwater Creek]

I am a Regan Democrat that voted for Al Gore for senator twice. Dick Morris is loonier than a bed bug if he thinks that I or any other Reagan Democrat would ever vote for the fool again.

BTW, what will be his home state? It sure won't be Tenn.

[Fruitbat]

That's good news, cause if Dick Morris told me it was sunny, I would bring an umbrella.

LOL No doubt.

Dick Morris; before he dicks you.....

[hardworking]

I remember clearly when they all said Nixon was finished, washed up, a loser never to be heard from again....and he came back. Never underestimate how circumstances can just line up sometimes, namely - (1) Hillary is unelectable (2) The GOP will nominate a putz (3) Al-gore is a 'cinema hero' to a young generation of voters (4) Compared to the Clintons, Al and Tipper look down-right normal (5) Everybody loves a 'Seabiscuit' story

Al Gore Can Win Presidency In 2008

If the Republicans run an organ grinder's monkey.

[Das Outsider]

He's the man who invented the Internet.

Whoa, whoa--hold on a second. The Inter-what?

[dfwgator]

He's the man who invented the Internet

And Bill Clinton invented porn on the Internet.

As for ANWR - I thought the President just signed legislation a short time ago - TO DRILL IN ANWR ..??

Did I get that wrong ..??

Dick Morris for Democratic Candidate for President!

[ He thinks that if Al Gore does decide to run for president in 2008, he can win. ]

If he runs against Hillary (in the primarys) he will have a heart attack or die of a stupid accident which will surpise NO ONE...

[CyberAnt]

Wow! You must have been reading my mind.

If these people think Hillary is going to stand still and let this bozo steal her moment in the sun .. they have another think coming.

But .. I do recall Dickey saying Hillary was going to win. This guy jumps on any bandwagon that appears to be going somewhere that might offer him a job. Cannot stand Dickey and I don't trust anything he says.

One of the little pieces of info the media will never tell you is that after the 2000 election, repubs went in droves to the registrar's offices and registered to vote. The dems have killed off their voter margin with abortion.

I pessimistically predict that the Dixie Chicks will have more influence on the 2008 election than Alan Keyes and Steve Forbes combined.

Don't forget those astute political commentors, Jay Leno and David Letterman.

[Cosmo]

Algore's self-effacing makeover has as much sway over his political future as did Bob Dole's.

[SuziQ]

You know the drill.

[zerosix]

"Dick Morris thinks." Wow, what a headline that would be.

[F.J. Mitchell]

LOL! Dick Morris has ingested too much Desinex.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

In the final analysis, Morris is right about this. America is just about dumb enough to elect this man President.

I sure hope the islamists find another enemy by then. Otherwise, we're screwed.

[des]

I think you are right on. He hates Hillary so much, he is trying to convince the Dems that Gore is the better candidate. I hope they buy it.
