The Stars Align: Al Gore, Democrat Nominee

Howard Dean raised $60 million on the Internet so I doubt Gore would have much problem with that, and that's not counting all the Silicon Valley fundraisers that he has ties with via his Apple and Google positions or his Hollywood support or what he would retain from his 2000 network.

Entertaining article.

You're right. Sen. Albert Gore Sr. was turned out of office by Tennesseans because he shifted to the left. This lesson was not lost on junior who was able to play the moderate most of his political life. After 2000 his true colors came out.

One explanation for Gore losing Tennessee in 2000 was that he took the state for granted and did not spend much time or money campaigning here. I think the greater factor was a political shift of the electorate that began in the '60's and was almost complete by 2000. This was the transition of conservative "Dixiecrat" Democrats into Republicans. This happened at a slower pace here than in other southern states. I live 12 miles from a TVA dam FDR built in the 1930's and that project, and other New Deal programs, made voters beholden for decades.

And when he loses miserably; it will surely be due to election fraud...

Do I really need a SARC Alert?

If we're stuck with a Democrat in 2008, better Gore than Hillary.

True. He's too dumb to cause too much damage. Besides, we'll have more fun beating him up.

[Cobra64]

What he needs is liberal moonbat Dem primary voters...

[Cobra64]

Liberal moonbat Dem primary voters couldn't even propel Howard Dean to victory over a Frankenstein-looking goofball in 2004.

It sure would be fun to watch Gore and Hillary duke it out, likely to be one of the nastiest nomination battles ever.

[Sunsong]

We can hope :-)

A simple question I have not seen asked of Mr Gore:


If global warming is such a big deal what did you do about it during your 8 years as VP?

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Don't count him out. Hillary is all over the place; Al has been consistent in his views, and he didn't have to vote on the Iraq war. He could be well positioned to make a Nixonian "Comeback".

Gore is promoting himself through the movie, "An Inconvenient Truth." He is giving three day training sessions on his power point program on Global Warming. Trainees then go into their communities and promote the showing of the movie in local libraries and school districts. The movie is creating a money stream to his political campaign. Michael Moore set the template for the use of propaganda films to generate political influence and money. The Global Warming issue is a Trojan Horse for commie-socialist politics.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Well, we all know how serial he is!

[jonrick46]

These exerpts appeared in the Tacoma News Tribune about Al Gore's training program:

The mother of a district high school student will show the film Sunday night. And at the end of the month, a volunteer trained by Gore’s organization, The Climate Project, will present the global warming slide show that Gore uses in the film.

Eickmeyer, who lives in Chimacum near Port Townsend, had just returned from three days of training on how to present Gore’s slide show.

He linked up with Federal Way resident Chris Carrel, who arranged to have Eickmeyer present his slide show at City Hall on Jan. 29.

Edwards is a "jackpot justice," slip 'n fall lawyer who made his fortune suing people. I think one of his bigger jackpots was a case where a little girl got stuck on a pool drain. Anyways, he then bought a Senate seat but coughed it up when he saw the writing on the wall that he was dead meat in his next election.

Now Edwards wants to be President and lead the Democrat Party's efforts to turn America into a Euro-style secular-socialist welfare state. You know - - make America as great as France. The end.

The same sniveling group of leftists.

[driftless2]

he'll definitely get one. That was determined as soon as he made the decision to make a doc about global warming. The same as anyone making a flick with a homosexual theme has a strong edge over anything else. It's not for nothing that most of the docs on my cable tv on-demand menu have homosexual or weird sex themes.

I bet you're right.
