>>"I’ve seen him on television. He’s a little like President Clinton. He likes people; he knows how to relate to people.<<
Wrong. He comes across in an awkward manner, with nothing in common with the average joe. Not quite as bad as John F*cking Kerry, but it's apparent he knows NOTHING about the average non-Democrat American family.

["Running for president is like having sex,” Carville said. "You don’t do it once and forget about it. You want to do it again.]

Since losers, in the democrat party, are such exalted fiqures, that statement should have read: "Running for president and losing is like having sex "You don’t do it once and forget about it. You want to do it again".

"If I was a longshot bettor, I might put two dollars on the nose on him,” Carville said. "I’ve seen him on television. He’s a little like President Clinton. He likes people; he knows how to relate to people. His father was a preacher. He can talk the talk. I’m impressed with this guy’s political skills.”

Is he saying his father (Al Gore, Sr.) was a preacher in the way that people say that someone is a devil?
Albert Gore, Sr. The son of farmers Allen Gore and Margie Denny, Gore was born in Granville, Tennessee. He attended public school and graduated from the State Teachers' College in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (now Middle Tennessee State University), in 1932 and from the Nashville Y.M.C.A. Night Law School in 1936. He taught in the rural schools of Overton County, Tennessee, and his native Smith County (1926–1930).

He served as county superintendent of education of Smith County from 1932 to 1936, was admitted to the bar in 1936, and commenced practice in Carthage, Tennessee. After serving as Tennessee Commissioner of Labor from 1936 to 1937, he was elected as a Democrat to the 76th Congress in 1938, reelected to the two succeeding Congresses and served from January 3, 1939, until his resignation on December 4, 1944, to enter the U.S. Army. Re-elected to the 79th and to the three succeeding Congresses (January 3, 1945–January 3, 1953), he was not a candidate for re-election but was elected in 1952 to the U.S. Senate. In his 1952 election, he defeated six-term incumbent Kenneth McKellar. Gore's victory, coupled with that of Frank G. Clement for governor of Tennessee over incumbent Gordon Browning on the same day, is widely regarded as a major turning point in Tennessee political history and as marking the end of statewide influence for E. H. Crump, the Memphis political boss. Gore was re-elected in 1958 and again in 1964, and served from January 3, 1953, to January 3, 1971, after he lost reelection in 1970. In the Senate, he was chairman of the Special Committee on Attempts to Influence Senators during the 84th Congress.

After leaving Congress, he resumed the practice of law with Occidental Petroleum Company and became vice president and member of the board of directors, taught law at Vanderbilt University 1970-1972. He became chairman of Island Creek Coal Co., Lexington, Kentucky, in 1972, and in his last years operated an antiques store in Carthage. He died three weeks shy of his 91st birthday and is buried in Smith County Memorial Gardens in Carthage.
