As Buchanan pointed out, Mr. Gore has been right on the war from the beginning. And unlike Barrack Obama, he has the experience to soothe the jangled nerves of Democratic party bosses. The Nation's John Nichols also pointed out that Gore has more experience in Washington than Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama and John Edwards combined. That may not mean much when things are calm across the globe but these are not normal times.
America is fighting a war on terror, watching Iraq devolve into a bloody civil war, sitting back while Iran gains nuclear weapons, acting defenseless to North Korea's nukes, watching as Afghanistan grows more unstable by the day, and praying to God that radicals don't kill Pakistan's military dictator lest we see Islamic radicals gain control of that country's nuclear missiles.
Is now really the time to put a guy with two years of foreign policy experience in the Oval Office?
That's the question Democratic activists have to be asking themselves tonight. If they think it through, they will have to conclude that Obama can't win a national defense debate against John McCain or Rudy Giuliani.
But Al Gore can.
............
2008 is looking like Al Gore's year.

Gore is a lunatic. He doesn't stand a chance.
Maybe he used to be.
We know that, but the sheeple don't. And all his lunatic rantings of the last 6+ years will get flushed down the memory hole by the MSM if he jumps in.
He doesn't stand a chance.
IMO, he stands the BEST chance of all the 'Rat candidates: Hillary, Obama, and Edwards included. In addition to being an anti-war moonbat since day 1, Gore stands for something (his global warming garbage) other than GWB-bashing. And he would create a 'giant sucking sound' of Hollyweird and Soros money being pulled out of the Hillary and Obama campaigns and into his. Not to mention that he has quite a bit of his own cash to spread around.
I've been saying it since the 2004 election: be very afraid of an Algore candidacy. If Iraq is still a major issue this time next year, he's a shoe-in. Mark my words ...
What happened to him?
I'll just add that if we see a reduction in his "gay lisp" during speeches, ... RUTROH!
Is there anything more funny than his southern-gay-robot speak?
pity you...........Joe is a traitorous POS who lies
I looked at your freeper web site. I apologize if that response was personal as you seem real and certainly honorable, however Joe Scarborough is a POS
Yes. His southern-gay-robot speak making a concession speech.
you probablly don't know this but a BUNCH cleared out when Gary Condit was "outted" as a party animal.Joe was one of em
It reminds people of the former "I'm going to explain this like you are a 5-year old" Gore.
I am beginning to think the Tennessee Center for Policy Research is a Hillary! front group.
Look at the Hillary! opponents who have self-immolated. Edwards giant house followed by Bloggergate. Biden's idiotic comments. Now Gore implodes.
Edward's Iowa stealth campaign, learned from Kerry? Too early. And while Edward's populism is attractive in Iowa, moonbat bloggers are not.
It leaves Obama and Richardson.
Hillary! tried to turn Geffen's comments against Obama, but it is not working, because everyone knows Geffen Spoke Truth to Power(tm). However, now with Charitygate, Hillary! seems to be struggling. And the rabid left does not like Hillary!
Hillary!s appeal to single women? That is for the general, not the primaries, especially the early primaries.
Flip-floppers and pompous asses are not going to be president. This is why Osama interests Democrats to begin with. He comes across as unassuming, and does not have enough of a record to be a flip-flopper.
I think Hillary!s campaign is coming off the rails.
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest an Obama/Richardson ticket will be the outcome of the Demonrats primary.
With an enthusiastic press machine behind them, they would be difficult to beat. They are both personable, articulate, and neither has much of a record to run against. They are pretty much a blank slate, they can be anything the Oprah watchers want them to be.
I agree with you. Gore is an embarrassing maniac, it wouldn't be long before people remembered that. Obama and Richardson are lightweights, but likeable.
Does Gore still hate the Clintons enough to do it? He'd be the perfect spoiler.
I don't think many Republicans have much of a memory. Al Gore barely lost to GW. Al has had time to study the landscape and pick his fights. In the public's eye...he didn't vote to approve of the war (but he couldn't have anyway)...but he has stuck by his guns from day one on...that he wasn't in favor of it. This is going to be one of the top three topics that run in his favor when he announces in November (after winning the Nobel peace prize).
This is a written script...the guy who played the outsider...waited and waited...and then surged to beat Hillary...then taking Obama as VP and sweeping across the US talking about bringing the country "together". McCain can't be Al...in debate...Al wins over him easily. Rudy has many issues throughout the south...and isn't going to be readily accepted. This is Al's race...and he will likely win unless the the conservatives get their act together.
I'm thinking eight years of Al...unless something drastic happens over the next 18 months. We had better put major effort into winning a majority in at least the senate.
I'm not laughing. I think Gore is even money with hillary for the nomination, and he is gaining whereas she is stagnant. He can ride his white environmental horse and avoid all the nasty infighting while she has a headache with Osamabama on her immediate left.
Next time you see your friend tell him a lot of mainstream conservatives think he's a jerkoff and a sell-out.
Nothing there I would disagree with, except that the average voter today is more worried about an ice floe in the arctic ocean than about a billion rabid moslem dogs snappping at our heels with nuclear teeth. Face it, if the muzzies are smart enough to hold off on another major attack for a few years, we have lost the "war on terror."
And that's the saddest of all, isn't it? That we may or may not be raising the earth's temperature by what - 1! degree every 50 years is more upsetting to a large segment of the populace than the idea that millions of potential splodydopes would willingly and happily kill every last one of us that wears a Crucifix or Star of David.
Run, Al, run!!!
Hillary vs. Al would be great theater.
