In other words, the Clintons called in their media support to take Gore out.

Michael Gawenda is an Australian journalist and was editor of The Age from 1997 to 2004.

He was born in a refugee camp in Austria following the Second World War. His family moved to Melbourne, Australia in 1949, where he attended state school and high school. He studied economics and politics at university.[1]

He started his career in 1970, joining The Age as a cadet journalist. In 1997 he became editor and in 2003 editor-in-chief. During this time he became the subject of controversy when he rejected a Michael Leunig cartoon which compared the view that peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be achieved through military means with the Nazi slogan on the gates of Auschwitz, "Arbeit macht frei" (Work makes you free). He said that "I think it’s just inappropriate. Anyone seeing that cartoon would think it inappropriate."[2]

Gawenda has two children, Evie (1975-) and Chaskiel (1980-). Gawenda is the uncle of television producer and former senior football (soccer) player Harvey Silver. [1]

What will doom him in November 2008 his that, like John Kerry, he is far to the left of the average voter.

Maybe he's hoping Hillary will take out Obama and then his "woodenness" can come in and win. It's hard to get my head around this but it's not outside the realm of possibility.

I am willing to bet the Democrats heaved a sigh of relief long ago when the twice buried candidate uttered the immortal phrase, "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more."

It says right here the Gore threat is quite real. About the only thing we have going for us is the support bordering on worship Gore engenders in Hollywood. I think a significant block of middle America finds Hollywood almost beneath contempt.

A lot of people like morons. They're so much easier to direct.

That's still one of the most disgusting PDAs that I've ever witnessed.

Ugh. As if we needed any more proof that Presidential politics is nothing but a beauty contest. As I recall, William H. Taft was a widebody.

Gore will publish a book... The Assault on Reason: How the Politics of Fear, Secrecy and Blind Faith Subvert Wise Decision Making, Degrade Our Democracy and Put Our Country and Our World at Peril

Is this an expose of past dem scare tactics? The Club of Rome -- The Population Bomb -- Welfare mothers starving in the streets -- Old people eating dog food? Global Warming?

Is Gore dropping "sky's falling" tactics and writing a book about it? Is it true?

It might be best for Hillary not to open the weight issues to all that much scrutiny. Apparently Wolfson Carville and the Forehead have not taken a hard look at her from behind, lately. They do not want to go there I think.

"What will doom him (Gore) in November 2008 his that, like John Kerry, he is far to the left of the average voter."

A few things have changed.

1. The 2006 elections reflect possible shifts, away from Republicans--who they may blame for Iraq misadventures.

2. Gore/Kerry didn't lose by much. Unlike any of the others, Gore was NOT in office during any of the 9/11/2001 or Iraq politics and wars. He will be free to adopt his position based on the latest situation, unharmed by previous votes, etc.

3. Bush is so unpopular he is of no help.

4. Probable lack of Republican unity, regardless of who their candidate is.

a. "True Conservative" threats to not support Rudy, John, Mitt or Newt for all the previously listed shortcomings.

b. Loss of centrist Republicans/Independents if GOP candidate is viewed as "Right Wing."

Bottom Line: 2008 is no cakewalk for the Republican Party (stupid party sometimes)

I personally dislike Al Gore. Yet I can see him emerging as a very strong candidate. Like Nixon in 1968. Maybe Gore will have a "secret plan" to end the muslim problems.

Polls show Americans are now prepared to elect a woman president or a black president, but not a fat president

They obviously have not seen Hillary's lower half

How could you miss it.

I thought this was gonna be an onion-like piece, but instead the guy really, really, likes Gore. Every ounce of him.
