Al Gore is the Democrats' Best Hope
By Seth Swirsky
When you really think about the crop of Democratic candidates for president, it's clear that their best hope to win in 2008, is not even on the playing field. That current, non-candidate is Al Gore. He's the only one who can match the experience, accomplishments and gravitas of Rudy Giuliani and yet, the left ignores him.
Do Democrats think that nostalgia for the Clinton years will propel Hillary to the presidency? More likely, when voters remember the scandal-plagued, triangulating double-talk of both Clintons, they will be less likely to want to return to those years.
Barack Obama? In a world that has become more difficult to navigate, does the left think that a not-even-one term senator is the right person for the job? Against a person with Giuliani's credentials, it wouldn't even be close.
John Edwards? The one-term senator known more for the price of his haircuts, couldn't even carry his home state of North Carolina as the Vice Presidential nominee in 2004. But, somehow, in '08, he's going to beat Giuliani? I don't think so.
And then, there's Al Gore.
He served in the House of Representatives for eight years, followed by eight years as a U.S. senator, followed by eight years as Vice President of the United States. In 2000, as the Democratic nominee for president, he won the popular vote by a plurality. Oh yeah, in 2007, his movie won an Academy Award and he also won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Seems to me, his resume is more formidable than the top three current democratic candidates combined.........

LOL!
The biggest chuckle of all is that Swirsky is right. lol
I hope they are right because he ain’t running.
This morning’s Cleveland Plain Dealer has a front page article about Dennis The Menace thinkin’ he’s gonna pull off a surprise victory in NH!
Hah! There are times like these I feel a little sorry for Kookcinich.
“Best hope” isn’t saying much.
"...People are listening carefully to what I have to say, and when they hear what I have to say, they seem to like it."
WOW!!!
or republicans...
Don’t feel sorry for Cleveland’s “petite politician!” He’s as shrewd as they come! He ain’t crazy. He appeals to kinda outsider groups with his antics. But he knows how to pick groups that will donate to him, and for whom he doesn’t have to compete. They’re groups that won’t donate to more mainstream pols. So,,,, every couple of years, he gets to take his show on the road, and live it up! Crazy? No way!
if he’s their best hope, they have NONE.
Why does this guy think Rooty is a dead lock for the Nomination? I hate people that speculate.
Damned by faint praise.
WOW!!! is right, Smooth, mainstream? :)
Man, the Demorats are in worse trouble then I thought.
