The Democrats are in trouble now that Hillary began to play hardball, and deploy the Politics of Fear, with her dishonest "red phone" TV commercials which raised national security issues and attacked Obama's lack of experience.
The commercials turned the tide in Ohio and Texas and were demographically targetted to older people who would recognize an old-fashioned handset plus one that was to represent the "hot line" -- or the phone link between the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War designed to avert nuclear catastrophe. It marked a shift from the Politics of Hope to McCain's Politics of Fear.
Obama's only choice as running mate
This means that the Democrats have only one dream ticket: Obama and Al Gore who is the only potential candidate with more national security experience, and world profile, than Republican John McCain. Without Gore as Obama's running mate, the party's continuing candidate contest will simply play into McCain's hands and turn the election into the Politics of Fear.
The facts are that neither Obama nor Hillary have as much experience as does McCain. Hillary has an experienced husband, but she never even had security clearance in the White House. No First Lady does and no First Lady, including Bill, should have be privy to national secrets and strategy sessions.
But Gore was privy to everything and therefore trumps McCain's experience which is, by comparison, minimal.

The “two-term” limit applies only to the President.
Bwahahahahaha. This would be the best news of the year for us.
Just think! The Goracle and Obamessiah! I’m going to hurl!
Except when he was out unloading used iced tea.
because it takes so much experience to break a tie vote in the senate
This would be my dream ticket. I beg you, do it.
Gore is a laughingstock, there isn’t a sillier person in politics today. I love watching him go off, OK, turn the sound down, but you have to admit the guy is a hoot.
Nanny Pelosi?.....
Just thinking of AlGore makes me laugh!
The guy is such a buffoon. Run Al Run!!!
“Obama as nominee is not likely to want a VP that will overshadow him or make him appear to be less than the extraordinarily brilliant unrivaled leader that he and his worshipers pretend that he is. That would be something of a conundrum for the Democrats to find someone to help the ticket and be just another empty suit.”
Sort of like having to go with the rutabaga so you don’t overshadow the brilliance of the turnip.
No, just a con man. But a successful one.
I'm gonna be in trouble for that one! heehee
Having spent 8 years playing second banana to Clinton why would Gore want to spend 8 more playing second banana to Obama?
Well said, but you gotta admit there are a lot of gullible idots in this country and they need fleecin'.
Al Gore is suffering from Lobal Warming (see the reddish tints on his lobe?) due to excessive caloric intake at the Faculty Club...
