Obama and Gore: the dream ticket
National Post ^ | 3/7/08 | Diane Francis

Posted on 03/07/2008 11:12:53 AM PST by pissant

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.

“with her dishonest “red phone” TV commercials which raised national security issues”

LOL... Yeah, real dishonest to suggest a president needs to be able to respond to an emergency at a moments notice. My goodness, these people truly have no shame.
