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.

“Obama and Gore: the dream ticket”
More like “our worst nightmare”; as in “Goodbye United States of America”.
Any ticket with Osama Hussein Obama is a “nightmare” as well as a national disgrace.
Gore is not going to be second fiddle ever again.
No way Gore would be a VEEP again. His ego is waaaaaay to big to settle for that.

Yeah, somebody’s dreaming all right...
So...does that mean he's finally a successful politician?
Double post DOH!

Bullcrap!
Im not trying to be funny, but is it even legal to become VP again?
Makes about as much sense as Hillary asking Gore to be her Veep.
These two chuckleheads running America?....L.O.L.!
It’d be OK. The two term limit is on the presidency...
I don’t beleive that AlGore is eligible for VP. He already served two terms.
Ms Francis is off on several observations. The Saturday Night Live skit was more influencial than the goofy 3 a.m. commercial. The SNL skit embarrassed the Drive-By media into getting tougher on Obama.
Dream Ticket for GOP to beat!!! Although Gor already put his eight years in and in no way in hell is he going to play the second fiddle to anybody again.
Your priorities are all messed up. It is far more important to defeat RINO/traitor/Hillary Lover/immigrant hugging/elderly/not-Ron Paul/not-Mike Huckabee/temperamental John McCain than worry about such a nice middle of the road candidate as Barack Obama.
Besides, who cares if Obama gets a few Supreme Court appointments! Geez it's not like they would be there for life!
Gore is a god. A living divinity. A walking savior of mankind.
He don’t need no stinking vice presidency.
LOL!
