Early Opinion Polls Look Bad for Gore

Al Gore keeps saying he has not decided whether to run for president again in 2004.

But a lot of Democratic voters have reached a decision on that matter, if a new CNN/USAToday/Gallup Poll has it right.

Asked whether the party's 2004 standard-bearer should again be Mr. Gore or "someone else," 66 percent of poll respondents said "someone else."

And there is more.

Two other new polls — by Bloomberg and Fox News/Opinion Dynamics — indicate that even if Mr. Gore should be renominated, he would lose again, by a ratio of more than two to one, if President Bush should again be the Republican nominee.

If they win, (God forbid), it gives her a clear shot at the #1 spot eight years later.

Eight years? More like eight minutes. And no one will have seen a thing. No suspects, no witnesses, he's gone, just like that. Osama did it.

Bill Clinton may be able to sell himself as a Dem in the middle but Hillary would never get away with it.

John Kerry can. I think he would be a formidable candidate if Bush is wounded. But so far Bush has been a total hunk.

I don't know, Torie. I think MA as the home state of a presidential candidate, and all my mind can come up with is: MA=LOSER

Well Dukakis got 47% of the two party vote with all kinds of liabilities, and Kerry is a much better politician than Dukakis, and more flexible and appealing.

Isn't Edwards too young to have served except maybe in a volunteer capacity?

I can't think of who else has a military background, off the top of my head. I think the nominee will be required somehow to have a military background, or else, forget it.

Dude, Hillary! She has the thighs of a miltary man! Plus she knows it all!

John Edwards did not serve.

All you need to know about John Edwards: plaintiff attorney.

After the farces when John Walker is tried and the whining "victims" of WTC go to court, this country will be SICK of trial attorneys.

She'll be 60 years old by then.

I really don't think she will run in 2004, but I think she will in 2008. Although, maybe she would run in the VP slot in 2004.

Re your post #29 -- Gee, I didn't even remember Dukasis getting that much of the vote. All I remember is that he seemed to lose every state save one or two.
