[gg188]

[gov_bean_ counter]

I guess the Harold Ford trial balloon got the helium taken out of it.

[GuillermoX]

The loser Gore's have always tried to be emulate their gods, Bill and Hill.

[kcvl]

Is EVERYONE from the Clinton years running for something? GAG! They are REALLY pushing my limits. LOL!(it's really not funny but what else can I do but laugh?)

[GAGOP]

Actually, I think this will tell whether AL will run for president again in 2004. I don't see any way she runs if Al's gonna run for president.

[pubmom]

No.

[kcvl]

Don't miss this one!

"One of the sources said Mrs. Gore was committed to public service and believed she owed it to herself to give some thought to a run."

...right. . .the arrogance of Liberal Humility. . .

. . .a big barf bump. . .

[let freedom sing]

Tippie,--

can new an tile her two?

[bourbon]

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Watching her run would almost be as hilarious as watching the Reno campaign in Fla. What a joke.

I'm in Nashville right now on a spring holiday, and I've seen at least 3 "Gore-free in Tennessee" stickers this week. The good people here hate the Gores so much that they've kept their anti-Gore stickers on their cars from 2000. Maybe it was that concession speech where Gore talked about "coming home to mend fences" that caused this?

[Semi Civil Servant]

Let's go out there and lose one for the Tipper.

Let's face it, the Gores never learned the fine art of stealing as well as the Clinton couple.

They need money to continue the lifestyle they became accustomed to when he was vice-president.

Al is hedging his bets. Since he doesn't know if he can nab the presidency or not, he's shoving the old lady forward to try to luck out with a remunerative senate seat. This would bring in at least six years guaranteed income, plus what they can steal after some lessons from the Clintons.

And Al wouldn't have to go back to teaching in some god-forsaken college.

Always follow the $$$$$'s.

Mrs. Gore is known for her interest in mental health issues. She said she became interested partly because her mother used to suffer from severe depression. And she said she herself was treated for clinical depression after her son, Albert III, then 6, was hit by a car in 1989 and nearly died.

One of Mrs. Gore's first forays into public life was in the 1980s when she persuaded the recording industry to label songs with explicit lyrics. She was accused of censorship. The late rock musician Frank Zappa called her a "cultural terrorist."

Emotions have since simmered to the point where the music business seems to have given her a break — something that could be important should she run for office in Tennessee, given that state's own music scene.

Bill Farmer, chairman of the Tennessee Democratic Party, said he had not heard that Mrs. Gore was considering running for Senate but said she would be a good candidate.

"Mrs. Gore has always been an outstanding campaigner and would be an asset to any office she might seek," Farmer said. "She's friendly and people like her, and she has a broad knowledge of the issues that face our state and our nation."

Former Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander (news - web sites), a Republican, said he would seek the Senate seat. He has high name recognition in the state, and Farmer said Democrats would be helped by having a candidate who also is well known.

Republican Rep. Ed Bryant (news) also is running for Thompson's seat.

On the Democratic side, Reps. Harold Ford Jr. and Bob Clement are considering running.

The Gores married in 1970 and have four children.

Associated Press writers Ron Fournier, Sandra Sobieraj and Will Lester contributed to this report.

When I heard this on the tube (while I was making some popcorn with real butter, thank you very much), my head whipped around so fast I think I sprained my neck. I first said, "TIPPER????" The next thing I said was, "BWAHAHAHAHA!"

Thanks--I needed a good laugh at the end of the day.
