Al Gore is having a hard enough time convincing Democratic Party leaders that he deserves another shot at the presidency in 2004. But now he may be having trouble where it really counts: with his moneymen. The latest setback comes from Jonathan Tisch, the New York City hotelier who has generously backed Gore causes since 1988, giving the Democratic Party $325,000 during Gore's 2000 presidential bid. Sources tell Time that Tisch recently informed Gore he's uncommitted for 2004. That might not sound like a rebuff, but considering Tisch's previously unwavering support for Gore, Democratic insiders were stunned.
Tisch was just one of several Gore loyalists missing from Gore's June "donor retreat" in Memphis, Tenn. Also awol were all but a few Democratic patrons from the key campaign-money centers of Hollywood and New York City. Now, with Tisch's refusal to commit to Gore, the former Veep may have more trouble than he ever imagined raising the $30 million-plus he will need to compete against a crowded—and to date well-financed—field of candidates in the Democratic primaries.
Spokesmen for Gore and Tisch refused to discuss private talks between the two. Democratic elders say Gore still has time to catch up in the race for dollars. For now, though, it seems far from his mind. In New York City recently, Gore had lunch at Tisch's Regency Hotel. His old friend was there too—dining with someone else.
After all, if Global Crossing were in trouble, we would hear all about it on the front pages, wouldn't we? Like we heard all about Enron and Worldcom when the pressRats thought they could nail Republicans for them.
No way. Hillary won't run against Bush, because she knows she would lose big-time. She'll run for re-election in 2006, then run for President in 2008.
I think you are right on. In fact, I would guess that due to her party affiliation and anatomy she has a better than even chance of becoming the Comander and Chief of all of our Armed Forces. Think about that for a while before you go to sleep tonight. Hillary Clinton, Commander and Chief. Scary, huh?
No way? Wrong!!!!!! She is running in EVERYWAY.
Funny how people always think the candidates are running for the Presidential nomination exclusively. If Hillary seeks the presidential nomination in 2004 she will also be running for the Vice Presidential slot. In fact the VEEP slot is likely to be her real objective. She has to try to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Lossing as the VP candidate doesn't tarnish her viability as the Presidential candidate in 2008, it enhances it and it eliminates the possibility of someone besides Hillary from becoming the front runner for the Democratic Party nomination in 2008.
I just love it when DemocRATS throw money at a problem that will never get fixed.
Two mutually incompatible activities, there.
His total lack of a sense of humor...plus the fact that he feels the need to take four or five baths a day...is very telling. I wouldn't support him if he were a Reagan republican! I don't think he's evil, but he ain't playing with a full deck.
