I think Bill and Hitlery tapped Gore in 1992 because he was dumb, and he wouldn't make waves. Aside from breaking tie votes in the senate, what did Gore do for eight years? Mostly dialing for dollars, and acting as a bagman for the Russians and Buddhist monks. He was low-profile, and never competed with the klintons in the glamor department.
Heck, the klintons hand-picked Gore as their successor, because he would be easily controlled. All the dirty election tricks in Florida was done by the klintons. Al had already conceded when he received a page from the White House telling him to un-concede and await further instructions.
It's really funny watching the democRAT nobodies like Gore and Dashole pretend like they're competing for the nomination in 1992. The klintons have their FBI files, too. Any wannabe who gets out of line can be given the insider's tour of Ft Marcy Park, too.
The democRAT candidate in 2004 will either be Hitlery, or someone hand-picked by the klintons to be the false front that Gore would have been.
I think there is some truth to this.
But with the exception of Carol Mosley Braun, whom I think is a special case, there has never been any Senator that I can recall who approached the level Al Gore seems to have settled at as Vice President and Candidate. I thought about the other Tennessee Senators: Baker, Sasser ( I know Rush has a good time with him, but any comparison with Gore is really unfair.) and Thompson. Maybe they aren't all giants but they're none are mental midgets either.
This has to be some sort of a screen play.
