COUNTING EVERY READER

Al Gore is said by associates to be surprised that his newest books on family aren't selling well. The pair of books co-written with wife Tipper Gore (one of them is a coffee-table book intended to serve as companion to the "heavier" tome) are apparently headed toward the remainder bin as bookstores move more popular and potential Christmas gift fare into the line of sight of customers.

"We aren't selling any," says a sales associate for Borders Books in Bethesda, Maryland. "And we thought given that this is kind of a political book and that it's by Gore that it would sell in this area."

It hasn't worked out that way. The audiences at Gore's book signings have been skimpy, and worse, those that do come to hear him haven't been buying the books. In San Francisco, Gore's appearances were met by crowds of people apparently rounded up by his former Northern California presidential campaign staff. "We were invited to come and cheer him on," says a former volunteer. "We were chanting, 'Gore in 2004,' and he loved it. But I wasn't going to buy the book."

The Gore books haven't yet cracked the New York Times bestseller list after more than three weeks in stores, an indication that it won't make the list. "They tried getting them [The Sunday New York Times Book Review] to list it as a book in the 'Bear in Mind' section, so at least it would make the page where the bestseller list is placed, but we couldn't even get that," says a former Gore aide. "It's another indication the public isn't buying Gore as a serious candidate in 2004."

The Prowler won't go so far. We see it as an indication that the American public is still in recovery from Earth in the Balance.

Gore is like yesterday's trash.

This is what a Gore run in 2004 will look like, too.

[KQQL]

Al is not poor...he's a bore.

[KQQL]

I guess lefty liberals don't buy books.

ROTFLMAO

Apparently, it's is easier to buy voters than it is to motivate buyers.

"We were chanting, 'Gore in 2004,' and he loved it. But I wasn't going to buy the book."

They may have been chanting "Gore in 2004" but I ain't buyin' that either!

Well he can always follow the example set by William Jennings Bryan and be a perpetual loser. I'm sure that the Rat party would keep throwing their support to him (snicker...).

[BunnySlippers]

It's 1,928 on the Amazon List. But be prepared to upchuck at the 6 star reviews given by True Gorons ... one even called it an "important book". Ha!

[Cultural Jihad]

It seems like it was a marketing flop. Gore's supporters would never buy a book which honors the family they despise, while those who honor the institution of the family would never buy a book from Gore they despise.

Al should have written a self help book and followed it.He could use some help.

[Travis McGee]

And his crummy books have been touted to the heavens on every national network morning show ad nauseum! What book tour ever had such a fawning network television red carpet rolled out, day after barf alert day?

Compare Algore's invisible sales to the mega sales of Coulter, Goldberg and Hannity which had only negative reviews on network TV. It just shows how irrelelvent lamestream network televsion is becoming to politics compared to radio, the internet, and FOX.

First exit poll of the 2004 presidential season. I'd say the verdict on the Gorebatross is in. Not even the liberals want him as the Democratic Party nominee.

[Samwise]

I surfed by C-SPAN the other day while they were covering a booking signing at a bookstore. I saw an old lady put a piece of paper in front of Gore and ask him to sign it. I chuckled then, too.

[weegee]

I can't wait for Mrs. Bill Clinton to write her $8million book so I can avoid buying it also.

[Mo1]

I guess lefty liberals don't buy books.

My mother inlaw is a liberal and is always getting on my case for buying books

She says I should go to the library and get them for free .. LOL

And you're right .. Gore is a Bore

[MTCJK]

I once knew a man named Gore
Who was an incredible bore
Said his wife to a tree
You're more exciting than he
But he stuck his tongue down her throat on national tv and she changed her mind

[KQQL]

I bet AL BORE will say
....
Rush and the right wing...are stopping his books from being sold.......
