Those in the know are not counting former Vice President Al Gore out.

Al Gore is not out of politcs.

Folks who are close to him say that his opting out of the 2004 Presidential Campaign does not mean he would refuse the nomination.

About to sweat for it he wouldn't.

Just letting you in on what I know.

A clue of a wisp of an indication of an answer of how much coverage MetWest Executive Gore will get as he pops up across America with some regularity: A man described as 'Salons returning national correspondant' chatted up Mr. Gore at the Grappa Italian Cafe in Park City, Utah last week, and practically folled him into the men's room.

This could be one messy convention fight!

[proxy_user]

I wouldn't either. But they're not nominating either one of us.

HERE IS THE GORON GETTING READY TO ACCEPT THE NOMINATION OF THE LUNATIC LEFT/DARK SIDERS:

[Quilla]

Now when I hear Gore's name I can't help but envision him in a hot tub with a Lieberman look-a-like.

[basil]

Al Gore may not refuse the nomination--but I will refuse tovote for him--LOL!

Candidates who don't enter primaries don't win conventions anymore. In fact, the age of the brokered convention may be gone anyway, as both party bosses frontload the primaries in an attempt to quash any candidacy that is not nice and mainstream. So unless Gore jumps back and enters primaries I can hardly see how he can expect to get the delegates necessary to win.

What? Is this man Tipper's greatest rescue from mental illness? Give it up dude.

[ewing]

That is one disturbing image.

[ewing]

When is the last time we had a brokered convention?

[MEGoody]

Well, since Gore announced his intention not to run, I doubt the Dems are going to go begging. He's nothing but a cardboard cut out.

[ewing]

But there are so many candidates that it increases the chances of a brokered convention.

[ewing]

LOL!

[Grampa Dave]

You want to get really disturbed"

Just imagine this disturbing image being our President!

[G.Mason]

Well golly gee whizz!

Who wudda thunk?

[dead]

I know the Democratic Party is in pretty sad shape these days, but they cannot possibly be desperate enough to beg a milquetoast moron like Gore to represent them.

[Howlin]

LOL.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

At last. Cards turned face up.

[ewing]

He better lay off the snacks and get into Convention fighting shape!
