Former Vice President Al Gore has advice for John Kerry in Thursday night's presidential debate: attack President Bush's record.
Former Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole also offered his words for Bush: Stay on message.
The two losers of previous presidential contests offered their comments during a markedly relaxed discussion to a sold-out crowd at Southern Methodist University Tuesday. They even frequently punctuated their comments with humor.
"I am Al Gore. I used to be the next president of the United States of America," Gore said, opening the evening.
"I'm happy to report on President Clinton," Dole said, referring to his former rival. "When he went into the hospital I sent him an e-mail and I said, 'If you need a couple of pints of Republican blood let me know. You got most of it in '96 but I got a little left.'"
While the mood was light, College Republicans and College Democrats threw their own barbs at the former candidates earlier in the day at a student session, proving that partisanship crosses the generation gap.
"Did John Kerry teach you how to flip-flop, or did you learn that yourself?" one student asked Gore, seeking an explanation for Gore's agreeing that Saddam Hussein was a threat, but saying that the war in Iraq was a mistake.

Only in your own mind Al, only in your own mind.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I read here that Algore will be Kerry's debate advisor! LOL
One recommends viagra and the other says prozac.
I happened to be in the audience for last night's Gore & Dole debate at SMU. The biggest audience response occurred when Gore accused Bush of misleading Americans by connecting Saddam Hussein to 9-11. You could see people shaking their heads no, and then the audience began to shout out "No, No, No" It was pretty clear that the crowd did NOT believe that Gore accusation. Dole was delightful and extremely witty. Great night.

Lucky you. I just saw a clip of it on Fox News. Dole was really funny, wishing one of the students who apparently attacked Bush, limited success. I'll have to look for it on C-Span.
Leave the poitics to the Prez and he'll leave Viagra to you. sheesh.
