Gore Vows More Spontaneous Campaign

Gore Promises More Spontaneous, Less Restrained Campaign if He Runs for President in 2004

MEMPHIS, Tenn. June 29 — Al Gore told top Democratic fund-raisers Saturday that the party's 2000 campaign had too many consultants and that if he runs for president again he will speak from the heart and "let it rip."

The former vice president attended a weekend retreat with about 60 fund-raisers and Democratic Party activists from across the country.

Reporters were barred from the meetings, but aides and others said Gore promised a different kind of campaign than the Democrats ran in 2000, when he lost to George W. Bush.

Gore said that campaign had "too much strategy, too many consultants giving too much advice," said Chris Korge, a party fund-raiser from Miami.

"If he were to do this again ... he would not be so guarded. He would let it rip and let the chips fall where they may," Korge quoted Gore as saying.

Strategy sessions for this year's November elections were the main focus of the retreat.

In brief comments in a hotel hallway, Gore said he was "extremely encouraged by the level of enthusiasm ... that we're going to have a successful 2002 election."

He said that that encouragement also applied to his possible second run for the presidency.

"Well, sure, but I'm not addressing that decision this weekend and probably won't until after the first of the year," he said.

Gore said he "would spend more time speaking from the heart" on "the basic challenges of the country."

"We're at a time when very basic decisions have to be made about the direction of our country, and I don't think the American people want to see small tactical moves in one direction or another" by political candidates, he said.

Since the 2000 election, the former Tennessee congressman and senator has spent a lot of time in his home state, where he and wife Tipper recently bought a $2.3 million home in Belle Meade, an affluent community bordering Nashville.

Gore said he plans to campaign heavily in Tennessee for the state's Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate and governor.

If Gore is so smart why didn't he get his teeth and personality fixed?

I still use my Sore Loserman coffee mug, the large one!

Boy, the games those Demos played. Elections just a big charade. Guys like us, we would have paid. Those were the days.

Didn't want no commie state. All we did was wait and wait. Gee, our old desktops ran great. Those were the days. And you know who you were then, votes were counted again and again. Mister, we could use a man like Jimmy Baker again.

People seemed to be malcontent. Fifty dollars, a criminal sent. The polls were just a circus tent. Those were the days. Watch a little CNN spin, go to watch the Demos sin. Have yourself a dandy day that cost you everything. Tempers were short and counts too long. The Constitution for a song. I don't know just what went wrong. Those Were The Days.

What is this...the new AlGore version number 27 or what?
Sounds like he's finally found the image that will click with the American people.
"let it rip" Al.
So assertive! So alpha male.

He makes me sick.

Thats sweet !

My grand daughter came over today and insisted I hear a song on her newly purchased cd rom .

The most I got out of the 1st song was some guy claiming that he can change , oh I can change ..

" I'm a million different people from 1 day to the next " oh I can change ... on and on .

This really is rich ! My favourite was when he was a 'lil baby @27 years ole listening to the union song .

The only spontaneous thing I'd like to see from Al Gore is spontaneous combustion.

Clinton knew that Algore would say anything and do anything to acquire and maintain power.

Pretty much the qualification for anybody in the clinton administration.

This is the man-child, with unresolved father/son emotional issues, who strutted on his high-heeled shoes into GW's face at the beginning of the 2nd(?) 2000 debate. AlGore is weird and unfit to lead. AlGore is forever part of the criminal corruption of XXX42.

Is that a band-aid on little Algore's forehead? Bumps to the head as a child would explain a lot about him.

After all .. " he grew it " . " he sowed it " . " he shucked it " . " he farmed it " . " he howed it " . Albacore is a fallen chip ;).

Oh Al ... If you dont find any molecule of self respect inside of your core please run again .

Another nail in the deepest crevice of the left is always welcomed . Especially the self inflicted kind .

I wouldn’t put it past him to have his sweat glands removed. Hell he can lactate at will now. This may be the first tri-sexual human in history.

I guess this will be the newest form of Algore? When will the REAL Al stand up? (Does he even know how to stand without a prop?)
