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.

That is what it is. What a complete fool he is.

[WIMom]

Don't forget 'smokes for votes' in Milwaukee, plus the university student voting multiple times.

The last time I saw Al Gore be Spontaneous was when he grabbed Tipper and threw a lip lock on her, He should stick to being a tree, he's better at that

[Consort]

If he really wants to be spontaneous, there's always Spontaneous Human Combustion.

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

and do for tennessee's democrats what he did for himself in tennessee during the 2000 election

[Rebelbase]

"He's about as spontaneous as a three-toed sloth."

LOL! WINNER!, WE HAVE A WINNER!

[KSCITYBOY]

When A guy like Gore says "let it rip" he's most likely talking about a fart. Al is gross!

Let's rock and or roll!

Gore 2004..(or any other member of that criminal enterprise known as the Democratic Party).......I think we'll be much busier than the last time. If you can imagine that.

[GulliverSwift]

Thanks. I just don't see Gore getting the nomination though I'm sure he'll try. *SIGH*

[Paul Atreides]

When Bubba says he's going to "let it rip", you can bet there is a woman somewhere who is putting ice on her lip.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Then there's always, "Dead Man Voting", and "Felons For Freedom'.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Al "let it rip" Gore

[Paul Atreides]

"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.

Appropriate, given that 100% of what comes out of his mouth is bullcrap.

[WIMom]

The dems are desperate, look for all sorts of negative campaigning, scare tactics and the usual bag of tricks. I'm surprised we haven't killed the old folks yet. We have to take back the senate, that's our main priority. It's a fight of good versus evil.

[Optimist]

He would let it rip and let the chips fall where they may

[He Rides A White Horse]

I wonder if he'll be able to capture that much sought after "Communist Party USA" endorsement.

Again.

[eddie willers]

I just don't see Gore getting the nomination though I'm sure he'll try. *SIGH*

Assuming that nothing drastic happens in the Bush administration, whoever runs will be cannon fodder...
May as well be Al (I'm not Smith) Gore.

[GulliverSwift]

Some political 'expert' was on a cable tv show this afternoon, commenting on Algore's retreat. He opined that the other Dem candidates are going to have to damage Gore,in order for anyone else to have a chance, as he is the front runner. Let the games begin!!

It gets better, too since all this infighting will damage the eventual nominee and make it even harder to run against gwb. I hope Al Sharpton is a strong presense at the convention :->

Looks like America's loser is back with a vengeance.
