THE GORON PLANS HIS 2004 ATTACK ON AMERICA WHILE POSING AS A GREEN CANDIDATE!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

And yet there are some "real conservatives" around here who believe it would have been better for America had this walking, talking, grunt-shouting mass of dysfunction been elected POTUS. Then, you see, people would have been really sick of the Democrats (eight years of Clinton alone couldn't turn them off, I guess) and we could have gotten a real conservative in the White House, instead of President Bush.

Sometimes I read this board and just shake my head...

Expenditure of $1 million and a late campaign stop could not endear Gore to his fellow Tennesseeans.

I don't admire Gore because I read his book and concluded it was written by an idiot.

Meanwhile, those in Tennessee know him better; so I guess Gore has more strikes than being a simple idiot.

[Slyfox]

...the same old Gore, re-inventing himself.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting. Here is the worst advisor Gore had, by far, and I notice he has no plans to fire her:

The most influential adviser for 2000 figures to exert the same influence for 2004: Karenna Gore Schiff.

She is a young mother and a lawyer. She needs to spend time with her kids, and if she wants, to work as a lawyer. When she tries to "connect" with voters for Gore, she comes off so poorly all she does is ensure MORE voters won't vote for him. If she is again in charge, have no fear, Gore is a goner.

The "Tennesee Two by Four" can't be a Green candidate, as he is severely threatened by forest fires.

As a poet, I love the name "Gore"
It rhymes well with "bore" and with "snore"
There are more words I'm sure
Including one not so pure
But I'm nice and won't list any more!

I just can't help but wonder about people that would aline themselves with Gore, except those in his immediate family. I wonder what type of Government they really want running the US and heavily influencing the world. Gore is a loser! He has been for years. Besides, after all the "Alfa" stuff, the additonal question is, does he have all his bingo card numbers. Surely, his support comes from some "grass root type of "way out" beliefs, but I can't help but question how many really believe such to the tune of voting for the turkey?

Reminds me of Bob Dole. Had Bob Dole ran as Bob Dole in '96, the election may have been different. But Dole listened to one too many advisors, and never showed personality to the camera. Apparently Gore suffered from the same problem.

I'm not wishing Gore more success in '04, but he is right -- listening to too many advisors kills your campaign.

[IronJack]

He would "shed the constraint" on him imposed by consultants if he runs in 2004.

And do what?? Go shagadelic on us? Yeah, I can see it now. Party Man Gore, the with-it hep cat who knows how to groove, daddy-o.

He'd make Austin Powers look trendy.

Let Gore be Gore!

Assuming Al's assessment of his situation is correct and consultants lost the election for him, here are several questions that come to mind that you won't hear the media ask:

Who hired the stupid consultants?

Who took bad advice from stupid consultants and acted on it as if it were his own thinking?

Do we want a president who chooses stupid advisors and acts on bad advice without thinking?

No, I don't agree with the title of the article. The "new" Gore is considerably worse than the "old" Gore. I think he is perhaps a Dorian Grey type.
