Same old Gore

A loser by any other name is still a loser.
A loser is a loser is a loser.

[Izzy Dunne]

Run, Al, Run !!!

[Ciexyz]

Go hug a tree, Al, you'll feel better.

[Young Werther]

What does a loser do. In Al's case he's been reading his press clippings which rank him somewhere above Einstein, Newton, and Marilyn vos Savant in IQ! So there's no surprise that after almost 2 years of yearning that he should utter such nonsense.

Run Algore Run! Try that coast to coast thing again.

[glockmeister40]

All the other dems want algore to run in 2004. They know they dont stand a chance in hell of beating bush. After gore gets wiped out in 2004, he'll be dead politically. Big-thighs and the other dems have written off 2004 and are looking to 2008.

[The Electrician]

After reading this and other recent articles, I'm thinking of supporting Gore in the 2004 Democrat primary... Even if it means registering as a Democrat! What a loser - what a fantastic symbol of the Democrat party...

[glc1173@aol.com]

"Gore delivered an extraordinary explanation for why he is not president of the United States. He would "shed the constraint" on him imposed by consultants if he runs in 2004." (Townhall.com)

If he does that, Algore will lose Red Nation even worse than he did in 2000.

At least his consultants told him to shut up somewhat about his loony-left social-issues stances. Let's see him run again - emphasizing that he was the guy who wrote Earth In The Balance only 12 years earlier as a senator!

Algore in his own words, 1992-2000 - including Earth In The Balance

>> I'm thinking of supporting Gore in the 2004 Democrat primary... Even if it means registering as a Democrat! <<

What a conicidence...I was thinking ahead to the 2004 'RAT primaries as well. Almost of the big Republican offices I would normally be voting for in that election (President-Bush, Senator-Fitzgerald, etc.) will be running virtually unopposed, so why not mess around in some hotly contested 'RAT primaries? They screwed around with MY primaries in 2000 (McCain) and 2002 (trying to get RINO Corinne Wood for Illinois Governor)

You got the wrong idea with Al Gore though. Loser, but not a big enough loser. Think Sharpton. Man, if we could only get a few hundreds Republicans in every state to pull the level for him in the primary.... ;-)

[Eric in the Ozarks]

We lived in Minnesota when Jessie Ventura won a three-way race for governor...
One of the funniest lines delivered by the third place loser, Skip Humphrey (son of Hubert)was something like what Algore was saying, "maybe the public didn't get the message...they didn't get the real me."
Enough of us got the message, Al.

[Polybius]

Democratic despair is that Gore, relying mainly on name identification, may sweep through a foreshortened primary election schedule as a second-chance nominee who may repeat the failures of William Jennings Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson.

Where can I contribute to the Gore 2004 Campaign Fund?

[GBA]

If Algore runs, he will run against GWB, a popular wartime president. The Dems aren't likely to win, no matter who they choose to run against Bush. Why waste the reputation of someone they do believe will have a chance of winning the presidency until after Bush's last term is over.

The Republicans ran Dole against Clinton, perhaps for the same reason or more likely, because no one else in the Republican party was in position to run for the Republicans. Sad, as it meant 4 more years of Clinton mafia family.

In 2008, the real Democrat contender will step forward and the Republicans would do well to have someone in the que to fight the good fight. But in 2004, Gore is the throw away. If he does well, great (for them, bad for the country). If he doesn't, oh well... They have the built-in excuse of running against a popular war-time president.

Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Republicans don't screw up in these next few elections.

[Ditter]

How many electorial votes did gore lose by losing his home state? How many in Fla? Wouldn't wining Tenn have put him over the top?

[crystalk]

Gore would be a sacrificial lamb like Bob Dole, without the latter's wit and genuineness.

If Democrats can do no better than this in 04, they a really a lot more done for than we could have hoped, scraping the bottom of the barrel-(gut) for sure this time.

[glc1173@aol.com]

"Where can I contribute to the Gore 2004 Campaign Fund?"

Do what the Democrats fear much more - donate to the Greens Party, as it was the Greens' candidate (Nader) who siphoned off enough votes from Algore to help doom him:

Greens Party, Box 100, Blodgett Mills, NY, 13738

[PUGACHEV]

Yes, if Gore had won his own home state he would have beaten GWB even after a defeat in Fla; pathetic isn't it?

[Joe Boucher]

yes it would have put him over the top but he had become too liberal for his,"home state". Problem is Tennessee has never been his home. He has always been a washington resident except on vacation and holiday.

There had been rumor that he and the seriously fat and ugly broad he is married to had bought a Bar-B-Que restaurant. I think he should have made good on that rumor. There again is a problem because we all know he couldn't make a go of anything without gubmnt assistance.

[Hugin]

Wouldn't wining Tenn have put him over the top?

Yep. Winning any other state would have given him the 2 extra electoral votes he needed.

Now one thing I would love to see someone ask Gore about in light of his criticism of Bush's handling of the war is the report he was in charge of recommending changes in the airline industry. The original draft called for putting breach-proof doors on airliners. That was pulled from the report at the last minute, under heavy lobbying from the airline industry, and the week after the report came out they gave the DNC $100,000. In reality Algore could have prevented 9/11 but put campaign cash ahead of human lives. If Gore runs that should be the first campaign ad produced by his opponents. And if the other Dems don't use it, Bush should.

[Allegra]

Heeeeeyyy...great idea! I live in Texas where the '04 primary shouldn't be a problem. I can afford to go mess with the 'RAT primary. I like the way you think. :)

A loser is a loser is a loser

One original and 2 recounts. He's still a loser. (How many more recounts does he get to be a winner)? lol
