Could Al Gore Bankroll His Bid?

If you're wondering why, despite his denials, Al Gore remains the most talked about nonpresidential candidate, it's this: His friends think he's done so well in the private world that he could bankroll the start of his own 2008 bid. "If Al Gore wants to run, he will come with all the means necessary," says longtime ally Donna Brazile. "Al Gore is someone who can pull it off at half time,"she said. But he's got competing interests for his wallet: Friends say he also wants to expand his global climate change campaign.

1. Is Brazile his mouthpiece?
It seems to be her only function these days, making pronouncements about Al Gore.

3. The few times I've seen her
She didn't appear particularly well-informed, intelligent or willing to debunk RW lies spoken right to her face.

Al should be surrounding himself with people who are smart and give a damn about the country (dan the world).

Check out the biographies, you will see some very familiar names along side hers, such as Presidential candidate(?) Newt Gingrich.

Edited the link to go straight to Bio page.

7. I believe that position is self-appointed. Like Dick Morris and Hillary,
Ms. Brazile speaks for Al Gore because she used to know him.

5. I lost ALL respect for Donna Brazile
Edited on Mon Feb-26-07 10:24 AM by whereismyparty
when she wrote this op-ed piece for the WP after Katrina:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/16/AR2005091602167.html

The following quote from that article made me so MAD!!!!!:grr:

"On Thursday night President Bush spoke to the nation from my city. I am not a Republican. I did not vote for George W. Bush -- in fact, I worked pretty hard against him in 2000 and 2004. But on Thursday night, after watching him speak from the heart, I could not have been prouder of the president and the plan he outlined to empower those who lost everything and to rebuild the Gulf Coast."

Proud of George Bush after Katrina????? What planet does she live on???
