Will Maria Shrivers ENORMUS COURAGE inspire Al Gore to speak up?
Or is he going to not use his momentum shifitng voice to endorse?

How far down on his knees do you think Bill Clinton got when he begged Al not to endorse Obama?

1. If Gore ever hopes to succeed with his enviro programs he had better do it
If he continues with his uppity disdain for petty politics in this election he wont have the goodwill from a potential President to help get some of his programs into law.

Seems like Al needs a course in networking to gain allies.

2. I was there! It was a jaw dropping moment in history

The crowd was electrified when Maria walked out on the stage after being introduced by Michele Obama!

People were excited beyond belief.

The Rally at UCLA was packed, well organized and so uplifting.

Young,middle age, all colors of the rainbow ~ all having the time of our lives dancing in our seats and making friends with everybody.

I've been to many political Rallies but this was magical.

3. Bill Would Only Do What Any Other Red-Blooded American Male Would Do
Edited on Sun Feb-03-08 08:54 PM by BeatleBoot
And that's kick that sissy Gore right in the nuts.

If Gore had any testosterone left in him, he would be in the race by now.

But he isn't. Maybe Al needs a hormone shot.

Bill doesn't he's a stud.

If Al endorses Obama (another loser like Kerry) then its a given that our entire party needs a shot of Testosterone.

4. Your admiration for Ms. Schwarzenegger is fascinating in that it's combined with
Edited on Sun Feb-03-08 09:49 PM by BleedingHeartPatriot
innuendo that Al Gore is less courageous than she and an allegorical flourish of Pres. Clinton "on his knees".

Jam packed freeper fun!

corrected OP, the game's not too bad, but distracting

6. I think using "down on his knees" and Bill in the same sentence
deserves a lock of its own. You need an extra O in enormous by the way. And if I were you, I'd hyphenate "momentum-shifting." Do they give locks for illiteracy?

10. She is the First Lady of California and her husband...
the Governor is a Republican who endorsed McCain....and the CA Primary is Tuesday. Oh, you're right, no courage there.

14. She's part of the Kennedy clan and endorsing a Dem isn't much of a shocker
It's an excellent endorsement, but enormous courage, not so much.

12. Ok, I just have to ask. Who cares what Maria Shriver says.
Edited on Sun Feb-03-08 09:17 PM by midnight
She married Arnold. She married a man who has no respect for women. She does not win any special attention or respect for her insight into others because of her shallow choice in this caveman.

18. I admire her for exactly the opposite reason
Here we have a woman, smart, rich and attractive that may.may not be in an abusive relationship.

That is exactly why I was so pleased that she was able to stand up for what she believes instead of what he tells her to believe.

On a personal level, I am supportive of all woman who are able to speak up and find their own voice.

GOMARIA!

19. I think Al has gone into hiding . I think he is wise not to endorse, although I'd welcome it warmly.

20. "ENORMOUS COURAGE"??
What are you talking about? Is Arnold going to divorce her and she'll only end up with half a billion dollars?

21. If by "speak up" you mean "announce his candidacy", then I sure hope
so, for all of our sakes.
