ALL WE ARE SAYING ... Is... Give... GORE... a... CHANCE!

[mdmc]

Perhaps Barack Obama has too much charm and too little experience.
Perhaps Hillary Clinton has too much experience and too little charm.

I could care less who wins, but I really wouldn't mind having a Dem majority, not just white house, in 2009.

SO LETS GIVE GORE A CHANCE. And please hope he no longer has Joementum.

Peace and low stress DU.

[Mabus]

1. Now that's something I'd love to see

I'd be excited about politics again.

[BuelahWitch]

31. Me too!

My first choice!

[msongs]

2. in a dream world there is always real hope. nt

[book_worm]

3. A Gore/Obama ticket would be unbeatable

But it will be either Obama or Clinton and the math says Obama.

[mdmc]

4. Any of the three with beat old Mac

Mac is stuck being closest to Bush - poor war planning, high gas prices, walk away forclosures, (and if SSA was privitized, people's "safety net" would be sinking with their home prices).

Mac won't be hard to beat, and I think any of these triangulators can do it.

[AndyTiedye]

7. But the MSM Says Mac is a "Maverick", So He Can Do No Wrong

and it appears that most people actually believe this :eyes:

This is going to be a very difficult election for us.

27. My coworker

My coworker keeps telling me he has a reputation as a decent human being. At one time, he might have merited that, at least a little. He's given up every scrap of decency in recent years, though. But, the meme is still out there.

[Apollo11]

5. Strongly agree!

But as Gore teaches us: politics, much like the earth's climate, is not always linear.

Sometimes you reach a tipping point, like if Hillary pulls ahead of Obama in the national polls, then a lot of the superdelegates will start moving in her direction. B-)

[trueblue2007]

18. A GORE/CLINTON ticket would sky rocket us to the sun!! UNBEATABLE!!

[ourbluenation]

25. but then we'd be dead, which you know, would make us very beatable. n/t

[DemBones DemBones]

34. Obama is a deal-breaker for me. I won't support him

for president or VP. He's a bald-faced liar who offers vague promises, says one thing to one crowd, the opposite to another. We've just had eight years of a guy like that.

And his wife is obnoxious to boot.

If Obama's on the ticket, I'll vote third party. Cynthia McKinney is my choice for Green Party nominee.

[melody]

6. Please gawd

THAT I would love to see.

[MercutioATC]

8. For the millionth time, GORE'S NOT RUNNING!

Nobody's failing to give him a chance except for himself...and it's his choice.

[Bigleaf]

12. That's correct but here is my hope.

I see Hillary realizing that she won't win the delegate war. I see her continuing to throw Obama under the bus (a la her & McCains experience vs Obamas 2002 speech which is utter Bullshit and a disgraceful thing to do) knowing that she can damage him so she gets another shot in 2012. If she is successful at doing this than I would hope Gore would jump into the race at that point and eventually send her packing.

[mdmc]

13. Why run when the SUPER-DELEGATES beg you along with the

party rank and file.

If HRC and BO and all the superdelegates are begging GORE to step in, I think he would consider it.

[Fox Mulder]

9. Sigh. If only this was a dream world.

[Cogito ergo doleo]

10. I wish....

[conscious evolution]

11. K & R

[rosesaylavee]

14. Gore on the Second Ballot at the Convention. If we are lucky.

Didn't really believe it was a possibility until last night. I hope we are not too bloodied by the convention to win the GE.

Thanks Hillary. Your selfishness and arrogance may cost us in November.

[Florida22ndDistrict]

15. I'm willing to give him a chance

I would vote for him again. I'm sure he would accept my vote unlike the current two contenders as well. I would probably vote for him on an absentee ballot this time around so that my vote for him could not be stolen as easily.

[theboss]

16. Perhaps I want to shoot myself in the face with a large calibre pistol

Perhaps the idea of Al Gore flying to the rescue at the last moment during a crisis that does not exist makes me want to firebomb a pet store.

36. Obama has not locked up the nomination when he needs 46% of the

remaining delegates to win.

As for bringing in "a white guy" to save the party, why not? What difference does it make who saves the party? Isn't saving the party the goal?

As a woman, I'd like to see a woman president, and as a progressive, I'd like to see a black president, but it's most important to beat McCain. Clinton and Obama are not the ones I'd like to see be the first woman and black but I can support her, grudgingly. I will not vote for Obama for any office, will vote third party instead.

We could have elected Hillary Clinton easily had Barack Obama not decided to let his ego override common sense and enter the race as a freshman Senator a year after he got to Washington. Now the party is divided and we may have to go to a third candidate to defeat McCain. Obama has served as a stalking horse for the GOP, whether deliberately or accidentally.

It's more important to win than to run a candidate who can't win just to show that we support the rights of women and blacks. It's a given that Democrats support human rights.

[anamandujano]

19. He hasn't done the grueling work of the primaries, so he doesn't deserve the nom.

[Sensitivity]

21. Gore/Obama would be the winner. But how

Do yo get to that before Hill smears destroy Obama as candidate by raising megatives am doubt

[Medusa]

22. It ain't happening

and I see it hear at least once a day on DU. GIVE IT UP PEOPLE!

[cali]

23. Fuck no. Hand someone who didn't put themselves out there the

nomination, and I won't even think about voting. Peace and low stress my ass. Nothing makes me angrier than this idiotic suggestion.

[Pastiche423]

24. He's always been my choice!

[wryter2000]

26. I'll give him more than a chance

I'll give him some of my money. But sadly, he's not going to do it. :cry:

[debbierlus]

28. I would vote for Gore in a New York mintue: both of our candidates are lousy

I'll take a do over. Paging Mr. Gore...calling Mr Gore...

Goracle...

Al?????

Mr Vice President & Mr. President?

Pretty please.

[ms liberty]

29. Oh, I so wish it were Al...n/t

[LisaL]

30. And what are you gonna do with Clinton and Obama?

I don't understand how Gore could be given a chance considering he did not run.
By the way, I supported Gore, but how in the world do you think it would be possible to give him a chance?

[AndyTiedye]

33. Clinton and Obama are Rapidly Destroying Any Chance They Had of Getting Elected

If this goes on until the convention, there is no way we can win the election with either of them.

[AndyTiedye]

32. DRAFT GORE!

We seem to be headed for a brokered convention and two broken candidates, if this keeps up until August. If that happens, what else CAN we do but draft Gore?!

[DemBones DemBones]

35. Gore could unify the party but should not have

either Obama or Clinton as VP nominee. We need to end the infighting and beat McCain.

I will not vote for any ticket with Obama on it. Many other Democrats share my belief that he would be a terrible choice for president or VP. Others won't vote for Clinton.

Ergo, we'd do best with two people on our ticket, neither of them Obama or Clinton.

I still think Clinton can beat McCain, and Obama can't, but I'd go with Gore and any decent VP nominee.

(Don't worry, Gore would never pick LIEberman again. "Burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice, shame on me.")

[mdmc]

37. Gore!

:kick:

[DesertRat]

38. President Gore!
