Promoted from blogs, with a notation: this must be the single silliest suggestion that we have seen so far from the Democratic Party on how to solve their primary problem. I mean. Really. They want to take the nomination away from the first female / African-American mainstream candidate for President, and give it to an old white guy?

John Zogby, the pollster who runs Zogby International, said today on the Hannity Radio Program that there are rumors that top ranking Democrats are talking about having Obama give his delegates to Al Gore. He said Obama would have to offer these delegates since he's in the lead and the thinking seems to be that Gore will have more appeal to white male voters and that Gore will likely be able to hold on to the support of Clinton supporters since these are core Democratic voters. He said that Hillary and Obama would be given either the VP position, high-level Cabinet positions, or the Senate Majority position or something along those lines in order to make their voters happy.

Zogby's polling is very good but his verbal predictions have been way off sometimes (like with the 2004 election). Scott Rasmussen, also on the show, seemed a bit skeptical that it would work given the historic nature of this race of having the first black or first female President. This may be true because Zogby, as far as I know, has a lot of connections to the Democratic Party and either way, it seems like the Democratic Party is not that concerned with disenfranchising some Democratic voters anyway. He said that if this battle b/n Obama and Hillary goes on, which it probably will, that this is the one thing that can save the party. It sounds crazy but the GOP needs to keep their eyes open for this one.

1. I'll take the information with the appropriate bucket of salt, given its source...

I fail to see why Obama would do this, given he's won in all but formality.

2. I doubt this.

I love Gore, but he needed to announce and do the work if he wanted the delegates.

5. ha! I've been thinking this... Hillary has already advocated for giving Gore the nomination

Hillary has been promoting for weeks that the elected pledged delegate majority should not be the deciding factor in choosing the nominee, and that the superdelegates should use their best judgment to insure that the Democratic nominee chosen is the most electable in November.

On those grounds, The Hillary Rules, should Obama shift all his pledged delegates to Al Gore (with the understanding that Obama would be the VP) a sufficient number of superdelegates may certainly vote for the most electable GE candidate, Al Gore.

Gore/Obama 2008!!!

6. Anybody else remember the movie Gross Pointe Blank?

The scene where Minnie Driver looks at John Cusack and goes,

"Whaaaackoooo"

?

7. I think he may be right, Hill and Obama voters and posters have lost it for both
