Mr. Gore: You Can Stop Hilary

[Sufficient Voice]

We believe in you! We will support you! You already are my president. Don't let CNN pundits decided the fate of our nation. We need someone like you who will stand up! Not someone who will play politics, while our country and our world suffers.

I know your life is good now, and it seems like a big risk. But take the chance! Even if running for president is a huge sacrifice. We all need to sacrifice now. The world needs your sacrifice!

The working poor without health insurance need your sacrifice. The wounded and dying in Iraq need your sacrifice. The millions of soon to be refugees worldwide (because of climate change and expanded war), need your sacrifice.

The time is now. Mr. Gore you are called to serve. Please turn and face the challenge.

1. Stop begging. He is not interested. He doesn't have the stomach

to campaign. The passion is gone.

Wake up and smell the coffee

You can drag a horse to water but you can't make him drink

[MonkeyFunk]

2. actually

polls show he wouldn't stop Clinton.

[RaleighNCDUer]

5. That might just change if he actually was running.

I believe it would.

But he won't.

[Kurovski]

7. Can he stop polls?

That would be sweet!

[MissDeeds]

21. Polls are meaningless

Just ask John Kerry.

[Kurovski]

27. You can get a real sampling if you want.

There are polls that are never released that tell the story.

I think they're called "insider polls".

But I'm tired and can hardly remember shit anymore.

Edit: I forgot to say: welcome to DU! :hi:

31. Actually, factually

he bested Hillary against Giuliani in the latest CNN poll.

Gore-Giuliani 52-46; Clinton-Giuliani 49-47.

[MonkeyFunk]

32. So?

The question at hand is stopping Clinton, not Giuliani.

He can't win the nomination, so your point is not only moot, it's dumb.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

34. So from a polling perspective

he's the best candidate even though undeclared.

Also, he would enter New Hampshire as the leader:

"Al Gore, however, could enter the race as the leader. When his name is added, Clinton loses more than a quarter of her support, while Gore is backed by 32 percent."

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0607/4692.html

So the reference to polling being bad Gore for Gore in a post above is silly, wouldn't you agree?

[MonkeyFunk]

39. That's a poll from June

a more recent poll shows Gore getting about 15% compared to Clinton's 43%.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

41. That poll is misleading because

it doesn't reflect the support Gore would receive if/when he declares.

Here's a very recent poll indicating Gore would receive a plurality (44%) of primary voters upon declaring.

3. hugh sacrifice?

[Sufficient Voice]

9. Well you see...

Running for President is exhausting (he knows that) and could embarrass him if he loses. Also a loss would hurt his international standing in some ways. So the sacrifice would be huge. You have to try to see it from his point of view. Still we all must realize that our lives don't belong to just us. It is our duty to do all we can to help one another in this life. I know Mr Gore knows this. I am just praying my simple message reaches him, to remind him.

[AlCzervik]

4. you might want to send that him, just sayin.

[Sufficient Voice]

6. I guess I hope he reads DU now and then.

[Kurovski]

16. You should send it to him.

I'm pretty damn sure he does not read DU. He's a busy guy.:-) Welcome to DU!

Office of the Honorable Al Gore
2100 West End Avenue
Suite 790
Nashville, Tennessee 37203

I wouldn't open the letter with a negative, though.

I think Mr. Gore is more interested in stopping Global Warming than Senator Clinton. If the two things happen to coincide, well, then they do!

[Sufficient Voice]

20. Thank you.

I'll try mailing him to.

[cali]

8. If you meet the Buddha on the road

kill him.

We sure do have a lot of hero worship at DU.

[Sufficient Voice]

10. No.

I do not worship heroes. He is the person right for this role. We all must do what we can. Right now, I implore a friend.

[Kurovski]

17. Costantly yamming about Hillary does not amount to hero worship.

So stop saying that, Cali!

[UGADUer]

11. Maybe it's time to stop asking him and start doing things ourselves

and getting behind people who can do good for this country who will run. All this groveling at the feet of Al Gore, who has found his niche and has done a lot of good work there, is making us look really lacking -- whereas the power to change lays at our feet already.

[Dave From Canada]

12. MSNBC talked about a story that claims he will endorse Hillary.

[UGADUer]

13. To some extent I can see that happening

A lot of very progressive people have endorsed her because they were friends with the Clinton family and I think they feel that if they endorse them that maybe they'll have some influence. On the other hand, Clinton-Gore relations were soured near the end and Gore even stepped away from Lieberman in endorsing Dean so anything can happen.

[emilyg]

18. I hope so. Heads would pop.

[UGADUer]

23. Never let hatred motivate you

nt

[kster]

29. Al Gore will not endorse any candidate,

that in and of itself would be damaging to him.

My two cents...

[Kurovski]

28. It's still early.

The campaign is just now starting.

We have plenty of time to see who would make the best vice-president to Al Gore.

Edit: welcome here to DU, UGADUer!

[Bitwit1234]

14. He doesn't want to...so the pittle pattle who support Obama haven't got a chance

now that Gore's on her side.

[UGADUer]

19. How would you rate President Dean's performance?

I think he's doing fine, though Vice President Gephardt has shown some weak performance.

[bonito]

25. Gore is on who's side

Did I miss something?

[rosesaylavee]

15. SV

why don't you mosey on over to the Gore forum for some like-minded fellowship?

:hi:

[RestoreGore]

22. He called YOU to serve. Are YOU facing the challenge?

The time is now. Really, this constnant harping on him as if he is doing nothing is getting so tiresome. If you hate Hillary Clinton so much and want her dumped them DO SOMETHING about it besides begging him. He is already doing much if people would only open their eyes. I swear this rhetoric would do more to turn me off to it than convince me otherwise.

[bonito]

24. Like what? n/t

[superkia]

26. I see these posts just as much as the Clintons leading the polls...

and the how Clinton can be stopped threads. Its starting to get boring around here, someone please post some valuable information on the candidates so we can use the board to help pick the best possible leader for our country. Please, please please!

Thats just what I thought when I saw the thread, I am just ranting to pass time, as you were.:hi:

[Yukari Yakumo]

30. Sad.

Begging him to run... How pathetic can anyone get...

BTW, Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Kurovski]

36. Desperate, pathetic, betrayed, suffering, abused...

may shame be yours for lording it over those in dire straights and see so few ways to truly rectify matters. :-)

[Kurovski]

33. Kick. (nt)

[Mabus]

35. The people are rallying

Let's hope he answers our call to action.

K&R

[SlowDownFast]

37. K&R.

Keep the faith!

[smalll]

38. Your headline would do nothing to convince Al Gore -

he's a good man with good sense and a good Democrat. In other words, he's not a Hill-hating nimrod. :shrug:

[Kurovski]

40. Agreed. Others have suggested that if OP writes directly

to Gore, OP remove the negative.

[Sufficient Voice]

42. You know

somehow being called a Hill-hating nimrod by a Hilary fan, only further convinces me not to support Hilary. If this is what Hilary supporters are like, I am glad I am not one of you.

[BuyingThyme]

43. Super letter, Sufficient Voice!

Welcome to DU!

:hi:
