GORE is on fire folks, he is just on fire

[nadinbrzezinski]

[oldtime dfl_er]

1. Love him!

He is the BIZNESS!

[RazBerryBeret]

2. no question....

he ROCKS!!!

[K Gardner]

3. This is THE REAL GORE, sans political fear. Damn.

[muntrv]

4. I can hear The Cult's "Fire" playing in my head as I hear Gore speak.

[JackORoses]

11. Smoke on the Horizon!!

Fiyoooo!

[Rick Myers]

5. This is how you win an election, people!!!

Can you picture the McCain crew at the McCainAsylum viewing this???

RISE UP!!!

WE ARE NOT RED OR BLUE!!!

WE ARE THE USA!!!!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

9. Did he really say that?

Damn. They done pulled the chocks on Al. Gonna be a lot of wailing and caterwauling in the fever swamps tonight.

[Mabus]

6. Gore is kicking butt and telling it like it is

and why it needs to change! He's the only one who has the authority to talk on issues like the importance of elections (note, he didn't limit by saying "voting") and the global climate change within a political arena.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. Wonderful

I wish he would run for VP Obama/Gore 08

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. He will have a role in the next administration, Not as a VEEP

but he will... either officially or not... but he will

[MiniMe]

25. Agreed

[orleans]

34. didn't they look wonderful together--at the end, i kept smiling

when they had their arms around each other and waving with the free arm/hand.

they looked like the perfect pair.

(made me real happy to see that)

[Old Hickory Fan]

10. True American Patriot and Leader = Gore

nt

[flor de jasmim]

12. Like Richardson, Gore is much better as an advocate for someoen else than he was for himself.

Wow!

[earthlover]

13. Obama/Gore

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. For many reasons will not happen

[earthlover]

21. don't be too sure

Gore would unite the party like nobody else could. Hillary would not even unite the party because some would think Obama sold out to take her as VP. Gore would offend NOBODY! Gore has experience, he has huge positives, he is fighting for an ideal everyone can relate to that has an even remote chance of ever voting Dem in their lifetime, and////last but not least////he is the best person Obama could select, regardless of the political factors.

Do I expect it? Hell, the odds are against any one single possibility. But Obama is going to nominate SOMEONE. Whomever gets the nomination in August is a less-than-50% chance now.

So why not Gore? Obama/Gore would be perfect.

[Raksha]

15. Incredible speech, sad in a way...

"What might have been.." (sigh)

[NewJeffCT]

37. They had a "what might have been"

parody with the real Al Gore on Saturday Night Live a few years back (I remember one part with him saying something like, "and because we have broken our reliance on foreign oil and gas is at 9 cents a gallon, I am announcing a government bailout of ExxonMobil, because we know if the shoe was on the other foot, they would certainly do the same for the American people.”)

[Blue Belle]

16. I couldn't tear my eyes from the screen.

He was phenominal. He brought down the house. I think David Corn is right... having Al there is a constant reminder to Americans of what could have been. I know that's what I think of when I see either Gore or Kerry. My heart breaks a little.

On a side note, Do you think Gore misses it? Do you think he misses the massive crowds and the energy they give off?

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. No... he's truly moved on

[Cleita]

17. Yes, Too bad we didn't get the Obama follow-up.

I had to turn it off because of the voice overs. The producers of that show should be fired.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. CSPAN

[Cleita]

31. "no input file specified"

:shrug:

[MiniMe]

28. Still going on at cspan

Listening now, a great speech.

[Cleita]

30. I'll catch it replayed somewhere.n/t

[Clark2008]

19. "Even our dogs and cats know that elections mean something!"

Greatest line of the night.

:rofl:

[stillcool]

20. I liked the "If you care about..

the T in your BLT" elections matter!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. My parrots screeched, what about us?

It was funny

[bdamomma]

24. can you imagine how different things would have been now

if things worked out for us in 2000.

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. No two war front... for starters

[NewJeffCT]

38. I think there would have been no war whatsoever

If Gore had been the one that came into office in January of 2001, there likely would have been a small headline on page A5 a few months later, "Suspected terrorist bin Laden captured by Special Forces in Afghanistan" and a few quotes from Republicans in Congress about how we shouldn't be engaged in this type of activity on foreign soil and how it was reckless foreign policy.

Then, a few months later, we'd have gotten another small headline in September of 2001, "FBI detains 20 suspected hijackers" and we'd have had Fox News up in arms about how the Gore White House was profiling Saudis and demanding they not be deported because the Saudis are known to torture criminals.

With the Taliban sanctions continuing from the Clinton years, they eventually would have folded, possibly creating a scenario for UN intervention there to stabilize the country. But, no out and out invasion & overthrow of the government.

[aquart]

29. "Worked out for us"??? We were mugged.

[bdamomma]

36. I stand corrected we were mugged and the SC was in on the

coup d'etat.

[rosesaylavee]

27. Yes. He. Was.

He sure knows how to deliver the goods, doesn't he? Inspired in the true sense of the word.

:kick:

[Pastiche423]

32. 1st time I've really cheered during this longass primary

My will always belong to Al Gore!

[deaniac21]

33. Global warming?

[Swamp Rat]

35. NeoGore is the One

:D

[Echo In Light]

39. "Is gore really going to bring anybody new to Obama?" - MSNBC

Guess they feel the need to downplay things ... that pesky ol "liberal" media.
