                                                Room for Al Gore in the race?

FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

In many ways, it’s been a strange campaign up to this point. But it could get a lot stranger.

Consider this: What if we go through the Florida primary and Super Tuesday and the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama remains as tight as it’s been? For the primaries, Democrats have the same rules in every state: delegates are awarded in proportion to the vote — meaning no winner-take-all. If Clinton and Obama continue to split the vote in many states, it’s possible we could get to late spring or early summer and neither candidate would have enough delegates to secure the nomination.

And that’s assuming they get that far without destroying each other with their increasingly nasty bickering. There just might be an opening for someone else to step in and unify the party. Oh, you know, like say maybe Al Gore.

Gore insists he won’t run despite a movement called “draft-Gore-dot-com” that’s calling on him to “transcend politics as usual and bring real hope to our country and to the world.” As recently as last month, the former vice president said he has “no plans to be a candidate.” But being a politician he added, “I see no reason to rule it out entirely.”

Also, it’s worth noting Gore has not backed either Clinton or Obama so far, and a recent report indicated that an endorsement by Gore is looking less likely. Former advisers suggest the Nobel Prize catapulted Gore to a new national and international standing that could possibly be tarnished by taking sides in the primary battle.

Aside from the horrid  treatment expected by the MSM (remember 2000?), it has long

been my suspicion that Al Gore was "persuaded by the Powers-That-Be" NOT to run

against Hillary......

Bianca, he hates Hillary!  I also heard that he isn't too crazy about Bill, too.  That last one was news to me.  Too bad that Gore didn't decide to run earlier, I think he would win in a walk over the Republicans, while Hillary, if she is the nominee, would struggle.

Jeremy,


If you remember, in 2004 (in December) Al Gore WAS persuaded by "The powers that be" NOT to run.....

The "Party" (DNC & DLC & THE DEM CONGRESS) WOULD NOT support him.........



It all amounts to:

WE - THE PEOPLE - HAVE NO SAY......
