| You read it her first - Gore-Obama '08 |
| 2005-10-11 |
| This should kill the Hildebeast talk. Is Al Gore coming back? If allies we talked to have their way, the former veep will be the next president. "It's Gore Time," says a political strategist and fundraiser who is opening a bid to get Gore into the race. Gore friends see his recent political and business moves as proof he's preparing to run. Allies say that in speeches, Gore has found his voice to address domestic and world issues. And in raising money for his Current TV network, which targets the critical youth market, Big Al has built an issue base and donor network that's competitive with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's. Our source--a top aide in the previous Bush administration--is planning meetings with Gore's team to push an early entry while Clinton runs for re-election in New York. It doesn't end there: The Gorebots want him to pick Sen. Barack Obama, the youthful Illinois African-American, as his No. 2. |

| #19 There is NO competition between Gore and Hillary - the Clintons still control the Dems pursestrings, and Obama IMO hasn't done anything substantive that I'm aware of since his MSM debut. Iff Obama was a Senator from Naw Yark, unless something changes he's basically a "male" Hillary despite his youthful looks. All Demmies are Repubs, Conservatives, and alleged "Fascists" for the time being, if in name only [RINO/CHINOS's]. Wid Dubya's record of achievements, the odds are minutae the Demmies can win short of elex shennanigans/fraud and casualty-intensive WMD attacks targeted at Dubya, the GOP-Conservatives, and anti-Clinton Dems. The MSM's current penchant for alternatist "reality" viewing isn't doing much to help the Demmies despite is silent mesage that Universal Govt.-led Regulation is good for everybody - inducing nation-wide ANARCHY-VIOLENCE-FRACTIONALISM ala CINDY-GATE, etc. IS ABOUT THE ONLY OPTION THE DEMMIES AND HILLARY HAVE LEFT, AS BILL'S OWN COMMENTS HAVE ESSENs DESTROYED ANYTHING HILLARY AND THE DEMS COULD CLAIM FROM THE 1990's. Lastly, most American women do NOT want a female(s) in power, i.e. the Oval Office as POTUS/VPOTUS during times of national crises or stress, and even presum that a Dem wins the WH in 2008, iff Hillary still desires to be POTUS she can't allow Gore-Kerry-Dean, etal. to usurp any public glories at her expense. THE CLINTONS AND FAR/ULTRA-LEFT RIGHT NOW ARE HIDING IN THE BACKSTREETS, DARK ALLEYS, AND PC SHADOWS OF BOTH GOP-CONSERVATISM AND ALLEGED "FASCIST SOCIALISM", SO "GORE-OBAMA" IN REALITY DOESN'T DETRACT FROM THE FORMER - WHAT WILL BE in 2008 WILL BE WHAT IS. WHAT THE MSM ISN'T ACCOMPLISHING FOR THE COMMIE CLINTONS, AL-QAEDA AND RADICAL ISLAM MUST DO vv NEW 9-11's!? |

| #18 What do you mean, Hillary's not a hawk? What are we supposed to do if the Branch Davidians attack again? What if Elian Gonzales attacks again? |

| #17 Always look at Hillary as a Theodora wannabe. Gaining power through the husband and a willingness to destroy anyone who got in the way. All so Byzantine. |

| #16 her hawkish position? You'd fall for that head fake, LH. What a scam. Either you're naive or a useful tool for her She's a socialist in sheep's clothing, mewing toughtalk to selected audiences. Kinda like Yasser and what he said in English vs Arabic, only more sleazy |

| #14 When was the last time a failed Presidential contender was given a second shot by his party? Nixon? Its not going to happen. The smell of loser is too strong. |

| #13 Obama is a likeable guy, he'd come out damaged goods to associate himself with just about anybody in his party. |

| #12 They hate Hillary for her hawkish position. I dislike Hillary for not divorcing her husband after he shamed their family. Which is not as *political* a reason as my posts tend to be, but the heart dislikes at it will. Plus, a chief politician's wife using the fame from her spousal connection to try and propel her political career after her husband's own has ended reminds me horribly of Dimitra "Mimi" Papandreou's own (eventually failed) ambitions. I'd suggest to the Democrats that they bypass both Gore and Hillary and put their money on Obama-for-President directly. |

| #10 I think the big donor network that Al Gore thinks he has will dry up pretty fast I bet his main donor is Theresa Kerry. |

| #7 Now is the time, don't look back ... don't look back ... keep hope alive ... keep hope alive ... hope not the dope ... hope not the dope ... give ALgore enough rope ... don't spare the rope ... he'll do the rest as well as the best and twice as nice as ice. They'll put the devolution of Algore on pay for view won't they. |

| #6 As much as I dislike Al I hope he has enough sense to watch his ass around Hillery. Hate to think what accident might befall him if Hillery determines hes a threat. |

| #5 I think the big donor network that Al Gore thinks he has will dry up pretty fast unless he endorses some close-to 50/50 Democratic Senate candidates and then he campaigns for them and then they win. Also, if Hillary tops 60% in her Senate race, that will also take the steam out of the Gore campaign. Still, we can hope. |

| #4 This is about as fun as watching the Conservatives destruct over the Meirs nomination. Yeah, please pass some popcorn. Thank goodness for picture within a picture television. Two entertaining shows at once. |

| #3 The lefties want the new Gore, whos more left than the Old Gore. Esp cause hes "antiwar" on Iraq. They hate Hillary for her hawkish position. Gore wont win over anyone in the DLC camp. It may come down to electability. Gore managed to blow the 2000 election, despite prosperity and a weak GOP candidate. And moving to the left has probably made him LESS electable. OTOH the Gore supporters will cite the Hillary hatred. My sense is that the Hillary hatred probably helps. It doesnt really effect the swing voters in the center - and it means the base will vote for Hillary in the general, to spite the far right - which gives her room to play to the center. |

| #1 This has all the reality of a Bugs Bunny movie to me. Am I wrong or wasn't there a whole lotta talk back in Sept. '01 about how lucky the country had been caus Gore lost? And weren't lots of those people saying such things Gore supporters? How long will a Gore candidacy survive when all that stuff is brought up? |
