Senior Democrats mull Al Gore's nomination (UK Telegraph)
2008-03-30
Interesting Entertaining view from the other side of the Pond - & companion to CNN piece already posted.
Plans for Al Gore to take the Democratic presidential nomination as the saviour of a bitterly divided party are being actively discussed by senior figures and aides to the former vice-president.

The bloody civil war in Iraq - oops, sorry, wrong story between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has left many Democrats convinced that neither can deliver a knockout blow to the other and that both have been so damaged that they risk losing November's election to the Republican nominee, John McCain.
And this is a problem because....?
Former Gore aides ...
delusional as ever, but do carry on
... now believe he could emerge as a compromise candidate acceptable to both camps at the party's convention in Denver during the last week of August. Two former Gore campaign officials have told The Sunday Telegraph that a scenario first mapped out by members of Mr Gore's inner circle last May now has a sporting chance of coming true.
So now we know where that crap came from. AlBore still has delusions of grandeur. I'd say I'm shocked, but I hate to lie.

#6  By the time the ugly deal is done the AlGore will have lower negatives than Obama or Clinton, it's not a bad tactical idea, merely impossible to execute. But gawd, Ima do so want to be there, if it's tried. DEWEY!

#5  If Algore was to be nominated I wonder how long it would take to expose his financial shenanigans w/r global warming and carbon credits?
