Thread: The Al Gore solution?

Forgone conclusion that McCain will be pressie. Throwing Al Bore into the process will only obliterate the democrats even more.

really don't make much difference if it be Gore or Hilderbeast,, same-o same-o.

If the dems had ran anyone before, then Bush would never have got in in the first place..

stupid plan, Obama is in the lead, the stupid bitch doesn't want to give up, she is done

By round two, with all delegates free to vote for whomever they want, Gore would start to look a lot better than his competition. Most likely, Obama would broker a deal (Gore and Hillary don't like each other) whereby Obama accepts the role as Vice President. It might even appeal to Obama....

Not going to happen.

Got that right.
The 'Goreacle' has about as much cred as RC these days!

The Al Gore scenario is based on Obama faltering in the final primaries, but Obama seems to be picking up steam lately. What's troubling is that McCain is very competitive in states that Obama should win easily, like New Jersey. If Obama limps to the convention with late losses, Gore might be the only way to keep McCain out of the White House. Remember, Gore beat Bush by 500,000 votes and Bush beat McCain in the 2000 primaries. Using simple deductive reasoning, it would indicate that Gore would beat McCain. Personally, I prefer Obama. I just hope he can start to win over working class white voters in the swing states, which won't be easy.

Interesting thought, but ultimately would it not bring the whole democratic process into question? You've got two candidates slugging it out for Democrat votes in the 50 states. Then at the last minute, when the Primaries are all but over, some back room boys introduce a new candidate who hasn't been presented or marketed to the voting public. I think it would cost the Democrat party a lot of grass roots support.

But that's the great irony here. Gore is the only outside person who could possibly have the fairness issue on his side. He was totally screwed out of the presidency by Florida's voter suppression techniques and a Supreme Court majority created by Bush's father. The scenario assumes two damaged and ineffective Democratic candidates, but it's all a moot issue if Obama finishes strong. He's only 7% behind the Hildebeast in Pennsylvania, her stronghold.

Hilderbeast is the best asset the Republicans have.
By the time she gets the boot she will have done more damage to Obamas public image than McCain.

I saw on Newshour that outside the confirmed party voters Obama has good support among the swinging voters while Hillary has little. When it comes down to the final contest with McCain Obama has by far the better chance. But Hillary is on an ego trip and if she cant have it she is determined to spoil it for everyone.

^ fucking bitch has to let it go, that said, it's still early in the race so plenty of time to bash McCain when we have a candidate

If Al Bore is the solution then the blue party really is in bad shape.

Yeah, but he would be a hell of a lot more fun to watch. Algore is a certified Kook, and business whore. Four years of Algore, would be like having to put up with Elmer Gantry at the TV on a daily basis. The nation would have a perpetual "barf bag" on hand at all times.

Al-gore? Sounds like a muslim name to me.
