Reply #90: I want to preface this by saying I love Al Gore.

He was my first political "crush."

However, he hasn't proven to me that he has learned anything from the people of Tennessee. He said when he conceded in 2000 that he was going to come back here and find out why his own state didn't vote for him.

Then, he came out in December of 2003 and endorsed Howard Dean - who wasn't even a blip on the primary radar in the South, Tennessee included. Did he learn anything about Southern Democrats and Independents? Apparently not.

I've moved on and I hope he just sticks with providing the United States with much-needed alternative and independent news and information, like he's planned with indyTV. We need media reform in conjunction with election reform and a candidate who can appeal to the "liberal North" and the "conservative South" if we're to ever take back the White House and Congress.
