11. Though I am a yellow dog, it is hard to support a candidate (HRC) with 40+% negatives among voters
I want us to run a Presidential candidate who does not start within a very short distance of losing. If as many as 44% of voters have already said they will not support HRC in the general election, we are giving the Rethugs a gift by running her.

They can't as easily steal another election where our candidate polls way the hell outside the margin of error as they can when the race starts in such a competitive position.

There are a number of reasons why HRC polls the way she does. There are other reasons why I don't support her myself.

Gore solves these problems if he will do what this world needs and enter the '08 race. At the risk of heating up the planet even more, his candidacy would add serious "heat" to the '08 race.

Come on, Al, say it's so.
