Gore/Richardson is a winning ticket. Cilinton/Anyone is not. I dread Hilly getting

[zonkers]

the nomination. Besides her war chest and her big dog connection , what does she have going for her? A short stint in the senate? (on edit)I don't like the idea one bit. Not now. And don't get me wrong -- I like Hillary.

1. Gore/ANYONE is a winning ticket

The guy is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee and will hopefully be an Academy Award winner by the time the election rolls around. Plus, best resume in the field. Hands down, we can run him with anyone and I think he'd win. (Well, not Joe-mentum ... )

[AlinPA]

3. The media will trash any Democrat; Gore would be smashed every day by

every network and by every late-night show endlessly. I respect him, trust him, like him and think he is the brightest individual available as a candidate. The media controls too much when it comes to presidential politics.

[LSparkle]

5. The attacks would seem stale, though

"Been there, done that." What NEW stuff could they dredge up about him this time that wasn't thrown at him in 2000?

[Kahuna]

14. True that! But I do like Gore/Richardson.

[Elwood P Dowd]

15. Gore/Webb would kill the repukes

[wain]

2. I think some of the best and the brightest stay away from politics

The potential of unfairly being the target of "politics of personal destruction" turns many talented people away. Who wants to subject their family to any of this? But, I guess that's all part of the process of weeding out the tough and strong.

[Lefty-Taylor]

4. I agree. Let's face it: Ms. Clinton is anything but a progressive. Her long support for the war has

pissed many of us off. ABC -- Anyone But Clinton for the '08 bid. (Almost anyone, of course.)

[Captain Hilts]

9. She has a very progressive voting record. nt

[Stephanie]

6. I love it.

Great ticket!

[bowens43]

7. Gore couldn't beat Bush...that tells me all I need to know,

Gore was a really lousy candidate and I see no reason to believe that it would be different this time around.

[dflprincess]

11. Gore DID beat Bush

He won the popular vote and, had the ballot in Florida been counted, he would have won the electoral as well.

[Captain Hilts]

8. How do you know this? Hillary gets more votes than polling points.

I was in political polling for eight years.

And you don't know who the reps will nominate.

Think of a more valid way to criticize her.

[Nevernever]

10. I have to agree with zonkers, here...

She is UNELECTABLE. Even most Dems wouldn't waste a vote on her. Too polarizing, too well connected, too corporately funded, and she has that embarrassing voting history, as well as too many easy scandal-handles for the 'Pubs.

Gore/Pretty Much ANYONE sounds good to me...I think Obama should bide his time, however, as I believe it MUST surely come...2012 or 2016, perhaps. He just does not hve enough experience to gain enough support.

[Alamom]

17. ALL the poll findings to date disagree with you

She's still leading...everywhere. All of these anyway. I'm sure there are more (somewhere) with someone else leading.

12. Richardson said he will not be a second banana

So I guess we'll have to draft him along with Gore

[skipos]

18. And Obama said he wouldn't run.

Politicians always say wacky things about running.

[Bonobo]

13. If there ever was a sure losing bet, it would be Hillary. Yup.

[EndElectoral]

16. Gore/Clark would be quite powerful.
