What about Al Gore?

Losing to Kennedy didn't stop a leaner, meaner, Nixon from running again in 1968.

I read a post from an earlier thread and I'm convinced that if Al Gore chose to run in the 2008 primary I'd give him a clean slate to work off of. He's obviously a different man than we was in 2000. Since getting screwed by EVERYONE during the Florida debacle I'm certain he won't be the poll watching candidate having his campaign manager micromanage his every move.

He endorsed Howard Dean, that ought to tell you something about the lessons he's learned in the last 4 years, that its better to stand on principle AND be proud and VOCAL of where you stand.

I felt sad hearing about how he fought for 36 days despite being grossly being abandoned by his own party and the rest of the left, even getting screwed by Lieberman. He's going to be the candidate who doesn't give a shit about what "some people" think of his personality or attitude. I think if Gore runs in 2008 you'll get a Howard Dean with the red state mentality that we've all been looking for.

On a side note, for a VP pick we realyl ought to get someone who doesn't want to be president. Not that Edwards was bad, but we need an attack dog to viciously go after the target. And I think the best way to accomplish that is to get someone who really couldn't give a shit whether he'll run for president or not. Thats why Dick Cheney works so well for the retarded chimp.
