Reply #80: Could Gore really pull off a "Nixon 68" scenario?

[AntiCoup2K4]

Granted, I missed the first half of the 60's entirely and barely remember the second half, but I'm pretty sure the media of the day wasn't still allowing the names of Eisenhower & Nixon to be trashed daily every time someone needed a convenient scapegoat.

Clinton & Gore are still trashed by the right wingers and the corporate whore media whenever possible. This might make Gore's comeback considerably more difficult than Nixon's was in the similar position.

But given the content of the speeches he's given the last few years - not to mention the way he was swindled out of his rightful term of office, Gore's my second choice for the ticket, and might just move to #1 if Dean is DNC chair and takes himself out of the 2008 sweepstakes.

And it goes without saying that Al would need a better running mate this time ;)
