What about Al Gore in 2008?

[timeforachange]

He could try and pull a Nixon like come back.

1. Please no. Haven't we sufffered enough ?

Gore's best shot was in 2000. He was the two term VP in an admin presiding over unprecedented prosperity and peace, yet failed to convincingly beat an iexperienced governor from Texas. And it had little to do with the Monica thing. Gore simply isn't charismatic or consistent enough. Sigh.

2. I wonder if gore would have gotten more votes than Kerry

You know, run the devil you know.....

force the voters into a lesser of two evils....

3. A definite possibility

He is one of my favourite politicians in the Democratic party right now.

4. No thanks

And besides it doesn't matter who we get up there until those damn machines have some sort of a paper receipt/trail or we have no voting machines at all, Dems or any other party less the repubs will lose again and again and again.
Also seems pointless to talk about who in 2008:eyes:

We gotta Kill the Machines FIRST!

5. I think not.

Warner, Easley, maybe Bayh... these are the names we should be looking at, but it's still very early for this kind of talk.

6. Bullshit

Lets just fucking nominate a Bush in 2008. Whats the difference?

[fishface]

7. No thanks..

he was the best of two lousy choices in 2000 as it was

[Warren DeMontague]

8. I'll take the fightin', feisty Al Gore

we saw this past year.

[radfringe]

9. toooooo early for speculation

consider 2000 --- who expected John Kerry to run?

Hillary and Gore -- my two cents
I watched "HUNTING OF THE PRESIDENT" -- recommend you watch it

Clinton-haters are still out there, and considering that after 4 years of bush* -- bush* is still blaming everything from the economy to terror to a cat having kittens on Clinton

This is NOT going to go away -- and be it Hillary or Gore -- the Clinton-hate is something they will have to be prepared to overcome and deal with it effectively

Does this mean I wouldn't support either of them as candidates --- nope -- it just means that I've moved from the ABB-club to the ABR-club (anyone but a Republican)

[0rganism]

10. I posited that John Kerry might run back in early 2002

on another forum. The rightwingers were blabbing about how no Democrat could run against bush after 9/11, or some shit like that. So I did a little thinking, poking around, and came up with John Kerry.

This was before Wes Clark and Howard Dean threw their hats into the race. I think either of them could have made a winning campaign. But who am I to say that Sen. Kerry didn't win as well? When we go back to paper-ballot voting machines, maybe we can start having real elections. I hope to see one in my lifetime.
