Could Obama and Edwards steer their delegates to Gore in order to stop Hillary from getting the nomination? How about Gore for President, Obama for VP and Edwards as the AG?

1. that's some wishful fantasy
or maybe that's been Gore's plan all along. :think:

if he shows up at the convention wearing his Nobel they have to give it to him.

2. and Oscar and Emmy
Shit, I'd vote for him just to hold them suckers for a minute.

Oh, wait I have held an Oscar and an Emmy.

No wait, that was when I was drunk and making out with a guy named Oscar and his girlfriend Emmy.

Ah screw it!

Goldwater/Miller!

4. i've thought since I first saw a post of your's that you're living
in some odd fantasy world. This post merely confirms that. There won't be a brokered convention for a host of reasons I won't bother explaining, and Gore won't be the nominee. Sorry to intrude on your droll little fantasy world with reality.

5. Gore for sure, but
this convention has even less chance of being brokered than most, and most have almost no chance at all.

Possibly the Republican convention has a small chance of being deadlocked this year, but only a small chance.

6. Jeb Bush
Because a brokered convention means the same old DC Democrats will be in charge.

8. There won't be a brokered convention
every four years, people fantasize about it, but there's absolutely no reason to think it will happen.

We will have a nominee, probably by March.
