Al Gore on the second ballot: A scenario that a few weeks ago seemed preposterous is beginning to look plausible to some nervous Democrats looking for a way out of the deadlock between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. It goes like this: We love them both, but neither is a sure bet when it comes to electability. It's not about gender and race, each has more mundane vulnerabilities. Hillary's negatives will drive white men to John McCain; Obama's inexperience will require a gut check on the part of voters. What if the super delegates decide not to decide, denying either candidate the requisite number of delegates to secure the party's nomination. Democrats want to win. The new rallying cry: Gore on the second ballot.
That should focus some people's attention. Sorry about the nightmares tonight.
I just jumped out my window, now I do live in a single story ranch with windows about four feet off the ground, but I’ve about had it with Al Gore.
Seriously this is a nightmare.
Please, Gaius! You’ll scare the children! (Not to mention me.)
Let them pick Gore. He’s already shown that he’s unelectable and he hasn’t become any better choice in the last eight years – he’s just aquired more baggage.
