Somebody beat me to the punch and was quoted on CNN about Al Gore stepping in. I missed the name of the person who said it. I had thought about the possibility that Al Gore can clean up this mess for the Democrats. With McCain gaining momentum while Clinton and Obama are hurting each other, Al Gore may be the savior. With the war and the economy there should be no way the Republicans can win this election. The Democrats can lose it, however. The same can be said for Clinton; there is no way she can win the nomination but she stays in just in case Obama loses it with a huge mistake or more pastorgate. If it turns out that McCain is shown to be beating both of them in the polls because neither can win the nomination, then Al Gore can come in and be the compromise candidate. He can name Obama as VP and groom him for down the road and that can satisfy the black voters. It is a long shot but that's what I am hoping for.
I don't know if Gore will be a great president but he would be better than the 3 choices we have right now. He is now well known all over the world. Even in China and India he is well-respected. This will bring some credibility back to us after the Bush years. Obama is too inexperienced even though I think he is the best of the 3. Clinton is too divisive and will probably lose to McCain given the likely defection of the black voters if the super delegates nominated her. McCain is getting senile. He gets confused about al qeda, Shiites and Sunnis. Now that the violence has increased again because of Shiites militias are fighting the Shiite army, the Republicans are blaming Iran. I can see another war brewing if McCain is elected. Plus the economy is in trouble and he claimed that he does not know much about the economy. If the Democrats can't win this year, I wonder if they ever will win again.

Wow, I did not hear anything about Gore stepping in. I watched the 60 Minutes interview with him on Sunday and I can't see him stepping in. He says he's in a good place in his life and at 60+ years old, he seems content for the first time. Plus the guy is worth millions now.
ReplyDeleteHe's been my first choice for a long time and it would be interesting for sure.
McCain is running a near flawless campaign right now and it helps that there isn't much focus on him. He's made hmself out to be the anti-Bush and he seems to be going out for the moderates now. He will already have the right wingers who refuse to vote democrat anyway. I still think he can win despite his views on the economy and Iraq. Remember that the country is split about the war and he'll have the backing of big business.
If I were Obama's campaign manager, I'd have him run his campaign like he was running against McCain and totally leave Clinton out of the conversation.
It's time that he focus on the bigger picture. I think this will make Clinton look even more desperate. If they believe there's no way for him to lose, it's time for him to start running as the candidate instead of against Clinton.
