Are you finally ready for Al Gore yet?

[Must_B_Free]

- has proven knowledge and experience
- proven to be honest
- has uncomparable name recognition
- history has proven him to be right and Bush to be wrong
- got the majority in the last election
- is good looking, intelligent and well spoken
- tremendous foreign policy experience
- expert on the threat of terrorism
- is a southerner

Can someone explain why we aren't demanding a Gore Presdency?

he's more likeable than Dean and has a more decided identity than Clark. Can anyone demonstrate why another candidate is as good as

Standard Disclaimer - don't bother to post the following responses:
*sigh*
- he's a loser
- he's a liar
- he's boring
- he doesn't want to run
- he isn't running

1. I was

2. You can want all you want

but if there is no response to your want then you pretty much have to accept it.

Sorry, but "He doesn't want to run" pretty much sums it up whether or not you want that to be an answer.

3. YES

But when this talk started up earlier this year I said until Gore gets into the mix, no deal.

I think Gore has figured out where the DECISIONS are being made and where the DIRECTION of our country is being pushed from. That would explain his trying to start up a progressive TV/radio or whatever it is channel.

Gore can do more by cultivating Liberal talking points, personalities and getting someone out there who defines our vision.

4. No

There is too much baggage, with Al. The entire Clinton administration, for starters.

We can't afford to go through the crap about him inventing the internet again - or the crap about Love Story being based on he and Tipper. It isn't just that the media hates him - so do most folks.

I live in the land of the northern redneck - and in 2000 they knew Al Gore wanted to take their guns away. There was no convincing them otherwise. These pinheads might actually vote for Dean, but they'll never vote for Gore.

Nope, sorry Al.

5. I was ready for Gore for 2.5 years after the 2000 election

then he decided not to run in 2004--almost a year ago--and I moved on to another candidate. He is the one who needs to decide what he wants to do--not us. There has been a Draft Gore effort underway, but frankly it didn't go anywhere--unlike the Draft Clark effort.

6. Have you seen http://www.goreabc.com ?

I am newly stoked about Gore, partially because of the new Gore ABC plan which you have probably heard of. This is new, exciting, organized and just getting off the ground.

You've probably already heard of it.

7. THanks -

what are meetups?

Is this like Multi Level Marketing meets politics?

[Baconfoot]

18. Great Intuition There...

Meetups are just meetings where individuals get together and talk about the candidate (or other topic) of their choice. If you go to http://gore2004.meetup.com , you'll be able to see the list of communities having Gore meetups. Meetup.com is a great membership growth mechanism. Every person signs up x many people who are supposed to sign up x many people etc. i.e. Multi Level Marketing meets politics. If you join gore2004.meetup.com , you can choose to make your contact information available to Gore ABC and you'd begin receiving emails etc. about what's going on.

Other important Gore resources are:
http://www.draftgore.com
http://www.algoresupportcenter.com
http://www.algoredemocrats.com

God I am starting to sound like some kind of Gore Stepford Wife.

8. I certainly don't appreciate your attempted censorship...

I think you listed exactly how I feel about Gore (without the lying tag.)

- he's a loser
- he's boring
- he doesn't want to run
- he isn't running

9. I don't count Gore out

Funny you should post this tonight. The first thing I thought after watching the debates tonight is that Gore might jump in. If you have been at this site very long, you know I am a longstanding Gore advocate. I do not think there is anyone out there as qualified as Gore to sit in the Oval Office.

To tell you the truth I had given up until I watched the debates. When it became apparent the flickering promise of Clark to the elite of the party to stop Dean has apparently been snuffed; even they (the powerbrokers within) might to turn to Gore and ask him to run. Apparently, they do not truly believe Dean can win and Clark is unsteady in the political wars.

I do not make the above the statements to disparage either Dean or Clark. I actually think Dean is the probably the best of the politicans in the current field; I think Clark is one most apt to appeal to the defecting Republicans but probably will not capture the bulk of the Democratic base. That aside, I am not sure either can take the race from Bush* in 2004 to the extent I am sure Gore can. Gore's been around this pike before; Rove paid one million dollars for a study on how Gore won the popular vote in 2000.

Say what you might about the value of fresh faces, the lack of Gore charisma, etc., etc., there is no substitute for experience. An objective analysis of the simple odds I believe will prompt a Gore undercurrent to surface in the political waters this fall. It's a political necessity if Bush* is to be turned out.

10. it also the classic American Hero meme

The rightful good guy overcomes the evil opponants dirty tricks to re-establish truth and justice.

This theme is hardwired into peoples soul.

Of course the reason to not tap into that is that you really don't want to wiun or perhaps you have been ordered to lose.

With all of our representatives on the same gravy train that the enemy is drigin, why do we expect them to be successful.

They are like a hack who is paid to take a dive

11. You forgot to put "Get over it" in front of

"he's not running." I wish he would enter the race. Would love to see him kick Bush* the Squatter out of the WH.

[Renew Deal]

13. Gore is OK, but our candidates rock. No more Gore in 04.

We have great representation. Go Clark.

[ozone_man]

14. Gore had his chance. Can't play it that close with the BFEE.

He comes off as kind of stiff, what I refer to as a cardboard personality and I don't particularly care for his looks, mainly due to his personality or lack of it. Other than that, he is DLC, and that automatically rules him out as it does Clark, Lieberman, Kerry, etc., all corporate or Washington insiders.

We have had Southerners and Westerners in office for so long now. Was Kennedy the last president from NE? Time for a big change, a Notherner, Dean, will usher in a period of change from the status quo. A breath of fresh air.

from either party in damn near five decades....

17. Isn't Bush* a Kennebunkport Boy?

The whole texas image was a prop created in 2000.

19. Stiff? Have you seen him speak lately? n/t

[Bread and Circus]

15. I voted for Gore..

and I think he is great for
trying to put the liberal channel together.

That is where we need him.
