Gore/Webb 2008 ? Could America do better?

[Faryn Balyncd]

Does anyone else feel Jim Webb would greatly enhance the ticket?

[Freeusfromthechurch]

1. I love the idea

[AGiordino]

2. Fantastic Fantasy

That would seriously kick a$$.

[Bullet1987]

3. Gore isn't running, so stop talking about it...

...How many different ways can Gore say he's not running? Besides, Webb JUST got in office!!

[Freeusfromthechurch]

4. I refuse to give up hope.

[Patchuli]

10. And you never should give up hope!

With the serious bs dished out to us in the past 12 years and especially in the last six, we need a huge change. I would not be a bit surprised.

Gore just doesn't want to play the media's game and I seriously think he's playing them.

[Monty_]

5. well...

Nick Saban said he wouldn't be the coach at Alabama more than Gore said he isn't running

[evlbstrd]

7. Welcome to DU.

He can say "I'm not running." He hasn't said that. There's still enough politician left in him to know how to play the game. Wait until after the Academy Awards and the publication of his new book, "Assault on Reason." There's no reason for him to rush into it and every reason for him not to.
By the way, Eisenhower was drafted.

[DesertRat]

15. it's still early n/t

[ms liberty]

16. He has not definitively ruled it out...and until he does, we will hope. n/t

[patrice]

6. I could go for that.

[demnan]

8. Hell, not much

but something tells me that Jim Webb wouldn't be a good Vice anything, he'd have to be the real deal, cause that's what he is.

[ContraBass Black]

9. So, all of a sudden, he's a presidential candidate?

Hell, I campaigned for him, and even I don't think much of that idea.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Everybody's a presidential candidate here

as soon as they do something impressive. You haven't noticed that about DU yet? :D

[beaconess]

13. And then they get attacked by supporters of other candidates for not having enough "experience"

[Crunchy Frog]

14. I've never yet seen Stephen Colbert or Keith Olbermann get attacked

for not having enough experience. :D

[Crunchy Frog]

11. If the Dems don't pull it together for '08

I could see myself supporting Webb in '12.

[benEzra]

17. Heck yes...but this might be a bit soon.

He's barely been seated in Congress yet.

Having said that, Webb is one of my favorites on the national scene.

[windbreeze]

18. Are we really so needy, that

the minute one man makes a speech that stands out, we think he should run for president...it makes my heart hurt, that we appear so desperate for viable candidates, or A viable candidate...I notice this more and more, and wonder if it's a sort of sickness we are suffering from...please do NOT take this wrong...there is nothing wrong with Gore or Webb...just making an observation about something that worries me just a little...
