How about Gore/Clark?

Super serial guys!

How about Gore/Clark?

No.  Wesley Clark is a horrible person.

But I'm growing more and more confident Gore will run.  He's dropping anecdotes to that effect.

[Moooooo]

A ticket like Gore/Vilsack or Gore/Richardson could be strong.  I dunno' though.  Part of me thinks Al Gore would be a great CANDIDATE, and the other part thinks he blew it when he grew a beard and aligned himself with MoveOn.org

two psychos on one ticket?

[Nym90]

Gore would be a strong candidate, though not the strongest possible nominee.

How about no.

Gore/Schweitzer. Or Gore/Brad Henry. Fingers crossed. These tickets'd kick ass.

Gore/Schweitzer. Or Gore/Brad Henry. Fingers crossed. These tickets'd kick ass.

I think he'll have the good sense to choose someone more reasonable than Brad Henry or Lieberman. Schweitzer is a definite long shot.

[opebo]

The VP doesn't really matter (though I would recommend Mark Pryor, Blanche Lincoln, or possibly Bredesen, preferring as always Russ Feingold) - Gore would cruise to re-election like this:

[TomC]

Nelson, after his very impressive reelection this year would be a good VP, and make Gore seem a little more exciting in comparison. I don't think Schweitzer, whom I like, nor Henry would make good veep nominees. And I think Richardson might, although he'd be a better veep for just about anybody else. I think with Gore the scnadal he faced in the Clinton admin would have a little more staying power.

Lincoln would be great. Bredesen could not run with Gore for constitutional reasons. Rahm Emmanuel would make an interesting, energetic choice. Sebellus from Kansas might be good. Maybe Evan Bayh, but I could hear the chants now: "Bayh, Bayh Gore." Warner too, but that's a little too white Southern male.

If Gore runs he won't win, and besides, he won't make it past the Dem primary.

[opebo]

If Gore runs he won't win, and besides, he won't make it past the Dem primary.

Nonsense, he would win big on the massive wave of revulsion over the last 8 years, and the public's fondness for the better days prior to 2000.

By better days prior to 2000, do you mean a return to a sleaze Presidency where the President initiates illicit sex in the Oval Office with someone half his age?

Try Peace and Prosperity. Better one intern than the whole country.

Well said.  Both President Bush and President Clinton have lied in some fashion.  As countless others have pointed out, lying about lude conduct is the lesser of two evils when compared to lying about the motives behind the use of our military.

You poor sap, do you really think that the typical american voter, experiencing a plummeting standard of living, inflation, and a disasterous war,  looks back with anything but fondness to that event?

The thing is is that none of the prosperity was from Gore or Clinton. It was the Republican Congress of the time. Gore's gone crazy after the 2000 election, now if he hadn't he might have a chance.

Opebo, buddy, only the most depraved, debauched, dissolute, licentious, lascivious, lewd, lubricous, profligate, and promiscuous of American voters would look back on that event with "fondness."

opebo actually has a point.

Most Amercians, or at least a good amount of them, are pining for the mid-1990s prosperity under Clinton.  (You can flittle over the details all you want)

If Gore can run as the 'return to Clinton era' candidate, he has a shot.

No, it was from Clinton's 1993 economic package, which passed without literally a single Republican vote in either the Senate or House.

It wasn't just the stimulus package, and it wasn't just Clinton, bt it certainly wan't just the Republican Congress.

Both sides, in part because of compromise, in part because of disagreement, the budget deficit was eliminated. That was a huge boost to long term market prospects. The mass introduction to the internet certainly didn't hurt.

If fiscal responsibility and reassuring long term markets helps prosperity, Bush didn't learn the lesson. He's gioven tax cuts that are good for certain sectors of the economy, but meaningless to a large part of it.

But I was rsponding to a least common demominator, the notion that Clinton getting a blowjob had anything to do with anything, except that the GOP congress felt it was more important to respond to than anything having to do with the rest of the nation. I guess you could say at least the GOP congressmen were too busy to run up deficits, so maybe Monica Lewinsky did save us a hundred billion dollars. Those were the days.

[MarkWarner08]

Gore lost in 2000 because of Bill Clinton.

Clinton's brilliant strategy of Triangulation blurred the differences between Democrats and Republicans which helped Ralph Nader make his case in 2000.

Clinton also angered the evangelicals with the Lewinsky scandal.

Poor Gore was too confused whether to run to the left of a "Democratic" President who supported welfare reform, a balanced budget and free trade or to run to the center.

I'm one of those who believes Gore's "People vs. the Powerful" them helped  him surge in the closing day of the '00 election. If he runs in '08, he'll follow the path of Nixon and win.

[Speed of Sound]

Seriously Gore: Run. Run like youve never ran before. Do whatever it takes to ensure Clinton's loss of the nomination. And if you can grab it in the process wonderful. Just stop her, no-one else can.
