Yeah, he screwed up. He wanted to get out from under Clinton's shadow. But, my friend, you're wrong. It was not all his fault. Not by a long shot.

Not much time today for anything but an initial flurry of links... but:And that's just the stuff I can think of off the top of my head. If you want, wait till Sunday afternoon, when I'll have more time, and I'll break out the big guns ( ... )

Thank you.
Truthfully, I'm tired of arguing the point.
Yes, Gore did get the majority of votes.
That makes him president.
Period.
I'll say he allowed the election to be stolen by not following through with a full recount of Florida.
That was HIS error.
On the other hand, the Democrats had never dealt with the likes of Carl Rove before.
And, unless they are prepared in 2008 I see the same result.

Hm. Couple of points, if you must:

First, I've wanted him in the race since way before he started accumulating hardware (Emmy, Oscar, and Nobel, so far).

Second, those things don't qualify him, by themselves. They do raise his profile ( ... )

Obama/Clinton

Gore/Clinton

That second one's actually got a bit of a ring to it. Familiar, predictable, downright comfortable in a 'you know what to expect' kind of way.

Either way, at least it won't be Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton, Clinton. I don't care who's side you're on, that'd be jes' wrong. Especially if Jeb were to run and win after Hillary adding two more Bush entries to the end of the list.

Aren't there any other dynasties in America (The Kennedy's are finished for now and probably for good) capable of leading as well as wanting to lead?

I'm ready to vote for Nadar just to break things up.
