BREAKING NEWS: Gore will endorse Howard Dean!

[Q Classic]

hold your horses.

don't you think it was rather nasty of lieberman to keep campaigning for the senate while gore made him his running mate?

how does that speak of confidence in your man?

don't tar gore for doing this without pointing a finger at lieberman too.

[Boris Godunov]

Good point, Q.

Yeah, that he'll endorse someone whom he shares more political beliefs with. Dean is much more akin to Gore in his stances than Lieberman.

Gore is probably also thinking about the trend (Dean emerging as front runner) and trying to unify the Democrats early behind one candidate to avoid the damage of a bitter primary season. The sooner a victorious candidate can emerge, the less scathed he will be. Since Lieberman already has 0% shot at getting the nomination, backing the clear front runner would make total sense in this regard.

Oh, wait I forgot--all Democrats must be evil, rotten people. Why not just have bot post "Democrats suck!" instead of bothering to post, Ned?

Boris -- I'm a Democrat, but even I can see that Gore is obviously playing political games that involve some backstabbing to SOME extent?? I mean, isn't that what it basically is -- political hard dealing?

I'm not sure -- but for some reason, I can't completely agree with Gore's actions right now.

[Boris Godunov]

But you're also spineless.

What backstabbing? Wherein is Gore obligated to endorse Leiberman? As Q pointed out, Leiberman's loyalty to Gore wasn't exactly inspiring.

Hard as I try, I cannot converse with Boris without receiving an uncalled for insult.

Were you born a b*tch, Boris -- or is just that the snobbery of New York has completely infiltrated your brain?

Oh, but no hard feelings, right?

Lieberman is in the right wing of the Democratic party, while Gore and Dean are in the center the Democratic party. Why shouldn't Gore endorse Dean?

[Shi Huangdi]

I wonder if this will actually have any impact. I don't know if there are really any passionate "Gore Democrats" who are going to change their minds because of this. Still it will help Dean if at least some of the Democratic establishment is backing him.

A cyncial persepctive on this would be that Gore wants the Democrats to lose in 2004, so he can run for Pres in 2008.

How can you tell? Both Dean and Gore change stances more often than they change shirts...

[Q Classic]

i still think we should reserve any sort of pity for lieberman.

politics is usually a ***-for-tat game. lieberman had the first, er, bit.

See, MrFun can't take a joke. And then he resorts to his typical Regionist bigotry. If he isn't bashing the South, it's New York. This from someone who's from Iowa, for christ's sake!

If you're going to joke with a troll how about if you make it a GOOD one?

[Boris Godunov]

I figured you get enough trolls in your sex life, I could spare you that here.

[Q Classic]

psst. he's calling you spineless because you don't have a huge imperial helmet...
