Will Al Gore run?

Dude, Zombie Reagan/Gore 2108 would be an awesome ticket!

You know, he might be waiting to see how the other candidates do. If one of the front-runners manages to implode, it might be a good time to step in and whatnot. Otherwise, this race is really very competitive already.

I think so too. Gore is probably not sure himself yet whether he'll run or not. If a good opportunity comes, like Victor says, I'd bet he steps in.

It strikes me of the Mario Cuomo hesitate and lose the opportunity strategy ala Primary Colors.

Gore's not going to have a chance to jump in later. Hillary is unbeatable...

What many conservatives regard as the nightmare scenario -- President Hillary Rodham Clinton -- is increasingly seen by veteran Republican politicians and strategists as a virtual inevitability.

In GOP circles, the Democratic front-runner is seen as so strong, and the political climate for Republicans so hostile, that many influential voices -- including current and former lawmakers, and veterans of President Bush's campaigns -- have grown despairing. These partisans describe a political equivalent of the stages of grief, starting with denial, then resentment and ending with acceptance.

For now, these Republicans say the party needs good luck, including a change of fortune in Iraq, and a revival of organization and leadership in the conservative movement to avert another Clinton presidency.

"If the conservative movement and Republicans don't understand how massive the Clinton coalition is, she will be the next president," former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said in an interview last week, after giving a private talk to GOP lawmakers. Clinton will win, he added, "if we don't use everything available to us and motivate our base, the people that believe in us."

Hillary

[SlowwHand]

I don't see him running.

[Thedrin]

Is there anything in the constitution preventing him from being vice president again? I don't think it'll happen but I could see him angling for a cabinet post under the next President.

Hillary, like shrub jr, strikes me as everything that is wrong with American politics today. The sense of entitlement where offices are passed around from father to son or from husband to wife, the arrogant inside the beltway set who run things because they've rigged the system in their favor, the endless flip-flopping and double speak where they say one thing then do the opposite, and the fact that once these ticks worm their way in they're practically there for life.

I wish they'd have all the Washington insiders gather together for one giant photograph and then have a metor crash and kill them all. That would do wonders for our country.

Gosh, Oerdin!

[Drake Tungsten]

All the right people hate Hillary.

[Zkribbler]

My guess is that Gore will "wait and see" until late in the campaign. He may pick up both an Oscar and the Nobel Peace Prize.

If a major "Stop Hillary," "Stop Edwards" "Stop Biden" movement, it can then draft Gore as its champion. and he can put a staff together from the remnence of the failed campaigns over fallen candidates.

[Dinner]

That would be sweet. It isn't like I think Gore is the best guy in the world but he seems to be the only one who could possibly beat Hillary. A Gore-Obama ticket could pick up the centrists and the liberals while avoiding the massive negatives Hillary brings to the table. An actual outsider would be better but no outsider will be able to beat Hillary now that she has more money then god.

But of course, God is clearly a Republican, don't you know?
