Do the Democrats really NEED Gore?

Backers pressure Gore to run again next year
By Alexander Bolton

Former Vice-President Al Gore is coming under pressure from political supporters and friends to jump into the 2004 presidential campaign even though he ruled himself out in December.

Gore’s spokesperson denied that there was any change of plans, but a former Democratic National Committee official close to Gore told The Hill he believes the former vice president may enter the Democratic primary this fall.

A second Gore confidant, Steve Armistead, a local Tennessee government official, said: “I think he’d like to grit his teeth and jump back in, but I can’t speak for him. I don’t think he liked the medicine he got from the Supreme Court.”

Armistead, a good friend of Gore’s for more than 40 years, said Gore has not indicated to him whether he would run. But he added: “I’ve had a lot of people that know him real well tell me that he ought to get back in. I hear it daily. ‘He got out too soon.’ ‘I wish Al never got out of the race.’”

Talk of Gore joining the race could be a trial balloon to test the atmosphere for a 2004 White House run. Gore lost in 2000 to George W. Bush in an election finally decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The former DNC official, who was active in Gore’s 2000 campaign, said his prediction of another Gore campaign is based on more than a hunch. But he declined to offer specific evidence.

In my opinion, no, the Democrats need to get their act together, but I think we need to move on and not have Gore run.

I'd rather a skunk get the Presidency than Gore too, but since I think Gore's running just might elevate Bush's chances of re-election from likely to shoe-in, I say go for it Gore!!!

How could that give Bush a shoe-in for re-election if Gore chose to run?

What is that supposed to mean??? :o :wink:

:?

Yeah, Rainband pretty much had it right. I was just thinking that he probably wouldn't get a heck of a lot of votes. I could be wrong....I was shocked he got as many as he did in 2000. Forgive me, but I don't like it when people talk to me like I'm in the first grade. That's how he comes across.

LOL Kelly!! What I meant was it was a first that you did not explain what ya meant.

You left us hanging!! :lol:

It appears to this Georgia conservative that the DNC is in disarray and grasping at straws. I can just hear the phone call now...........

(A damsel in distress's voice cries out)
"Help Us Mister Gore"!!! "Please help us"...."Our hopes currently rest on Hillary Clinton and Al Sharpton". "For God's sake Mister Gore....please help us"!!!

(Gore's response...sung to the Dudley Do-Right theme song)
"Here I come to save the daaaaay"...... :lol:

I don't think the Democratic party is in as big of disarray as you might think. I think that we need to move on from Gore, however.

Southerngale, Lindaloo, and Rainband:
I thought that you said that what she thought that he understood about what she said that it was not what he meant about what she said the time before. Or something like that. Now I'm confused.

GORE! Hmmph!...
What is he good for?
Absolutely NOTHING!
AAAAL GORE! Hmmph! (Good God, y'all...)
What is he good for?
Absolutely NOTHING! (Sing it with me...)
