Should there be a "Draft Gore" movement ?
Edited on Mon Aug-01-05 01:33 PM by kentuck
Even if he doesn't run, do you think we should push that he be drafted? If you think he is the best candidate, would that not make sense? If there was an undecided and deadlocked convention, between Hillary, Clark, or whomever else might decide to run, would not Al Gore be the perfect compromise candidate? And would not that be the first step in restoring justice to our country after the theft of 2000?

1. I'd rather draft Bill Moyers
Presidential elections are nothing more than a popularity contest, and I think we would do better with someone from outside the political arena who can speak in plain language to the American people.

Not that I dislike Gore.

10. 3 more years of this Bu$hit
and people will be thinking of the good old days of 90's and how F'd up the Republicans made the nation. Gore has distanced himself from the DLC crowd since 2000. The DLC was Clinton's think, Gore was just associtated with it. Gore is a strong environmentalist and would be a strong advocate for Renewable Energy, Global Warming, 2 crisises that Bu$h has ignored and made worst. I am hoping that the Iraq War is not as much of an issue in 3 years (and I really hope that a war in Iran is not an issue at all.).

5. God, man, Why?
I've greatly disliked Al Gore since I found out he existed in 1988.
If he got the nomination, I would abstain from voting for president.

13. Why?
What made you dislike the guy in 88? What made you not grow to like the guy by 2000? OR afterward?

I mean. I can see not loving him, but 'greatly disliking'?

Methinks thou art on the wrong board.

9. Gore is the best available person on the planet to be President
of the U.S. On the other hand, he can not be elected.

I would vote for him. Experienced, intelligent, articulate, anti war
Too bad there are people who feel like no. 5. I find their opinions inconclusive.
