We need Al Gore in 2008! Thoughts and comments wanted!
Edited on Sun Jun-19-05 03:22 PM by Jackson4Gore
Hey guys, with all this talk about Biden, Hillary, and all the rest running in 2008, I wanted to remind everyone who the real President is: Al Gore! He has stood up against this regime from day one and everything he said during the 2000 campaign has come into fruition. He really is the statesman of our time.

Please join us in our effort to convince Al to run in 2008. He has the most experience, the most knowledge, and is most respected out of any potential candidate. We need him.

I would also like to get your input on a Gore 2008 candidacy, would you support it?

You can join our site by going here: http://s8.invisionfree.com/Al_Gore_Support/index.php?act=Reg&CODE=00

You can send Al Gore a letter by getting the info here: http://algore2008.net/contactal.html

Do what you can! Tell him we need him in 2008!

I appreciate any help!

Chris D. Jackson

3. Too late although I would vote for him again if he were our
candidate. But I think we need someone more dynamic, someone who will tell it like it is and let the chips fall where they may. It's got to be someone who doesn't have skeletons either.

But I'll vote for Hillary any way if she's the candidate.

6. In the past fifty years, there has been only one...
... nominated Democratic candidate for President who lost to a Republican who's run a second time for that office--Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and 1956, and that was probably an object lesson for the Democratic Party.

History is instructive here. The Democratic Party establishment, unlike the Republicans, doesn't see failed candidates as prime material for future runs at the same office.

Gore would make a reasonably good candidate, don't get me wrong. But machine politics being what they are in this country, don't get your expectations too high for it happening.

8. That would be fine with me.
Although there are a couple of others who I would probably support first. Nevertheless, I'd definately support Gore again. He would make a good Prez. and party leader, though I'm sure some people will be here soon to put him down.

9. I think he has found his nich in life - being a passionate enviromentalist
Just like Dean has found what is best for him. As disappointed as I was by Dean' loss, I now realize he is better for the party as the CHirman.

The same for Al GOre. I think he is better for the party and the nation - and his own happiness - to continue doing the things he is doing now and pursuing the things that interest him - such as a TV station.

12. I liked the new Gore after he lost.
I'd support him depending on who else runs and how he acts this time. That's a nice picture of you with a Republican in your second sig pic.

14. Yeah, the Al Gore remix would get my vote if he got the nomination
Too early to tell.

Interesting to see who the players are gonna be for the '08 contest.

I think the primary system used last time is full of crap... California hadn't even cast votes and the field was being weeded out.

No offense, New Hampshire and Iowa, but who made y'all the definitive choosers of party leadership??

15. No thanks
I'll take Lincoln/Warner 2008 instead!!!!

Gore needs to focus on getting Current TV popularized and mainstreamed across the country, so television viewers have a viable alternative to Faux News.

16. I posted my thoughts in the "Dem's best in '08" thread, but
if he's interested--why the heck not? Knowing what I now know about him, he's just as good as anyone else we have to offer.

19. Gore blew it when he told Clinton to stay out of his campaigning
when I recall Gore campaigning I thought, great, two losers to choose from. only in america. Although Bush ended up being nothing short of tyrannical.

21. I love respect and admire Al Gore - and he did fight in 2000
I think we/he fought a great fight, I personally believed that he won, and I think he threw in the towel when he had to. He's now had time outside of the process and I think he is new, improved, and sincere. I think Al Gore has re-discovered passion ( I say re-discovered, because I will always remember crying when he and Clinton stood outside the statehouse in Arkansa when they were first elected and I thought we had been delivered from the evil of Bush I. I think the ensuing years sucked it right out of him, and who can blame him.)

Al Gore is a powerful figure in his own right and now is his time to stand unshaded by the Clintons. People will always try to drag him down with the Clinton association - I think he should just say "I was vice-president then and I was in a support position but now I am running in a primary position as an independent candidate without the cloak of incumbency - I will only discuss what I think about the issues of today." I would definitely support Al Gore if he ran.

22. The Party Bosses don't like Gore...
...because he wants Corporate Accountability. Thus...they won't allow him to get anywhere near the White House.
