Gore should run in 2016

[ecstatic]

While I don't support a lot of her actions, I really do feel that it is Senator Clinton's time. She has so much experience and it is really time for a woman president in this country. Women make up 50% or more of this country and deserve a say in how this country is run.

If Gore were to get in now, he'd have little or no support from blacks (in the primaries). He might split the Hispanic vote a little bit. And then you have those voters who are elated about the possibility of a woman or racial minority taking the White House--they might view his entry into the race as a slap in the face. So who, really, can Gore count on if he enters the race now? A few dozen fed up bloggers combined with conservative Dems who are not ready for a change in the look of the President?

My advice to Gore? Get to the back of the line. If I'm around in 2016 I will gladly support a Gore/ Obama presidency.

1. All that and the fact that the polar ice will be GONE by 2016

:P

2. Gore would make a good Secretary of Energy.

3. All the experience in the world and being a woman

doesn't matter a bit if you are bought and paid for by corporations...


I want a woman President as much as anyone BUT not THIS WOMAN

5. That's a valid point.

Her "experience" is showing when you look at her positions.

4. This sounds like a joke.

"She has so much experience?" At what? Most of the candidates have been in elected government longer than her. Richardson has way more practical experience than Hillary does. What she does have is that she's the wife of a president. That's the big differentiator.

BTW, if Gore entered now he'd raise around $30 million in a month, not a quarter. Lots of experienced political hands would jump ship and join his campaign. But ultimately this is bullshit because he's not running.

6. Gore would be 68 by then and too old

8. If he takes good care of himself, it certainly won't be too late nt
