Re: How exactly does a successful person justify voting for Al Gore?
Eric,
I'll give it a shot, even though I'm not sure at this moment who I'd vote for. GW is the obvious choice for the short term, but this doesn't mean I'd vote for him.
In my opinion, whoever gets elected is likely to get "Hoovered". (check your history for what he inherited)
I think the market is due for some serious bad times. It could come tommorrow or two years from now. I'm not sure of the exact timing, but I'm convinced it will be in the next 4 years, regardless of who gets the presidency. In my opinion, whichever party wins this presidency will lose it in 2004 because the market will have tanked. So goes the economy, so goes the presidency.
For that reason alone, I would rather have Gore take the fall now. This will pave the way for a Republican candidate in 2004.
In a perfect world, Jesse "the body" Ventura will run for president in 2004. Hopefully, it will be a respectable ticket. If so, I can't see how they would lose as the reform party is the best parts of both the Democrats and the Republicans. When you listen to people complain about both of the two major parties, the faults all seem to point to some kind of middle ground, which is the Reform party. I honestly think if the Body would be running right now with Colin Powell, he would win. If you've never heard him speak in person, this may be hard to understand. He's not some joke of an ex-pro wrestler, he actually knows what's going on.
