Obviously they weren't Gore's remarks, but the characterization is an apt description of something I have come to loathe, the politicians who talk down to us and tell us what's important why we should sign up for their righteous crusade. Bush says we have to cut taxes and fight terrorists and (implicitly) put aside pretty much everything else as a priority. Gore is making big noises about an environmental trend that is probably a serious issue but far from 100% proven or clear.

More important, Gore's agenda doesn't focus on ASKING the centrist voter what they want and need right now. I'd like to find a candidate who was more interested in meeting people's needs and addressing people's concerns instead of waving their banners in my face and expecting me to stand up and cheer. Poor Bush can't figure out why the people who used to like him think he is out of touch and going in the wrong direction. When does he ever interact with the voters he lost and communicate with them instead of just "staying on message"?

Just my personal reaction to the latest Gore show. I never liked the guy that much in the first place, I will also admit. I stand by my view that the Dems will do better not to nominate anyone named Clinton/Kerry/Gore in 2008.
