Gore failed in 2000 not just because he was cheated, but because he lacked balls. That's true too. I wish there was an obvious choice. It will help if Rove is really out of the race. It's just my impression that Gore has the edge on competence, and if Bush Jr. has taught us anything it is that competence in leadership matters. Kerry still fills my inbox with drivel. It all looks like it was written by a focus group. I don't want a focus group, I want someone to end the madness. Gore at least is looking to the future, which means environment and economy and not just investigations. TP

Gore is going to run, now that he made 100s of millions off of Google. Gee, he made about as much as the retiring chairman of Exxon. But it took Lee Raymond 41 years to get $400 million and a significant portion of that was from his personal investment in Exxon stock over the decades and ESOP. Gore did it in less than 5 years. I guess that's called "political pull." And he didn't have to spend a lifetime helping to build a company either. Ah well, I guess you better attack Al Gore now because he is a filthy rich capitalist and he needs to pay most of those millions to the needy (which is anyone who has a net worth less than he has). Better start attacking him now. If you don't, you're a hypocrite. :)
