Will Gore Rescue The Democrats?

by

Many of us loyal Corner readers know that John Derbyshire first made the “Gore to the Rescue” prediction back in May of 2007.

Keep in mind, his prediction was before the current Clinton-Obama near-deadlock; before Rev. “God Damn America” Wright; before the Iraq Surge was successful; before Michigan & Florida thrust millions of Democratic voters into no-mans land.

I’m increasingly of the mind that Derb is onto something.  Let’s look at it logically:  The policy positions of Clinton and Obama are nearly identical — both advocate increased government spending and control and decreased individual freedom and free enterprise market-based solutions.

Aside from semantics, their proposals from healthcare to education to Iraq are only separated by a hair.   The real decision is who is most electable and likable for Democrats.  (Cuz God forbid they vote by the issues and for what is best for America.)

So, with Al Gore having already successfully saved Planet Earth from Global Warming (TM), perhaps he can come to the rescue of Democrats fighting amongst themselves.  And, since Gore has no problem bashing his nation overseas and adhering to the most radical and dangerously naive Leftist outlooks of the World, he would make the perfect post-Osama bin Laden candidate for the Donkey Party.
It is being talked about more and more by the Chattering Class…. so I figured it was post-worthy today.

Gore 2008 — That’s No April Fools Joke!

  1. I’m thinking Algore and Cher as the ticket. They each have just one name. Each is famous for being famous. One is ox and the other is botox. One is a dope that blows smoke and the other smokes dope and blows. One invents a body of "truth" and the other just invents a "body." Together, they could come up with a real half-wit agenda for America. And the campaign theme song possibilities are limitless. Hillary could be made the Commissioner of Roller Derby and Obama could be the Ambassador to Cirque Soleil. Randy Jackson at Secretary of State, Paula Abdul at Defense, Ryan Seacrest as National Security Advisor and Simon Cowell could be on call in case someone has need of an adult opinion.

  2. Here is my fear if that happens, McCain will have a much harder fight on his hands. Since Gore hasn’t run in this race, he’ll be perceived as a Sir Galahad, and all those disgusted Dems will come out and vote for him. He might even get some of that elusive youth vote, since he’s all about saving the planet.

    And he is just like our narcissistic youth, he talks the talk, but can’t be bothered to walk the walk.

  3. I’m not buying it.
    If anyone other than Obama is nominated at this point, the Dems will lose the black vote almost completely.
    If they try to push Obama to the second place on the ticket ("Back of the Bus"…you heard that here first) it would be a disaster.
    You’ve got a demographic that has been taught to react with a victim mentality.  That’s not going to change.

    Sir Lancelot: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
    Sir Galahad: I don’t think I was.
    Sir Lancelot: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
    Sir Galahad: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
    Sir Lancelot: No, it’s too perilous.
    Sir Galahad: Look, it’s my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
    Sir Lancelot: No, we’ve got to find the Holy Grail. Come on.
    Sir Galahad: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?
    Sir Lancelot: No. It’s unhealthy.
    Sir Galahad: I bet you’re gay.
    Sir Lancelot: Am not.

  7. No, I do not think that Algore is going to come to the rescue. Number one, the Clintons will not allow it. Number two, he could not sucssesfully steal an election in Florida in 2000. He was a loser then and would be an even bigger loser now. BTW, where all all the areas of the United States that had record snowfall this past winter?

  10. Al’s political career is over. First of all, he’s making FAR too much money from Apple and Google ($300 million I read), secondly, he doesn’t need a Jeremiah Wright, he delivered his very own psychotic sermon, and lastly, he wouldn’t dare run again, he might actually have to debate man-bear-pig, er I mean global warming.

  11. You know the Gore scenerio isn’t that far fetched. Remember Frank Lautenberg rescuing the Democrat Party in NJ when corruption charges forced their Senator out of the  race like a month before the election. These Dems really have no rules or regs. It is whatever pleases them at the time. Kind of like liberalism in general. I can see after spending 500 million to whittle the contest down to two people, them saying "never mind , we’ll let ALGORE take the nomination" And quite frankly, the Democrat voters will just shrug and figure "hey winning is everything, whatever it takes." To them it is the power. God can you imagine 4 years of Gore and his stiff overbearing posture.  I would like a first lady named Tipper  though.

  12. The Democrats think that if there is no clear winner in their primaries, that giving the nod to Al Gore the nomination will solve that? Adlai Stevenson was the last person to be a standard bearer twice for President and you know how that turned out.

    Are they trying to make sure the will of the people is heeded?

    In 2000 or 2008?

  14. Well let me ask you though, do you think in 8 years the leftists and Democrats have educated themselves on the Electorial College? So this time they won’t be surprised by the CONSTITUTION. It was so odd in 2000 to see them go…."what, what election colleges? we’ve been screwed, but Gore won the popular vote!!!!!"  GP needs to do a post on education in this country btw. I heard that there are places in America where half ,HALF the students in High School don’t graduate! Good lord no wonder conservatives have such a hard time achieving 100% domination.

  15. is anybody else imagining gore coming in to rescue the party and every democrat facepalming(if you don’t know what this means, place your palm on your forehead, you’ll figure it out) themselves when they realize they got rid of a black candidate and a female candidate for an old white man…

  16. 14.
    I remember hearing (I think it was Rush) that after 2000, the libs wanted to do away with the electoral vote and after 2004, Hillary and others wanted to do away with the popular vote.

    I’ll have to go back and see if I can find that.

  17. Actually TGC isn’t that a perfect description of the current Democrat Primary season?
    Hillary and Barack are gonna fix health care, Iraq, gasoline prices, bridge repairs, education, etc. But they can’t figure out a way to count all the votes in Michigan or Florida. Duhh
