I just don't see it happening
As much as I have been trying to help breach the chasm between our two camps, and, yes, I'm aware that the wounds are fresh and still bleeding, I am not hopeful that we can close the wounds and get the scars to begin healing by summer in order to overcome the Republican machine.
In light of this revelation and knowing that our country cannot stand another term under the Bush Doctrine, I would ask only that every single one of us consider whether we would not truly be a better country for it if we were to push the party hard for a Gore draft at the convention. I know there are some who have the notion that Hillary could run as an independent and take the general election, but, that idea is totally unrealistic. And, it is not likely that Barack could take it in a three-way race, either, which would leave us with a split party facing McCain and an extremely jubilant, rejoicing Republican party rising once again from the ashes. I can see, in my mind, the Republicans, like the beast who was mortally wounded and came back to life, as in Revelations. It would then go on to take us into wars not yet envisioned by the more sane people in our country, leading us to total ruin and bankruptcy, and not just financially.
As for my support until now of Obama, while I would definitely love to see the programs implemented that he has envisioned and publicly announced, I am slowly, but, increasingly uncertain that he is the man to accomplish those goals. And Hillary's plans for universal health care leave me cold. No matter what arguments her supporters may put forth on behalf of that program, their arguments are filled with misconceptions and do not agree with how she has stated the plan is going to work. Hillary presents no other proposal for her term of office that delineates her from any other politician. Every candidate wants to have us believe that they will give us better schools, a tax structure that is more fair, a more prosperous economy, and a more secure nation. Yawn.
So, for my part, I will be doing whatever I can to make the Gore draft a reality. I don't care who he chooses as a running mate, though I would like to see him choose one of the final three that we had selected, including Edwards, if he would have it.

What was your MOS? I had 2: 92B, and 31N. OH...wait... maybe you were brass. I was just one of the regular pukes. *L*
I say, GO GORE!
the repubs would play it down as well, and shows us as a party that could not get themselves together and had to have someone save us from ourselves.
i do feel that Al should make a statement, which is not outside of the realm of possibilities.
heck, it definetly can't hurt.
it's gonna be alright.
But if Gore would take along any one of the candidates that are fighting to take down these empires of money houses and remove Big Government from the White House and insill the values back into the families...this would bring over a million more votes back to the table.
This list may be available to you, depending on whether you are a long-time member here. To the newer members, I apologize in advance, but we have too many who are NOT Democrats and I will not allow those to undermine this effort. My country is too important to me to stand by and watch as the Republicans seek to destroy it entirely.
Will you show intelligence? OR will loyalty blind you to the truth?
Glore/Edwards,
Clinton/Gore
Edwards/Gore: Any of these will do! Yeah! Let's go for it.
To say anything negative about this man get you labled as racist or just downright unpatriotic. Sounds a bit like the defense that was mounted for Mr. Bush during his first four years.
Having said that, it appears he has been given carte balanc to do and say what he pleases. His sweetie comment was out of line and totally sexist, but the general opinion is: It's OK, because Barack Obama said it.
Well guess what? IT IS NOT OK. We teach everyday in the work place it is not, now we excuse it from a man who may be elected the next leader of this country. Whats wrong with this picture. WE NEED TO EXAMINE THIS ISSUE and ALL CURRENT, FUTURE AND FORMER VERY CLOSLEY
