The core of our problems right there, in a nut shell. The writer feels that rats, in general, know what's best for everyone and aren't timid about transforming their "mother knows best" attitude into policy either.
I'd rather see Gore run on his own ability/virtue (if he's got any that is) than see the rats keep him from running just to spare his feelers.

Along those lines, I had the misfortune to hear some audio clips Rush played today of supporters and reporters comments after Gore spoke, and the toadying, worshipful tone of them was sickening. Especially from the reporters- they talked like they were speaking about some minor God come to earth. They were excited, for God's sake!
