[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Actually, I see this as a cold calculation by the Tree to set up his own run in 2008. Even he knows Dean will get torched by Dubya next year, but by backing him now, he helps leverage the DNC away from his would-be opponent, Hitlery. The RAT race in 2008 is shaping up to be the mother of all blood feuds with Algore squaring off against the Clintons.

That is the MOST on the $$ post I've read in a very long time. This election cycle is just as much about the control of the DNC and the '08 election as it is the '04 election. I hope I'm right, but personally, I think the GOP has a chance for a landslide victory in '04....especially with Dean on the DNC ticket. The jockeying for position in the DNC is a sideshow that is going to get very interesting. Lots of colorful characters....vengance...gossip...all of which is going to make a superior 'soap-opera'. Let's sit back and enjoy the show.

Same thought here. 2008 will be the Dem battleground with two warring camps, one led by the Clintons, one by GoreDean.
