Hmmmm .. maybe this is why Gore looked so bad when he announced his endorsement of Dean

He knew he just committed suicide and the Clinton's won't forget it

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

The RATS civil war has begun. Dean/Algore versus the Clintons. This is going to be fun.

[Prodigal Son]

Man, I love it.

Still, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday that Clinton doubts Dean will be able to transform himself into a centrist candidate who can win votes in the Midwest and South...

And

Former White House chief of staff Leon Panetta told the Washington Times over the Thanksgiving weekend, "There clearly are concerns about Dean's ability to appeal to the entire country, particularly on national security issues."

I see these as indirect references to Wesley Clark being a better option in the Clintons' view.

The Clinton camp's anti-Dean blitzkrieg had one longtime Clinton watcher scratching his head. "If the Clintons want the Dems to lose next year so Hillary has a shot at an open seat in '08, they should be happy that Dean looks like a sure loser," he told NewsMax on background. "If that's the strategy, they should be boosting Dean, not bashing him."

Yeah and like he's not doing his part in bashing Dean with that statement there.

and I know, I get these calls all the time – call and bash on Dean," Democratic strategist Bob Beckel told Fox News

Bob, we all know what kind of phone calls you make and get. 1-900-Hot-Time

There's good sense in this article, although nobody really knows where Gore's brains are. Probably floating around on the planet Twilo, but he IS a politician, albeit a weird one. The Dean endorsement could be just another drift in his nebulous irrelevancy, or Gore's pretending to be a player this week and this is what real players tell him he should do to position himself and thwart Billary the Bicephalic Creature.
If I were Dean, I'd rather be kissed by Rappacini's daughter. This endorsement is likely to blight his candidacy, which is already thoroughly pocked by gay unions and deep-sixed records, pro-choice and foreign policy idiocy.
Gore, of course, still craves the presidency. He despises Clinton and can't ever say so unless he matches the accomplishment first. But does he want to run in 2004? He couldn't beat Bush before, he sure couldn't now.
Most likely, if he's doing a political thing, he's looking at Dean as a loser---"but he's MY loser."

I wonder if she's throwing ashtrays again.

[saveliberty]

Let's not get overconfident. This is a problem due to the new restrictions on criticizing candidates prior to an election or primary. This is how Brunhilda needs it--don't make her face dissent :(

She won't go on Fox, because she can't help herself from making herself look really bad.

[leprechaun9]

It seems strange to see the Democraps running a campaign from the Republican Campaign Practices Handbook!

[Timeout]

HillaryNow.com organizer Bob Kunst told the New York Sun he plans to run 60 television commercials in three New Hampshire cities this week on Sen. Clinton's behalf. ...it's not clear how Kunst was able to finance such a substantial media buy.

Not clear?! Yagottabekiddin'...this is the CLINTONS, silly boy.

"In another time, the Confederate-flag story would have taken him down the drain."

Nevermind another time, another party would be all it would take.

[Carolina]

Democratic National Committee Chairman and Clinton confidant Terry McAuliffe said Tuesday that "he was shocked" by Gore's decision to back the Vermont Democrat.

LOL! Clueless Terry.

[oyez]

"quick of lip, and quick of temper and stubborn."

That could go for most of the Democrats anyway and especially the crabby MS Clinton.

If hillary is not drafted at the convention[which I believe she will be]look for her to get in the race 59 days or less from election day.

Reason:The cfr is has been uphels and no ads can be taken out against her.

What if dean gets the nomination and resuses to step aside?

No problem, just add his name to the list that includes Vince Foster, Jim McDougal, Ron Brown, Paul Wellstone, and numerous clinton bodyguards.

In other words, she will do what the clintons do best and Alamo Girl will have a few more names to add to her list.

Personally, I believe that if one looks far enough into al gore's endorsement of dean you will find a clinton.

Reason: Early on gore was told to stay out of the '04 race and keep his mouth shut unless told to speak. That he has done up till now. Granted hillary/bill had cut off his money from the dnc but he stil had the media, Sunday morning talk shows, and the speech making route.

While gore is not genus material [except in his own mind and the media's] he is not altogether stupid. He is also not brave. So, why would he wave a red flag in front of the bull [bill and hillary]knowing what they do to people who tick them off or oppose them? He would not unless he either had permission or was told to do so.

Hitlery vs Gore. I'll put my bet on the HitleryBeast. May they both disappear.

[Semper Paratus]

It's all about control of the 'rat party. Will be long and bloody.
More entertaining than 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.

[arasina]

Sharpton, however, denied to MSNBC's "Hardball" that the top Democrat engaged in any Dean trashing. "President Clinton has not talked to me about a battle with the Gore[-Dean] gang. President Clinton and I, as he has with other candidates, talked about how you beat George Bush."

Doesn't anyone else find this hilarious? Why would X42 call Al "Not-A-Snowball's-Chance-In-Hell" Sharpton to talk about how to beat President Bush?

[Mike Darancette]

The Democrat Party is acting like a wild animal with it's foot caught in the "Howard Dean Trap", and now Hillary is attempting to gnaw that foot off.

If the Dean juggernaut is stopped via dirty tricks (and who among us believe that mischief will not be tried) the Democrat party will splinter (exit Dean/Gore wing" and be of no national consequence for a decade.

[Lucky2]

You've gotta figure that hillary's broom is in neutral right now, ashtrays are flying and the f-word in full force!Algore just screwed himself without a kiss! The clintons are not going to forget this and it will get ugly for algore. If I didn't dislike him as much as I do, I think I'd almost feel sorry for him.

[sweetliberty]

I just love how Hillary and her goons throw around the term "centrist." They don't get any furthur left than Hillary Clinton. The only difference is that she lies when it suits her purposes to conceal from her stump-dumb audiences that she would institute full-blown communism with her at the top of the hierarchy as absolute dictator if she could get away witrh it. After all, she is the only one who really knows what's good for you.< /sarcasm >
