Al Gore will the the 2008 DemocRat nominee. Mark my words.
He is the only candidate who can unite the loony left moonbat wing of the DemocRat party with the pragmatic stealth-socialist Gramsciian/Clintonian wing.
Keep in mind that money is the mother's-milk of politics, and Al Gore has more than the rest of the candidates combined, thanks to his Google options. And it's all personal money, and it's on top of daddy's considerable Occidental Petroleum bag-money. So there are no strictures to how he spends it.
And he doesn't have to spend it. He's about to get an Oscar and quite possibly a Nobel Peace Prize. He gets all the media attention he wants. He keynotes at geekfests and he bloviates on Oprah. He's fresh off of six years of conditioning and practice and image-building. No more awkward Al. No more image-of-the-week Al: khaki Al, earth-tones Al, roll-of-quarters-stuffed-in-his-briefs Al, roid-rage Al, painted harpy Al. No: Heroic Al. Visionary Al. Right-all-along Al.
Just watch, as the DemocRat primary turns into a circular firing squad and he floats above the fray. Just watch, as der Hildebeast limps into the convention, bloodied and battered and tattered and tired. Just watch, as Heroic Al rides in on a white horse to seize the nomination by acclimation. Just watch, as he chooses Eliot Spitzer, "Mr. Anti-Corruption", as his running-mate, signaling a clean break from the seaminess of the Clinton years.
He'll be unstoppable. Heroic Al.
Just watch.
