I’m not saying it will happen but who knows? The Clintons are the Democrat establishment. Because Hillary is far enough ahead in the polls she is already moving back to the “center”—at least the “center” in their orientation—because that is the posture she needs to win the general election.

Clinton thinks she can disregard the left, who continue to criticize her, because in November 2008 the left won’t vote Republican and she will attract swing votes as a “moderate.” Gore would come into the race to the left of Hillary but as a more electable candidate than Obama or Edwards. Gore has already established a grassroots network based on “global warming” with millions of e-mail addresses. The free publicity he has gotten in the last three years is worth millions. If he gets the peace prize Friday his star rises higher.

Of course no Democrat can get nominated or elected without the news media, most of whom get their direction from the New York Times.
