SPOTTED OWLBORE ALERT: Channel anger, says Gore, and elect Democrats

2,000 is all they could draw to a $15 a ticket event. That might be the tickets sold count, but is that the actual number that were there? They showed video on WKRN and the shots were tight, which usually means the crowd is sparse. 2,000 for a State wide event is a low number I would think. Holding the event in Clarksville a small city was rather silly too.

Guess Algore forgot that he lost Tennessee...

[yoe]

Gore is still the arrogant socialist numb skull he has always been; nothing he does or says will ever change that. What scares the heck out of me is that in those TN hills lives and breathes people who would put party over common sense and principal. Al Gore is no more presidential material than was Bill Clinton, they did nothing in 8 long years, just lied that they had and cooked the books on the economy. Has he said anything other than use the rhetoric he used in 2000? No and he has no new ideas or better ones. The agenda is the same...welfare; keep the nation dependant on welfare; that is the Democratic creed.

The Volunteer state is too smart to fall for this doctor selling Snake Oil, can they really want to see their sovereignty sold to the United Nations? That is just what Algore would do with America!

spotted owl is having $$ problems, he had to delay paying his staff and cancel several out of state fund raisers...seems he is NOT drawing the high $$ that slick is. spotted owl has been AOWL here in Tennessee politics since losing the election to W.

Canidates like clement run a risk of having him campaign for them. clement is trying hard to run from the center or slightly to the right of it....hmm does that mean that they consider Tennessee a " conservative" state???

So far lamar is leading the polls, and he is avoiding Gov spendquist like he has the Black Plaque.

Clarksville had 103,455 people in the 2000 census. The people they quoted, except for one Democrat politician, were all from elsewhere (Nashville, Franklin, Ashland City). Gore carried Robertson Co. and Davidson Co. (Nashville) in 2000 and narrowly lost Cheatham Co. and Montgomery Co. (Clarksville)--in those four counties there were 150,000 people who voted for him in 2000. Even if you subtract the ones who have moved since the election or were already dead in November 2000, not very many of them were eager to see Al Gore in person.

Oooh, neat.

[mewzilla]

So what's Mr. Environmentalist driving to all his appearances? Bet it ain't a compact...

[FryingPan101]

Oooooh noooo. Not "cut their pay and send 'em home" Lamar. Oh well.

The last time a Dem "channeled" something was when Hillary talked to the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt during her reign in the WH.

This story is about on the par of that in importance.

This is a familar tactic among Dems to get out the black vote, the oppressed woman vote, the gay rights groups, whatever. Using anger and alleged grievances seems to be what motivates their core when nothing else will.

The Dems are hyperventilating again. There must be something good in this for Republicans.

This is their bottom line and if they are using it this early than their internal polling must be really really bad.

Uh, you are aware that Algore didn't carry Tennessee in 2000, right? Tennessee (unfortunately) is the state Algore calls home, but we gave our 11 electoral votes to GWB. We know he's a nutcase. Perhaps you should direct your critisim to Floriduh........

"This just shows you how much support you've got," Dallas Morgan of Nashville told Gore.

2,000 people who were brought out for the barbeque and beer in an entire state?

He's still angry? Good, I hope an ulcer started the same time as the election. I also noticed that he's not teaching that class where he wasn't acredited.

I think the real anger started when he realized that for eight years he was second to a rapist pervert and he had to sit back and watch it.

Rats # 1 issue.

WE WUZ ROBBED

[Balding_Eagle]

Go to DU. Those people are still livid over the election! Boy, talk about misplaced anger.

That what happens when your party has NO vison.

From time to time they begin to list 'their positive vison for the future', and it usually ends up being an attack on Bush.

[cubreporter]

Al Bore..."there he goes again."

[Steve0113]

You mean there are actual, red-blooded Americans out there who are still angry about that and not about 9/11?

Nope. These are Democrats.

[GailA]

You forgot Shelby Co...or should I say Memphis voted enmass for spotted owlbore. The County residents voted for W.
