COUNTING EVERY READER

Al Gore is said by associates to be surprised that his newest books on family aren't selling well. The pair of books co-written with wife Tipper Gore (one of them is a coffee-table book intended to serve as companion to the "heavier" tome) are apparently headed toward the remainder bin as bookstores move more popular and potential Christmas gift fare into the line of sight of customers.

"We aren't selling any," says a sales associate for Borders Books in Bethesda, Maryland. "And we thought given that this is kind of a political book and that it's by Gore that it would sell in this area."

It hasn't worked out that way. The audiences at Gore's book signings have been skimpy, and worse, those that do come to hear him haven't been buying the books. In San Francisco, Gore's appearances were met by crowds of people apparently rounded up by his former Northern California presidential campaign staff. "We were invited to come and cheer him on," says a former volunteer. "We were chanting, 'Gore in 2004,' and he loved it. But I wasn't going to buy the book."

The Gore books haven't yet cracked the New York Times bestseller list after more than three weeks in stores, an indication that it won't make the list. "They tried getting them [The Sunday New York Times Book Review] to list it as a book in the 'Bear in Mind' section, so at least it would make the page where the bestseller list is placed, but we couldn't even get that," says a former Gore aide. "It's another indication the public isn't buying Gore as a serious candidate in 2004."

The Prowler won't go so far. We see it as an indication that the American public is still in recovery from Earth in the Balance.

Howlin also saw it, among others. We were on a live thread about the convention, and were watching the C-SPAN coverage. Network people didn't get this treat! LOL!

[Always Right]

I am tempted to buy the book as I want Gore yo run in 2004.

He will have to re-do the kiss.....but the is time
in a hot tub...lol

[Republican Landslide]

Looking at Algore's screwed up family, why in the world would anybody listen to what he has to say on family matters?

[KQQL]

In 2000 Bore nearly won ...with that Fake Kiss.....

Lots of women went gaga for him......( remember that )..

But this time , his BS will not work ,,,,because of 9-11 , W's leadership////etc

[KQQL]

Next stop the Dollar General Store shelf. After all it is only worth a $1.

I don't think anyone's left in California that can read.

"And his crummy books have been touted to the heavens on every national network morning show ad nauseum! What book tour ever had such a fawning network television red carpet rolled out, day after barf alert day?"

"Compare Algore's invisible sales to the mega sales of Coulter, Goldberg and Hannity which had only negative reviews on network TV. It just shows how irrelelvent lamestream network televsion is becoming to politics compared to radio, the internet, and FOX."

Pretty much sums it up right there.

But I want the Demoncrats to run Al Gore in 2004:

Gore in '04!
Help Al Beat Harold Stassen's Record for Most Failing Campaigns Since William Jennings Bryan!

In a never ending effort to promote Christian understanding and assistance, I offer the following as a solution to the Gores. Get the NEA to promote the books as required reading in the Social Studies section of their school curriculum. That should be good for several hundred thousand sales and a reasonable payback for all that Al has done for the teachers' unions.

This is why Daschle, Gore, Shrum, Ann Lewis, Begala, etc have no clue what is happening in the political wind in America. I believe that they are so dismissive of "right-wing" media that they were truly blindsided by the election results of this November.

[Slyfox]

Darn-it-all! Does that mean there won't be a sequel??

I think you just helped me discover a great gag gift for my conservative friends! Sounds like in a few weeks I'll be able to get it at a discounted price, too. Thanks
