Hmmm... Any Opinions On A Gore/Warren Ticket ???

[WillyT]

Al's been out swinnging a populist bat lately...

[Lint Head]

1. I'd vote for that!

[yeoman6987]

5. Al is done

He went on with his life doing more to help America then anything he could do as President.

[Agschmid]

6. Yup.

[Blue_Tires]

17. +1

I'd love nothing more than to vote for Gore and atone for my grad-school Nader silliness, but I don't see him getting back into this mess...The crazy nastiness of politics today makes the late 90s look like a touchy-feely, Kumbaya era...

26. He also got caught cheating on Tipper and she divorced him. Sorry, but that matters.

It's a character issue. And, it'll end up in every voters mailbox.

29. Bill Clinton was re-elected after having sex with an intern.

31. No, that came to light in 1998, after he was already serving his second and last term.

2. Sorry But....

...to many are pretty hypnotized to Hilary. I dont think Al would run again especially after that divorce.

3. I would assume that Gore's ability and desire to speak out as he has done - with no

filter on whether it would damage his chances is due to his decisions - likely back in 2002/2003 that he really really did not want to run again ever.

I know that people say that anyone who ever made a serious run for the Presidency and lost (or as in Gore's case was not inaugurated) REALLY wants to run again. I think in Gore's case, the experience of all the attacks he had to bear and to then have to act in a dignified manner after the SC decided an election he had to know he won - and even oversee the vote in the Congress that gave the election to Bush was so painful that he really does not want to do it again.

12. I agree, I don't see him running again either

He would have made a wonderful president and I would have supported him if he'd run in 2004.

[Uncle Joe]

4. I believe it's a long shot that Al would run but if he did, I would do everything in my power

to help him.

I also believe a Gore/Warren ticket would be a most excellent match.

Thanks for the thread, WillyT.

[Octafish]

24. What Uncle Joe said.

I, too, would do.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. Neither of them are going to run

pity

[Iwillnevergiveup]

8. Utter dream ticket

A bunch of us worked very hard in the "Draft Gore" movement years back. And climate change is THE issue right now.....sigh......

[grasswire]

9. would crawl across broken glass for that one

hope, hope

[Prophet 451]

10. Um

I think it would be a hell of a ticket but A) I don't think Gore would be willing to put himself through that again and B) I don't think it would win.

Gore's signature issue is climate change. Something like 40% of the US populace has swallowed teh climate change conspiracy theory and you can bet they would all come out to vote against Gore. Secondly, Warren is a leftie populist. While right-wing populism is beloved by the media, left-wing populism gets you called a commie by that same media.

[YOHABLO]

11. I'd be in. Ain't gonna happen though. What we do need is a populist; and Hillary will 'run' as one.

These people always campaign from a left point of view .. and then once elected they become more centrist right. Hillary is no different than Obama. She's been around the block a couple of times and she knows all the detours of campaigning. Just wait and see. If Al would have been president, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in in IRAQ today! Bet cha

[BuelahWitch]

13. I'd support it

But all the prudes might get a quiver up their rectum because of Al's divorce.

[840high]

14. Gore - NO

[Right_Angle]

15. Unlikely... In the extreme...

[rosesaylavee]

16. Dream ticket but

I don't think Gore is interested.

[zeemike]

18. Reaching back to the past does not look like change to most people

And people want and need change...we need new blood like Warren or Sanders not old blood like Clinton or Gore if we are to win.
Having said that I would vote for Gore again if I had the chance, but we elected him once and they stole it away from him, and we did nothing about it.

[WillyT]

20. I Suppose That Would Go For Hillary As Well...

[zeemike]

28. IMO yes.

But she has more baggage than Gore.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. When Clinton picked Gore the Liberal Base was FURIOUS....

He had a LONG history as a DINO.

Clinton said he needed Gore to balance the ticket because he was too Liberal to get elected.

Then Clinton went on to govern like a Republican.

As time passed the shift to the Right got so bad that Gore is now considered to be a Lefty.

[WillyT]

21. So What Do We Do... Cause It Sure Ain't Hillary...

[Spitfire of ATJ]

33. All right!!! All right!!! You talked me into it!!!

[Cryptoad]

22. Warren / Krugman 2016 !!!!! nt

[joshcryer]

23. LOL, with people slamming Clinton for her wealth, what would Gore deal with?

But it's cute that we're still suggesting 1%ers.

Gore's climate message is important but I don't see him as a particularly strong leader. He should have run in 2004. The Draft Gore movement was huge. It was completely devastating when he said he wouldn't run at the Brookings Institution speech.

[valerief]

25. I wonder if the naysayers on this post are...

Well, I'll be nice. I'd definitely vote for a Gore/Warren ticket!

[joanbarnes]

27. I like President Gore, but I like Bernie Sanders more.

[former9thward]

30. Two people who are on Social Security?

No, I think the we need to look to the younger generations.

[lostincalifornia]

32. It won't happen, and anyway Gore had his chance
