Where is Al Gore when we really, really need him?

This election was Gore's to take. It was a done deal. He would in no way have endangered such a divisive split of the party. He would've rolled over anyone the Republicans would've put against him. It would've been such an easy win, in my opinion the party would've been decided long, long ago, and this upcoming election would be in the bag.

Right now the Democratic party is splintered down the middle. It was going to be tough enough, getting either a female or an African American voted into office through the general election. It would've been an exceedlingly difficult task if the party was united. But now, with the party splintered in such a way, with so many women being denied, not to mention the REAL challenge of the democrats this summer, to convert a racial centric nation to a different way of thinking, I'm thinking it's just going to be potentially one of the biggest disasters in the history of Amercian politics.

It sure would be incredible, to look at how far this country has swirled down into the crapper, so go home from work on election day and see that even with everything Bush has done to us, that we still have the Republicans running the show. But the Dems have asked John Q. Middle America to look into their souls and decide.

Good luck with that...

Nice, Jeff. I was half worried about your reaction. I thought she did really well. No one can understand how hear broken she must be. Again, time to focus on McCain. That idiot *is* the real enemy. It's just amazing that he's actually can win after Bush.

Situations like this are always tough on the loser of a party fight.

I find it sort of disgusting and galling for people to ask this kind of thing on a person. When you're fighting with all of your heart and soul against them, like in this case the Obama supporters against Clinton for all these months. Calling her a horrible human being, then turning around, doing a 180 and asking her to stand up and lie for THEM, is bullshit of the very highest order.

I know that a big part of me would love nothing more than to see a person in this position, like Clinton is in today, stand up and show some anger, some bitterness, and some kind of honesty in what they're going through. Today is the day you should be hearing Clinton critics talk about what a liar she is. Instead, it's BS like "well, she was saying what she needed to say but she didn't really feel it with any passion".

Grow up for god's sake.

It's funny that, much like Hillary was obligated to play nice and stump for Obama, Jeff and all the other Hillary-bashers are now obligated to play nice and stump for Hillary.

And they always said Bill was the shrewest political operator of this era.

Unlike friends of mne, who supported every noxious thing Bill and Hill did in their presidential prime, then turned on her with a vengeance once a more appealing candidate turned up this time, I've never liked Hillary Clinton. That is, till this campaign: She fought hard all the way down the line (and how gratifying was it to see a primary season go the distance?) and in so doing tested Obama's mettle. He's the better candidate for it.

Trouble is, while McCain as candidate is the mouthpiece for a party and soon-to-be-ex-president bankrupt of ideas, he is still an honorable American--one that Americans who aren't comfortable with an Obama presidency can, and will, support. There is work ahead for Obama.

What happened is that Hillary saw the MIchelle Obama "Whitey" video that everyone's been talking about and realized that it was much ado about nothing.

Here's the video:

What does that make al-Qaida? Until Democratics can learn to tell the difference, voters won't take them seriously for President.

You really have been living in a cave the last 6 years, haven't you? It's the Republicans who have been acting as if there's no difference between Al Qaeda / Saddam Hussein / the Taliban / whoever and anyone who opposes the GOP at home.

Clinton didn't mention the word "McCain" once in her speech. Her "friend" from Arizona was let off easy. For this speech to be a success she needed to throw a little red meat and focus anger towards the GOP candidate. She didn't do that, so the speech was consequently a failure.

Gore obviously stayed out because of the Clintons, because you are damn right this was his election to win had he entered. One has to wondered, considering what we have seen from Team Clinton this spring, if they made it clear to him that any contributors they had shared in the past would be dead to him this go around.

Although, from everything I've seen Gore is just sick of politics and the current state of media. The harbinger that Bush would get a free ride for Iraq was how the media did nothing to show all the lies the right threw out about Gore statements.

goodvibe: "This election was Gore's to take. It was a done deal. He would in no way have endangered such a divisive split of the party."

Gore's run twice in 20 years and only got nominated once. And he lost a campaign in a strong economy against the son of a one-term President with crappy approval ratings. I think that says it all about his viability as a candidate.

"He would've rolled over anyone the Republicans would've put against him."

He seemed to be the one who was rolled over in 2000...

"But now, with the party splintered in such a way, with so many women being denied, not to mention the REAL challenge of the democrats this summer, to convert a racial centric nation to a different way of thinking, I'm thinking it's just going to be potentially one of the biggest disasters in the history of Amercian politics."

We're already living the biggest disaster of American politics with the more recent white male running the show. I doubt Dems are gonna care in five months about the color of their candidate.

"so go home from work on election day and see that even with everything Bush has done to us, that we still have the Republicans running the show. But the Dems have asked John Q. Middle America to look into their souls and decide. Good luck with that..."

John Q. Middle's not going to vote for an old guy who doesn't know jack about economics.

"When you're fighting with all of your heart and soul against them, like in this case the Obama supporters against Clinton for all these months. Calling her a horrible human being, then turning around, doing a 180 and asking her to stand up and lie for THEM, is bullshit of the very highest order."

Only one person officially called Hillary a horrible human being, and was promptly fired. BS is Hillary's propaganda campaign in which she tried to claim she could win, and thus wasted people's donations, and still ended up in debt.

vice: "It's funny that, much like Hillary was obligated to play nice and stump for Obama, Jeff and all the other Hillary-bashers are now obligated to play nice and stump for Hillary."

I think we're just glad that

Farris: "What does that make al-Qaida?"

A lobbyist for McCain?

"Until Democratics can learn to tell the difference, voters won't take them seriously for President."

*cough* Republicans selling weapons to Iran and Osama *cough*

The Vietnam war was awful, but at least it was managed by experienced politicians who meant well, as opposed to idiots born with spoons in their mouths who were shills for Big Oil.

Direct proof that DZ never passed the 8th grade. Because if he had, he would have heard the name "James Buchanan" and realized how devoid of intellect his statements truly are.

Allow me to correct DZ.

We're already living the biggest disaster in American Politics in 147 years.

Is that better SaveFarris?

Are you still in the 9th grade then? What the hell relevence does James Buchanan have on any current events?

Other than the fact that he was probably a closeted homosexual just like most modern Replublicans in office.
