Comments on: Gore-led ticket good compromise for Democrats? http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/25/gore-led-ticket-good-for-democrats/ Tell Jack how you really feel Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:00:35 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Pat in Columbus, MS http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/25/gore-led-ticket-good-for-democrats/#comment-192193 Pat in Columbus, MS Tue, 25 Mar 2008 20:41:47 +0000 http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/25/gore-led-ticket-good-for-democrats/#comment-192193 Jack I really believe the Democratic Party is already hurt and perhaps it will take YEARS AND YEARS to overcom this mess. I believe it will become a jumping point for a third party to strongly emerge. When a state can not decide when it wants to hold their Primary, and have it recognized, then it is time to delve deeper into the reasons that the one in charge of the DNC is really upholding Obamas choice to disenfranchise voters. Many do not realize that Obama really does NOT have the popular vote because of the DNC decision to deny the voters in Florida and Michigan. If they did recognize the votes, Clinton would be ahead. The press needs to push that point and put pressure on the ignorant DNC that they are sinking fast in public opinion and will lose democrats over this. If they uplift a candidate as President that hasn't even run, leaving voters choices by the wayside, then the Democratic Party will find themselves in a quamire of quicksand that will insure a third Independant Party will rise higher than the Democratic Party. If Clinton CHOSE Gore to be her VP, that would be great. But again, if Obama is involved in any way to the Pres/VP ticket, I for one will cross my party's line and vote for McCain.

Then to sit down with Barack Obama and explain to him that it would be best for Hillary to be the Democratic nominee, simply because she's the best economist, she's more experienced, she's the one with the specics and plan to turn this nation around. And that once Hillary has had her reign (for lack of a better word), he can come back in the 2017 election and win by a landslide. That he, for strategic reasons, needs her to go first, because I doubt he can implement the change he so passionately speaks of without the repair needed in this country, which only Hillary can do. My point: Gore's only role in this election should be to play mediator. Al Gore's role in this election should be to first endorse Hillary Clinton.

Something like this would be a major setback to all the work Hillary and Obama have done to energize a new base of young voters. Before this election, most young voters felt like there vote did not count so they just didnt vote. You bring in Gore, who has no delegates and has done nothing in this election and you'll be reinstituting that thought process. I'm a Clinton supporter, but have no animosity toward Obama or Gore. This country has a political process, and though it is flawed we should let it run its course. Hillary and Barack both make the claim that they have what it takes to unite the party against the redumblicans, so let the process run its course, and whoever the nominee is, let them put forth there best effort. Here's the best combo: Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton - either way its unstoppable BAD IDEA !!!!!

The people have spoken, Obama is the front runner and will continue to be, if they steal this nomination from him, that is a guaranteed loss in November. What's the problem, Hillary can't handle the fact that she will lose to Obama, the "new" Senator!! Get over it and over yourself. Nothing is guaranteed in this life, certainly not the Presidency!! Especially if your NOT IN FLORIDA AND A BUSH!!! Jack, if the dems decide to pull a stunt like that............tthey better be ready to lose in November.

Obama, and Clinton continue to slip in nationals polls against McCain as the election continues. All democrats respect Gore, and he would be fresh. He would have the added advantage of watching the election unfold thus far and be able to use this in the general election. He can still continue to focus on his current work, he would just be able to have a greater affect on it. It's a win win for America and Gore. Wake up Al, your time is coming!.

Obama is too radical and is damaged goods. He got where he is by using blacks just the way Karl Rove and George Bush used Right Wing Evangelicals. Many blacks don't know he came from a priviledged ivy league background. Jack -
