#1 Pretty funny, NY has folks that get it. Gore is quite the loser. May his history be what he has made of it. A no class bore.

#2 Fortunately, NY's conservatives compensate their numbers with loyalty, integrity and often being better than multiple liberals put together -- I was at Fleet Week 2004, and NO ONE was not supportive of the troops and what they're doing overseas for us; and this was crowds and crowds, bigger than those at some Democratic or liberal rallies :D

(Even a Times Square diner has a Fleet Week Special -- uniformed sailors and Marines, until Thursday, get a free beer with their meal.)

#3 Rantburgers, your comments and opinions please... I have a new theory that's so way out, that it could only be possible if it were to come from the party of Howard Dean. Here goes....

Up until now, Kerry has been the de facto Dem nominee, and has been so for a couple of months, but before that, Dean was the poster boy with Kerry hardly on the map.

Gore has popped his alpha male wanna-be head above ground several times since he lost the election, but just here and there.

Suddenly, as we get close to the Democratic convention, when Kerry will supposedly get the official nod, Gore shows up again, but this time, he's screaming like Chewbacca in heat - kind of like Howard "kreegah!" Dean.

One of Dean's appeals to democrats was supposedly his refreshing, if not bizarre, departure from the middle of the road approaches his opponents were taking. It didn't matter if they held any water, all that mattered was that someone was moving leftwards, away from the center and, heaven forbid, the right.

Way out theory A: Gore wants to make a run for President, and hopes that if he comes out screaming Dean-like messages, in a Dean-like style, but as Al Gore who we know was 2nd in command during the "golden 90's" when all the world loved us and we all had lots of money, blah, blah, blah....

Way out theory B: At the moment, Kerry seems to be ahead in the polls, but he's not delivering knock-out punches, and the Dems are sending Al Gore out there to see if there are any issues that grab people, and then pass them on to Kerry to strengthen his hand. Kerry doesn't have the liberty to try out wacky things, but if Al Gore tests the waters and they sink, hey, it's just that wacky Al Gore. However, If Al "check out my inflateable Hulk muscles" Gore throws some crap at the wall and it actually sticks, then Kerry would quietly adopt that issue into his campaign.

Okay, to all you more politically savvy folks out there, this might be totally ridiculous theory, but I just wanted to see if anyone thought it could be possible, and if not, what they thought might be the reason the Dem party leaders somehow overlooked a 6 and half foot tall tazmanian devil, who will always represent their party, whether in an official capacity or not.

Watchoo guys t'ink?

#4 I'll take Theory B. for $200, Alex.

I say that even though Kerry came out with a fairly strong speech yesterday (can't find the link right now). This also gives Kerry an opportunity to waffle on yet another issue if / when he 'lurches' leftwards again. It's inevitable, just look at his record, that is when he shows up.

#5 I'll take theory B. too.
If Al were going to run, he would have done it with the others.
Al is just as Left as sKerry, make no mistake.
They'll let him scream for the Party and take the heat so sKerry doesn't have to.
Al has nothing to lose but his mind. (Actually, I don't think any of the Dimocrats are anything but losers.
Al's screech is another Dean "YARRRRRRGH" redo.
They are the most consummate bunch of losers and I can't wait to see them all get beat in November like the red-headed stepchildren they are!)

#6 I thought exactly the same thing. A stupid looking, extreme acting Gore make Kerry look stateman like. This was clearly a stalking horse job by Gore.

#9 Oh Please God, let Al speak on national TV at the convention.

#10 It's too bad that Pat Paulsen passed on... I believe he'd qualify as the most sane Donk today.

#11 ...I'll take Theory B, Variant One - Gore is not only trying on issues for size, he intends to claim a pound of flesh if Kerry should somehow win, i.e.; "I got you elected son, and you OWE me."
