and if he does will he get the nomination.Would they really nominate al gore again? Will President Bush keep is high approval ratings? Would the dems even stand a chance if Bush keeps his ratings high?
Its gonna be an exciting 3 years.

Prediction-- Bushs' ratings will remain high, maybe not as high as they are now but high nontheless.Gore will realize this and not persue the nomination. The dems will throw some lackey out to lose to Bush.

How far off the mark do ya think I am?

I don't know.  However, I am expecting the DNC to run Hillary.

It would be extremely unusual for a party to run a candidate a second time against someone they have already lost to.

I hope to God that they do nominate Hillary!  It would be a record setting loss for the Dems that they would be years recovering from!

I can only recall, in modern times, Nixon, running as VP and losing, then running again and winning. So I don't think it happens too often.

Just remember a couple of things.  The other Bush was way ahead in the polls after the Gulf War and lost to the asshole.  Also Bush is trying to move to the center.  That does not sit well with his rightwing core.  For instance, he could go for gun control to appease all the soccer moms and piss all of us off.

Anybody else worried about the nice mild-mannered soft-spoken Tom Dasshole?

If soccer moms are not allowed to have machine guns, then how are they going to protect the kids?

I sure hope the DNC runs Gore again.  He is such a weak candidate.  If he does run, Bush is all but garaunteed a win...so perhaps then gun owners will look at other candidates and vote for beliefs and not for a party.

Tom D$$$$$$ is making to many enemies to be an effective candidate.

John Ellis, who writes for several east coast papers, has a pretty good take on this question on his website. Here is a quote -

“Ever since former Vice President Gore lost what most professionals regarded as the unlose-able presidential race in 2000, elite opinion in Democratic circles and the media (which may be the same thing) has been scathing about Mr. Gore's prospects should he choose to seek the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination (which, of course, he will). It's over and he's over has been the Groundhog Day refrain. As is usually the case when media/Democratic elite opinion converges into conventional wisdom, this assessment of Mr. Gore's prospects is almost exactly wrong.”

You can read the whole thing[url=http://www.johnellis.blogspot.com/] here[/url]. It’s a short read - Scroll down to “Gore Redux” in the Wednesday posting.

Jon Ellis is George W.  Bush’s cousin, btw.

That is true, but the second time he didn't run against the candidate he lost against the first time.

It will be a sad day for America if Tom Asshole ever gets to become President....

Its official Tipper Gore won't run for Senate. Who knows what the demorats have up there sleeves. She most probably couldn't get the votes . After all Al Gore lost thier state in the Presidential elections. CAPITALIST

jtw2- Thats true. In fact Nixon didn't even run against a sitting president, Johnson opted out of that race.

Gores arguement for running might be that "I won the popular vote" [garnered more votes than Bush]. But to the chagrin of soccer moms and welfare moms and lesbian moms etc. the popular vote doesn't elect the president. Thank God.

As I remember, before the election, Gore argued for the rules that Bush won by.  I guess Gore thought that he could not lose.  After all, he beleived in Clinton's appointment of him as the next president.

Maynard is correct.

Al Gore was really a weak canadate in 2000.  He was connected to the most corrupt administration in modern times and he had no real convictions of his own.  He acted like a idiot everytine he went in public and nobody knew where he stood on any issue.  However, he still got 50% of the vote.  So who voted for him?  The ones quoted by Maynard in his post above.  That is basically the anti-conservative vote in America.  That vote is still out there.  If it wasn't for the foresight of our founding fathers and the electorial college we would all be sucking Democratic ass now.  Be afraid of the 50% that voted for Gore....be very afraid!

Choosing between the less evil of two evils, I'd rather have Gore for President than Hillary.

But then again, I'd rather vote for a shoe with dogshit on it than vote for Hillary.    

Heck, I'd rather vote for the dogshit, shoe or no shoe.  

I'd rather knaw my arm off than be trapped in a poll booth with the Vote Hillary switch connected to the trap release.

If I got drunk and woke up in the morning with Hillary in bed with me, with my arm trapped under her,  I'd rather knaw my arm off than take a chance of waking her up and hearing her damned liberal voice.   And then I'd kill myself with my remaining arm.

Whoever runs against Bush MIGHT have a good chance to win....  It all depends.  On what you say?  If the Govt passes another law when you know what Sunsets in 2004.  This happens 2? months before the Presidental election.  If Bush passes such a bill, I will NOT vote for him.
