I wanted Gore before I wanted Obama ...But that was more than a year ago. Since then I've become rather impressed with Obama, and frankly haed I known a year ago everything I know now, I'd have been a fierce supporter of his then. Al Gore is a great speaker. He get's the tech biz better than anyone else in the politics biz. He is really gifted at seeing the synergy between technology, economics, and ecology, and putting that synergy into workable programs. He's also just about the worst politician in history. If I could think of anyone less charismatic on a presidential campaign trail, it would have to be Fred Thompson. Fred Who? Yes, that guy that ran for president this spring that everyone has already forgotten. Hillary Clinton and the Real Estate and Entertainment industry mafia have made it clear they have no qualms whatsoever about overturning the will of American voters if they can. This, more than anything else, I think, has to do with Hillary's continuing decline in the polls, and her steady decline in credibility. So why on earth does Joe Klein that a brokered candidate is the way to avoid a brokered convention? Let's please get this thing straight, Joe. This is not about whether the American people can make up their minds or not. This is about whether or not the Democrats have the courage to nominate the man the people have already chosen. That man's name is Barack Obama. It is not Al Gore, or Hillary Clinton. If we wanted the Democratic Elders to nominate a Democratic Elder, we would have voted for her. Swapping in an Old White Guy in place of an Old White Woman is not going to solve anything but the Republican's dilemma over how to beat the Democrats in November. 3:29:11 AM    comment []
