Gore, please save us.

From CNN's Jack Cafferty:

"In a newspaper interview, Mahoney said if the convention is deadlocked and either Clinton or Obama suggested a Gore-Obama or Gore-Clinton ticket, the party would accept it."

And here lies our only chance of getting out of this GOP lock on the white house. has anybody on the coasts ever BEEN to middle america? have they ever gotten out of their hybrid car and actually spoken to the hordes of republicans that populate this once great nation? do they understand the lowest common denominator that votes? i get the feeling, that especially places like new york and california, which voted for Hillary. that most coastal Dems have no idea what they are up against. foreign policy? political experience? Joe Shmoe from alabama has NO IDEA what that even means. i guarantee that there won't be a non-white, non-male, non-southerner winning this year, nor will there be any young intelligent black men in office for a while. the only way to de-throne the GOP is to rally behind a guy like Gore. if only he would run.

He has a southern accent (don't under-estimate the importance of this, Bush wouldn't have even gotten his parties nomination in 2000 had he not been pretended to be Texan and had admited his Ivy background). Gore is no longer boring (a man who has won an oscar AND a nobel peace prize by being the star of a film cannot, by definition, be called boring anymore). he's got experience, he didn't ruin the planet the last time he was in the white house, and he hasn't been slinging mud for the last 5 months. he is our only hope america. pair him with anybody. i think he would even have a chance to win with Obama on his ticket as VP. look at it this way, Gore WON the last time he ran. and that was BEFORE bush sent the globe into this tail spin. He won despite most of the country being actively sick of Democratic rule. Imagine what he would do now?

I think the Democratic party has WAY too much faith in the average citizen.

Democrats really need to keep their eyes on the ball. the key issue should be ELECTABILITY. and although, i like Obama's speeches, and i truly think he would make a great president, i just know that this country is still getting over segregation, some people are probably still mad about it. no matter what happens, if we get McCain, we get more of the same. more iraq, more irresponsible foreign policy, more fear mongering, more no bid contracts, more tax breaks for the insanely rich. and most likely, no Osama hunting either.

I am so sick of being ashamed of America's behavior.
