Having this election hoopla has made every single news item stale...No one wants to know anymore about the candidate field...They've heard it all and seen all of them that they can handle.
If I were Al Gore I would keep quiet until about 45 days before the Democratic Conventon...Let everyone stew in this mess...on July 4th,2008 go to 'Freedom Hall' in
Philly and announce my candidancy...On the platform of doing it for the good of the nation...begin a whirlwind tour of the country...have a carefully crafted routine and press reports and nothing more...
thus stealing ALL the media for himself...push the public into an uproar and take the convention...
just like Bobby Kennedy was doing to LBJ...He was going to take the convention and everyone knew it.
Not a chance in the world.. The right view him as a wacko and would rather vote for Mickey Mouse, the left can be, (or need to be) more central, he might get the left wing fringe but not enough ever to beat Clinton.
1. Revenge: Get back at the Clintons for deep-sixing his earlier campaign.
2. Many Americans think he lost the election unfairly and want to give him a
second chance.
3. He has a new position of stature because of championing environmental
issues and winning the 'Nobel Prize'.
4. He looks good...He looks Presidential.
5. Out of all the other hopefuls, only he has the look of a statesman.
Very much like Ronald Regan.
6. The time is right to do this...just like JFK did.
If he decides to take this election...I'll be glad to manage his campaign in
West Virginia.
It usually takes an optimistic message--one that expresses unambiguous faith in America and the American people--to get a majority of voters excited about a candidate. This is one the things that made FDR, JFK, LBJ, Reagan, and Clinton popular. Carter's and Mondale's lack of it helped make them unpopular. Al Gore doesn't seem to be very good at this kind of thing. He's really more of a serious thinker than he is a person who rallies ordinary people--a trait that he shares with John Kerry.
Still trying to figure that one out.. What EXACTLY did Gore do again to qualify for the Nobel PEACE Prize?
I am not nessecarily praising Al Gore's accomplishments or championing whether or not he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.
I'm just calling out someone who criticizes him... while sounding as if they just came down off the mountain with a bottle of moonshine and Earnest T. Bass in tow.
I love the World Wide Web. It's a great place for anyone to have a voice. And I think it's also wonderful that the Mayberry Public Library now has internet access.
Return by re-inventing himself as the 'Centrist of Choice'.
A quick orchestrated mega campaign to blind the other candidates and take the news media with him.
The country will forget about the past...they have already...name recognition, some good professional PR people (not the Bill/Hillary dweebs as before)
a good Madison Avenue advertising company like the old days)
Every progressive day set up with the 'correct' press releases.
I'm saying it can be crafted and it can be done.
Just this side of personal attacks. Keep it clean in these here woods.
