Can Al Gore lead the revolution?

[info being]

It seems to me that a Gore / Kucinich ticket...running as a dem or 3rd party...is our greatest hope for a non-violent revolution. What do you guys think?

3. Gore/Kucinich?

.. would be nice but highly improbable.

I'll take Gore/Feingold for a thousand, Alex. :applause:

And I don't think Al wants to actively lead a "revolution" so much as he wants to fire up the troops (everyday people) to lead the charge OURSELVES - the way small d-democracy and citizen activism is supposed to work.

4. Gore/Feingold would be better, but I think people will eventually have to reconcile

themselves to the fact that Gore most likely will not run. I realize that some will grasp at straws for Gore until we actually have a nominee. No matter who gets the nomination, Feingold has said he would take second place on the ticket and you do not often see a well known politician take that position.

9. I beg to differ. I think he will. I'd love to see Gore/Feingold myself. Hell, I'd take Gore/anyone!

Well, maybe not anyone. But just about anyone!

5. The revolution will not be televised

Revolution comes from the people, and it's a long way off.

6. Yes he can. Even if he doesn't run.

That's why I'm not so anxious about the will he or won't he thing.

7. I'm finally convinced he really does not want the Presidency.

It was his last visit to Letterman. Dave mentioned it and Al immediately blew it off.

Since he doesn't want to run, fine. I've decided to move on. I simply won't get excited any more- too few other choices seem real or genuinely hopeful to me. I've decided to simply wait for the wannabes to self destruct, and then I'll see what we have left.

Hopefully there will be one or two good ones left standing.

Hopefully.

8. Why would Gore want to

get into this mess.He can do more good from the outside,if he ran he'd have to tone down his message and he would have less freedom to do the things he needs to do.
