32. Okay with me. He's given some stupendous speeches in the last 3 yrs.--
passionate, highly focused, brilliant--on matters like Bush regime abuse of power, Constitutional issues, and Bush moral degradation of our country (torture). Very impressive. The man was on fire. Very different Gore from '00.

I would sure like to see somebody who was elected, and whose election was stolen, enter the White House. I think we need to RESTORE ORDER. AWe need a RESTORATION (as with Charles II), return to rightful rule. I've been saying this about a Gore/Kerry '08 ticket, but Kerry blew his comeback with his stupid joke, and, anyway, there's still a lot of bitterness about his abandonment of the fight in Ohio (so much fraud there--so egregious), whereas Gore fought hard in FLA. There are no hard feelings about Gore. The Supreme Court stole it from him. And it was actually proven later (just after 9/11) that he won.

I have serious differences with both men--Gore, on NAFTA, Kerry on the war. But I was willing to put MY notions aside in favor of who I believe the American people voted for. And I believe both men were elected president. That's very important to me--the will of the people being done. But I never did think Kerry could win back the presidency on his own. Had to be Gore/Kerry, with Gore in the top spot. Now I think Kerry would be a drag on a Gore ticket, even if he WAS elected in '04 (and I know he was, in a landlide, too--by 5%).

I think Gore would carry the election away--60% of the vote maybe more (if we have transparent vote counting by then). He's become that good as a speaker. And he has a commanding presence. He's very sure of his ground. I think there would be a tremendous celebration in this land when he gets inaugurated. Dancing in the streets! Great joy and relief.

He's also one hell of a smart guy. I'm not at all sure of him on the global corporate agenda, and I don't want ANY president having "unitary executive" powers. But as for someone who would win, and win big--whatever my disagreements with him--I'm sure Gore's the best choice.
