Per Zogby on Hannity show: http://www.redstate.com/blogs/sickofobama/2008/mar/20/john_zogby_on_hannity_radio_show_talked_of_rumors_that_al_gore_will_take_obamas_delegatesJohn Zogby, on Hannity Radio Show, talked of rumors that Al Gore will take Obama's delegates By sickofobama Posted in Archived — Comments (48) / Email this page » / Leave a comment » Promoted from blogs, with a notation: this must be the single silliest suggestion that we have seen so far from the Democratic Party on how to solve their primary problem. I mean. Really. They want to take the nomination away from the first female / African-American mainstream candidate for President, and give it to an old white guy?

John Zogby, the pollster who runs Zogby International, said today on the Hannity Radio Program that there are rumors that top ranking Democrats are talking about having Obama give his delegates to Al Gore. He said Obama would have to offer these delegates since he's in the lead and the thinking seems to be that Gore will have more appeal to white male voters and that Gore will likely be able to hold on to the support of Clinton supporters since these are core Democratic voters. He said that Hillary and Obama would be given either the VP position, high-level Cabinet positions, or the Senate Majority position or something along those lines in order to make their voters happy.
Zogby's polling is very good but his verbal predictions have been way off sometimes (like with the 2004 election). Scott Rasmussen, also on the show, seemed a bit skeptical that it would work given the historic nature of this race of having the first black or first female President. This may be true because Zogby, as far as I know, has a lot of connections to the Democratic Party and either way, it seems like the Democratic Party is not that concerned with disenfranchising some Democratic voters anyway. He said that if this battle b/n Obama and Hillary goes on, which it probably will, that this is the one thing that can save the party. It sounds crazy but the GOP needs to keep their eyes open for this one.
