The hit job on Gore by drudge and co. has one point
to scare him out of running.

The right knows they have a poor field and if the Dems get someone who excites the liberal base, they're finished for '08. The wingnut base isn't into the top 3 prospective republicans.

If a candidate gets the dem base, then they're pretty much at 50%-all they need is just a marginal number independents and it's in the can.

However, someone like Hillary will do well to get the base out. There's a good chance that a sizeable chunk will stay home or go third party.
The right knows this is their only hope at sucess in '08.

Obama is unproven. As is Edwards.
The only person who's guaranteed to bring the left out in mass is Al Gore.
They're petrified of him.

This latest attack is to remind him of the power of the GOP misinformation machine. They want him to forget the buzz of the Oscar and remember "invented the Internet," Love Canal, Love Story, and all the other crocks of crap they sold the american people in 2000.

The best thing we can do now is let Al know we're behind him and it won't happen again. I think he's serious considering a run. Let's hope this doesn't discourage him.

3. This issue will be as dead as my Grandmother in a few weeks.
If not by next week.

That game can be played by both sides.

4. Only the Repiglicans Can Play This Game, Because They Own the Media
We Dems just get to sit there and watch our poll numbers drop.

5. Well I'm not really worried about the 2008 election
because I think the majority of voters are sick and tired of these lying corrupt Republicans. The Democrats could run Sponge Bob as their candidate and defeat any Republican in the field.......

8. Just remember they didnt win it ,it was stolen,and I suppose if they
were able to steal the election of 2000 and 2004 who knows what tactics they will use in 2008........But I still believe the 2008 Democratic nominee is the next President. Congress just has to outlaw those damn electronic voting machines
