A storm is brewing....The Wilkins ice shelf is coming loose....Global warming is believed by some to be the biggest threat to humanity in the coming century.....Soon a sheet of ice the breadth and width of the State of Connecticut will plunge into the Antarctic Ocean.
A storm is brewing....One Democrat Presidential Candidate has been thrown into a scandal concerning his Pastor of twenty-years. This Pastor has spewed hate, discontent, conspiracy and outright fallacy from the pulpit. Can his Candidate endure?
A storm is brewing...One Democrat Presidential Candidate has been caught "misspeaking" about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia. Most Americans would consider this lying, not misspeaking, after watching the video of her being greeted by a reception line full of women and children, when she claimed she was "running with her head down." Can her campaign recover, after expending so much effort reinstilling a feeling of trust and confidence in her party and followers.
A storm is brewing.... On either side of the Democrat Presidential divide, at least 1 in 5 voters claim they will defect to the conservative candidate if their candidate is not nominated.
A storm is brewing..... and there is but one man who can step to the fore and save his party.....
Shouldn't Al Gore be reconsidering his candidacy for the President of the United States? The way the Democrat Party is set up, he could still secure the nomination. There has to be a lot of concern on the left side of the aisle over the most recent Gallup poll that shows 1 in 5 Democrat voters will defect to John McCain if their candidate loses?
Will the war of attrition bare too many skeletons for both Obama and Clinton? Is this the perfect storm that brings Al Gore back into the political fray? Some say he is the 900 LB gorilla in the room. Some say he just looks like it.
The truth is, he did win the popular vote in 2000. He has endured numerous high profile elections which should have thoroughly vetted him for future elections. He has no scandal or back-history that rivals any of the three remaining candidates on either side of the aisle. A Nobel Peace Prize. An estimate (according to ABC) new worth of $120 Million.
Is it possible that the Wilkins Ice Shelf will be the final straw that breaks public opinion in favor of Al Gore, of the need for global climate initiatives, of the need of some sort of dignity in the public arena?
Al Gore vs. John McCain
Gore can deliver in places that neither Obama or Clinton can. Gore and McCain on substitive issues would be closer than most Republicans and Dems would like to admit. McCain is essentially the guy who lost to the guy who barely beat Gore, or lost to Gore, depending on how you look at it. Gore is younger, more popular with the public, would have the full support of his party (unlike McCain), does not have an appalling record on voting against the troops or making controversial "anti-war" votes. He could probably run circles against McCain in a debate, even on the economy, which should be a Republican topic, but in 2008 is wide open because of a looming or already present recession. He certainly can counter McCain's wartime and governmental experience with his own (albeit weaker) service as a war photographer in Vietnam (the closest Obama and Clinton have gotten to war is Hillary's sniper-fire arrival in Bosnia") and as the Vice President for eight years.
He is possibly the only person on the planet who is safe from Clinton Inc. in a Presidential campaign. Why? Eight years of being privvy to the nuances, rule bending, and otherwise nefarious tendencies of the Clinton's probably have Al Gore holding enough information to ruin them and anybody else within 100 miles of them. As long as he kept his own nose clean at least some of the time.
Is he too fat? Is he too content to rest on his laurels? Has he been mingling with the wrong crowd since the 2000 Presidential Election debacle? Will Obama and Clinton tear one another to shreds before the Democratic Convention, thus leaving McCain to run against the ruins of one candidate or the other, just a tattered remnant of themselves, blowing in the wind?
Watch on, dear reader. The best is yet to come. A storm is brewing.
