Run, Al, Run
The ideal candidate for the Democrats may be the man who won the popular vote in 2000 -- and who opposed the war in Iraq from the very start
Back in 2002, Al Gore gave a speech eviscerating Bush's proposed action in Iraq. If you are at curious, check this out for the complete text of it. At that time, Bush was enjoying high popularity, and naturally, members of both houses of Congress wouldn't dare step on the toes of a popular president and essentially gave him Carte Blance.
Several of those Congressmen and women are now starting to get in line to run for president in 2008, and of course, seeing as how the was has become overwhelmingly unpopular and the president a lame duck, they are now curiously against this war (no soldier had to die if you had been paying attention 4 years ago, twits).
Al Gore has no such "yes" vote to talk his way out of. He could enter the race after the other democrats have sufficiently beaten themselves up and raise millions of campaign dollars right away. He'd win the democratic nomination and have more than a better shot of winning the presidency in 2008.
So, Al, please run. There's at least $6 - no wait $7!- in it for you if you do. (Sorry, I don't carry much cash. That's all that i have in my wallet at the moment)
