Would you vote for Al Gore if he ran for President in 2008?

No.  Gore is smart but thinks he's all knowing, whereas his understanding is really superficial in many areas he considers to be 'his' areas.  That is a dangerous mixture.\n\nThe Democrats need to find someone who is sincere in their beliefs rather than slick.  Slickness is what killed Kerry's chances.\n\nI vote for Republicans sometimes and for Democrats sometimes.  I don't see anyone in the Democratic line up whom I would vote for in 2008, but I don't yet see anyone in the Republican line up I would vote for, either.

Vote Al Gore for President.\n\nHe cares more about the enviornment than most people. Bush is all about wars and oil....He could care less if the world turns black.

It's hard to guess, but I'll take a shot:  9/11 would probably still have occurred.  Gore would most likely have gone into A'stan as a result of the attack.  Saddam would still be in power as I doubt Gore would have had the political will to confront Iraq.  Chances are that Bin Laden would still be alive (as I believe he is today).  The economy might be a little worse off, due to Gore's reluctance to engage in cutting taxes or spending on entitlement programs (even though Bush hasn't been much better in that regard) and appeasement of the enviromentalist and their religious adherence to the Kyoto Protocols.  Assuming he would have been reelected in 2004, Gore would have been able to shift the Supreme Court to the left with more pro-abortion, anti-2nd Amendment justices not to mention placing a more liberal chairman on the Federal Reserve board.  That's about all I can think of.  Frankly, beyong Iraq and the SCOTUS appointments, I don't see much difference.  Anyone who says otherwise is a partisan hack who hasn't been paying attention to how little difference there is between the two mainstream political parties these days.

Sure, I guess I would vote for the other parties candidate.  Never say never.  But if I were to pick somebody I would really want to run in the 2008 election it would be McCain.  He is the most likely Republican to win the primaries and lose to a Democrat.

Which Bush?\n\nIf it's Jeb- I'd ask him to run for President in 2008.\n\nIf it's W- I'd thank him for the job he's done and tell him not to mind the moaning little pissants who still can't get over the fact that he was reelected.\n\nIf it's H.W.- I'd probably ask him how in the hell he could let Clinton beat him in the first place.

I agree with it whole heartedly.\n\nAl Gore is strong, perhaps strong enough to win his party's nomination for President, but he doesn't have the strength, the inclination nor the support of the American voters.\n\nObama is a huge threat to Clinton- but both would make excellent progressive Presidents. Obama, if he waits, will have to defend himself to the American public over claims that he misled the voters by signalling his intentions to represent them as a Senator and not the President.\n\nThe Republican party will have a really tough time with the '08 elections, and God willing they won't be returned to office. You only need look at the good fmr President Clinton and VP Al Gore did to see how great America could be. Only no one remembers the good because of the scandals and the Right wing Republicans determined to undermine him at any opportunity.\n\nIf the Republicans want to win the 08 elections they need to start grooming strong candidates now!\n\nHillary, in conclusion- will win the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. And will be incredibly tough to beat.\n\nHer husband is a very clever politician and still mega popular. Just look at the rallies they did for Hillary recently.\n\nShe's be the first female President in US history, popular with Mums, women, family groups, minoritys etc... \n\nAnd thats what the world needs- a woman!\n\nThe Iceman.

He probably would have been paying attention rather than going on vacation and been able to prevent 911. You heard about the terrorist attack at the turn of millennium? Oh you didn't; that's because Clinton was paying attention and it never happened. Gore wouldn't be ranked as one of the worst presidents in history. He would be proactive about preventing global warming and being so dependent on fossil fuels. In a word Gore is proactive. The Bush administration has been reactive.

Al Gore.\nand im being completely serious.

I certainly wouldn't, and like most other Americans, I didn't vote for him in 2000 or in 2004. For one thing, he's not too bright. And not only that, but I'm a working American, and it's not in my best interests to vote Republican. Also, he started a war that was based on a lie. And where the hell is Osama bin Laden? It's been almost 5 years since the 9/11 attacks, and he still hasn't been caught. He's also a religious fanatic who has no respect for what the Constitution stands for and he and his fundamentalist friends are doing all they can to break down the separation of church and state. Also, he doesn't care about global warming, because thanks to his fundamentalist beliefs, he believes the end times are near, anyway, so it's pointless to try to save the planet. If anything, he's probably trying to hasten Armageddon.

Although, just about anybody who has ever took the throne as the man in office, has all been a money sucking liar, Al seems to have the right mind to take charge. \n\nYou're right. Al Gore does have the right idea. He has shown more interest in the planet then anyone else has and definitely  has more care for the planet then George Bush does. George Bush wants to focus on Mars more then Earth!\n\nI'd say that Al Gore is a good candidate for president.

I won't goose step but I would vote for him because he is not a repuglican. They have screwed up in 5 years what it took Clinton 8 years to straighten out.

They would probably still be trying to figure out what to do.  Seriously though, there probably wouldn't be that much difference, most of the intelligence the Bush administration had was gathered during the Clinton administration.  I think Gore would've vacillated on Iraq initially, but ultimately he probably would've taken a similar course of action.  Several high profile democrats were for the war in Iraq (Hillary!). Except he would've let the UN option run it's course toward futility, so he might have gained some additional world support.  But then again, you have to remember that countries like France, Germany and Russia still want to be players on the world stage, so they probably would've been difficult to deal with no matter what.\n\nUltimately, I think the result would've been very similar, regardless of what people say.

No\nFrom Democratic Side : Al Gore (White Christian Male) with Barrack Obama as his No.2 man (Black Christian Male) or Hillary Clinton (White Christian Female).\nHillary's No.2 is undecided.\n\nFrom Republican Side: Not sure but Condoleeza Rice (its possible, Black Christian Female).

Bush did.\nDo you realize that if Gore had won his home state (a typically Dem state) then w/ or w/o Florida he would have won the election?\nNow why wouldn't his own state want him elected?

I think Al Gore should have been elected instead of Bush. We might as well have elected a crack addicted monkey. Oh, we did! My bad!

Yea, Al Gore was definitely better...I mean he was always so statuesque...looking like someone stuck a 2X4 up his a$$...I could see him now on 9/11...he would be running around screaming about the environmental impact the collapse of the towers had...not really concerned about the 3000 dead...the Taliban would still be in power...Al Qaeda would still have Afghanistan to train & equip in...we would still have terrorist attacks within our nation...the ACLU would be dictating how we run the War on Terror (if Gore even had one)...an attorney for every terrorist!...plus free health care!...and a free government pension for all foreign "freedom fighters!"...Ah, yes...that would've been so much better than now...

I, while I think it would be unelectable, would love to see a democratic ticket of Hillary/Obama ticket in 08. I think with Hillary's experience it would be a successful presidency. and also set up an Obama presidency in 2016. Both are viable candidates for president in 08. I think the country would move forward with either one. Instead of backwards like it has the last 6 years. The reason that I would pick Hillary in 08 over Obama is Hillary is a strong and very intelligent woman that is not afraid to stand up for what is right. She would have an excellent adviser in her husband, the last legally elected president and also the most successful at running the business of the country in over 40 years.
