.........while Gore seems to be distrusted by some Union members and disdained by radicals, he would fall neatly into that demographic of "likely voters". Curious how the recent days' Hillary flap(s) would influence this; many don't realize how unhappy hill and Al were in the House....association of the two would not be easy to separate...especially among Bill-haters the Demos want to court...

As much as I love Gore and would love to see him in the White House, this is not the way he should get there. If it gets to the point where there needs to be a third candidate, the party will be incredibly fractured with little time to heal. On top of that, Gore would have zero fundraising going into the general election.

Then again, if it was Gore/Obama, then there's the possibility of Gore using Obama's funds.

Hmmmmm.... Gore/Obama might work.

No need for a brokered convention. The race is over. Obama won. Clinton lost. Will somebody please tell her?

Obama wants Gore on his team

politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/200...eam/

(CNN) — Al Gore has a spot in a potential Barack Obama administration, the Illinois senator said Wednesday.

Asked at a campaign event if he'd consider Gore for his cabinet, Obama immediately said he would.

" I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this [climate change] problem," Obama said.

Obama also said he talks with the former vice president on a "regular basis," and often consults with him on climate change issues.

Could Gore serve alongside Bill Clinton in an Obama administration? Last November, the Illinois senator said he'd offer the former president a job "in a second."

"There are few more talented people [than Clinton]," Obama said then.
