AL GORE / THE COMEBACK KID IN 2008
A top Democratic strategist told Orin: "Americans love comebacks. "He could come back as the new Nixon – somebody who went into the wilderness and found himself."
Get ready, the one major Democrat who actually beat George W Bush in 2000, who voted against the war in Iraq and who is a strong environmentalist capable of solidifying the fragmented Democratic party is ~ drum roll please ~Al Gore.
Gore rightfully has the fire in his belly and has nothing to lose and everything to gain by coming out against the Cheney/Bush administration now ~ with both guns blazing .
58% of Americans have lost faith and trust in the Cheney/Bush administration ~ Bush and the Republicans are more than vulnerable. Gore has the name recognition and credibility to motivate the Democratic party to a decisive victory in the 2006 mid term elections and then on to victory in 2008.
Expect a major speech at a DNC fundraiser within a week in which he will take off the gloves ( ala George Galloway ) and give the growing anti-war movement a champion they can believe in ~ much to the chagrin of the Clintons.
Hillary and Bill had their moment and thank God ~ it has past.
It's time, Gore knows it ~ Gore will seize that moment and not a moment to soon.

GORE REPORTED READY TO TAKE ON CLINTON
NEWSMAX - Al Gore is poised to make a comeback and could pose a serious challenge to Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic presidential race.
That’s the surprising news from "Inside Washington" columnist Deborah Orin of the New York Post, who writes that the former vice president "is suddenly re-emerging as a vocal and visible Bush-basher." A Democratic insider told Orin that Gore – who is slated to star at a Democratic National Committee fund-raiser next week – is "keeping a very strong public profile. He was the first major Democrat to oppose the Iraq war.
He’s keeping in touch around the country and doing a lot of speeches.
You don’t do all that if your goal is to play celebrity golf.
Why should Hillary worry? Iraq is the hot-button issue for the staunchly left-wing Democrats who have a major impact on the presidential primaries, and while Gore was loudly anti-war from the start, Clinton voted for the war. Orin writes: "It’s one thing for Clinton to contemplate a 2008 anti-war foe like little-known Sen. Russ Feingold (Wis.). It’s quite another to face the MoveOn darling who won the popular vote against George W. Bush."
A top Democratic strategist told Orin: "Americans love comebacks. "He could come back as the new Nixon – somebody who went into the wilderness and found himself."

[There's another aspect of this story that has not gotten much attention. Gore has plenty of reasons not to like the Clintons, since Bill Clinton's behavior was a major reason for Gore's presidential miss.
The Review also reported tensions between Gore and Clinton going back as far as 1996. Of course, if Gore had distanced himself from Clinton early enough, he could have overcome the Clinton handicap and might have been president today.]
