Scott, this men couldn't beat Bush in 2000 with sixty percent of the vote. He may be liked in the Democratic circles, but outside of those, he can be seen as a polarizing figure. This isn't the great news alot of people think it is. He should accept the endorsement... and then try to sort of keep Gore quiet.

"We can build a collective civic space large enough for all our separate identities, that we can be e pluribus unum -- out of one, many." E Pluribus Unum is the motto on the Great Seal of the United States of America, and is Latin for "out of many, one," not "out of one, many."
(Source: January 1994. From a Milwaukee speech to the Institute of World Affairs as quoted in Investor's Business Daily, October 25, 1996.)

whenever gore shows up, its all about killing the messenger.
funny thing is, back in April Newsweek did a fantasy head-to-head matchup poll between Gore and McCain.
And Gore won by 3 points.
so...looks like McCain can't even beat Dems who aren't running for Pres, let alone the Dems who actually are.

"whenever gore shows up, its all about killing the messenger."
Which is exactly why this isn't great news! The episode of South Park captures the Midwestern feelings on Al Gore quite well! Hell, half of us don't even consider it imaginary anymore! We just find the jokes about Al Gore to be funny!

I KNOW, noway!!
Even our Christian Conservatives Revered Goerge W. Bush claims we gotta do somethin to stop Golbal Warmin.
But you know how we Righties are ... once we develop an outline to our Blessed Sacraments of Demonization ... they are pretty much set in stone.
We are all bout the Ideologie ... NOT the Rationality.

"I'm very familiar with the importance of dairy farming in Wisconsin. I've spent the night on a dairy farm here in Wisconsin. If I'm entrusted with the presidency, you'll have someone who is very familiar with what the Wisconsin dairy industry is all about."

"Speaking from my own religious tradition in this Christmas season, 2,000 years ago a homeless woman gave birth to a homeless child in a manger because the inn was full." -Al Gore

In his first appearance in a nationally televised candidates forum, Gore was asked to name a past US president from whom he drew personal inspiration. He replied that he especially admired another "dark horse" candidate, and a product of his home state, the great "president James Knox". The only problem is that the history books show that nobody named Knox ever occupied the White House.

"I certainly learned a great deal from 3,000 town hall meetings across my home state of Tennessee over a 16-year period" in Congress, the vice president told NPR's Bob Edwards.
Do the math. That's 187 town hall meetings per year, or a meeting in Tennessee every other day for 16 years, including weekends, holidays, vacations, and time spent running for president in 1988 and for vice president in 1992.

gore a loser?
al gore was on a winning presidential ticket.
can't say the same for McSame. he's never even been on a winning presidential ticket, or any presidential ticket til now. he's lost every pres primary up to this point.
Gore's already done everything McSame has done, and more.
nobel prize winner
oscar winner
Vice President of the US
US Senator
is this your defintion of a loser?

Gee, Nixie, and others of like mind, such anger! Such vitriol! Such hatred!
It just bubbles over--like Gore was...well, who?
Hitler?
The antichrist?
Satan?
He must touch quite a few nerves to elicit such an irrational, protest-too-much reaction so late in the day!
Oh, I know! He wanted some people to scale-down their walloping consumption for the common good.
Hmmmm.
I've got it!
He's a Commie!
That's it!
(Or do I mean a Marxist?)

Nixie has it right. I cut back on consumption and could be considered a socialist. I still gotta sit back and laugh my ass off over Al Gore. He's good comedy material, much as GWB can be at times. South Park's Manbearpig is probably why I gotta laugh about him. My analysis of this endorsement-
Like most endorsements, ultimately, it will mean nothing. I just hope Obama doesn't get connected to the same jokes that plague Al Gore in the Midwest! That's the place he's gotta win in November to win this election! Luckily, he's doing quite well in Iowa polls and is slightly ahead in Missouri according to Rasmussen!
