Gore/Obama: Perfect ticket?

<p>I think it’s a great idea! Can you imagine how many people would be galvanized to vote, because they believe that Gore should rightfully have president all along? Hillary is too polarizing - too many people hate her. But even those who voted for bush and disliked Gore at the time, don’t seem to have the kind of hate for him that they have for Hillary. Therefore I think Gore is the better candidate. And Obama is the perfect VP - he already is so popular on his own, but there are those who think he isn’t experienced enough…so Gore would provide that experience.</p>

<p>I’d be happy with either of them, but together…wow! It would be a powerful ticket!</p>

<p>I don’t think a good candidate is one who is almost universally disliked.</p>

3

<p>Sure, former Hollywood actors make good presidents. Of course, the chances of the o|o ticket (Oscar/Obama) happening are slim to none.</p>

4

<p>I kinda like Hillary more than I like Al Gore. (And I don’t usually vote that side of the aisle… :wink: )</p>

5

<p>Who are you saying is ‘almost universally disliked’? (That would apply to our current whitehouse occupant.)</p>

6

<p>Gore was almost universally disliked during the last election he was in.</p>

7

<p>Gee, I thought he got most of the votes…what am I missing?</p>

8

<p>People vote for candidates they dislike all the time, Lorelei. </p>

<p>I’m just saying that I do not believe he would play a role on a “perfect” ticket.</p>

9

<p>Right, lorelei!</p>

<p>And, look at how much MORE bush is disliked now than he was 6 years ago!</p>

10

<p>hillary is crap, gore is a hippy, and obama is just a very smart man.
i fear obama could give giuliani or mccain a run for their money.</p>

11

<p>I prefer Clinton/Gore.</p>

12

<p>Obama is this elections Howard Dean, but without the kick ass speech.</p>

13

<p>If Gore were a good politician/candidate, he would be finishing up his second term. He’s not.</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>Is that supposed to be an insult?</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>Eh, not necessarily. It was just because of the obsolete electoral college, and the corruption in Florida.</p>

16

<p>

</p>

<p>If Gore had been a better politician/candidate, the race would never have been close enough for the Bush family connections in Florida and the Supreme Court to deliver the election.</p>

17

<p>I don’t need a “perfect” ticket. Gore/Obama works for me.</p>

18

<p>I’d vote for them.</p>

19

<p>While I will vote for whomever the Democrats nominate (my father once said “I’d vote for a yellow dog before I’d vote for Nixon” and I know exactly how he felt), my perfect ticket would be Richardson for Prez and Obama for VP of Charisma.</p>

<p>I hate to be one of those people correcting spelling/grammar in other posts, but one misspelling drives me crazy. The word “hippy” applies to larger-than-normal hips. It is not the correct spelling of “hippie.” According to the Lewis and Clark College Pioneer Log:

</p>

<p>And, btw, hippies did not necessarily call themselves hippies.</p>

<p>But now that I re-read the quote above, about the word referring to people unsuccessfully attempting to be hip, it is a perfect term to apply to Karl Rove’s hip hop singing and dancing! (but to be fair, this could apply to almost any politician)</p>
