Gore to the Rescue!

As unlikely as it sounds, Al Gore could actually wind up being the top of the Democrats ticket this fall. Even though
Al Gore has repeatedly said, he is not a candidate for the Dem's nomination; circumstances could very well put him in the driver's seat.

How could it happen? Sooner or later, it will dawn on the Democrats that Obama is a damaged and unelectable candidate against McCain. What works for him in the primaries, namely the race issue, works against him in the main fall election. No matter how strong his support from the Black community, there is not enough of them to elect him.

Obama's negatives have been on the rise ever since the Reverend Wright affair and there is more to come out about his relation with domestic terrorist William Ayers. Barack Obama has had a knack for surrounding himself with extremists over the years. Although nobody can peer into the heart of a man, the company a man keeps speaks volumes about that person. The Reverend Wright has proven himself a racist by his own words. Barack attended the million-man march sponsored by the Nation of Islam leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan. Barack also attended a Moslem school in Indonesia as a youth. Why is the Moslem school important? Because it begs the question, how much of that environment still lurks within Barack?

A lot of circumstance reinforces the doubts about Barack Obama. His refusal to wear the American flag lapel pin and his wife's statements about how bad this country is all point to a man that has been less than candid with the American people about who he really is. These issues will be exploited a lot more in the upcoming Presidential race.

It is hard to see how Barack Obama can survive the questions about his patriotism and win the election. However, there is another option. Obama can release all of his delegates to Gore. Gore would then choose Barack for the second spot on the ticket. Gore, a rock star among the Liberals was just narrowly defeated in the Electoral College in 2000 although he won the popular vote.

By accepting the number 2 spot on the ticket, Obama would have the opportunity to shed those negatives that surround him. The Vice President's position would give Barack the necessary platform to demonstrate that he is a loyal mainstream American and not an extremist in disguise. If all goes well for him, he would be in the driver's seat following a Gore Presidency.

Hilary's negatives are also too high to beat McCain and there is nowhere for her to go. She would be an unlikely choice by the Democratic Party even if things go bad for Barack before the convention in Denver. Gore is the only candidate with the gravitas to beat McCain. Look for Gore to emerge as the candidate for the Democrats..
