Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
I'm not so sure a Gore/Obama ticket guarantees Republicans a win. Republican Party establishment types are still in denial as to why they were crushed in the mid-term elections. The party's voters distrust McCain, and while they admire Guiliani, I can't see the family values people lifting a hand for him. In their eyes, what does he offer that Obama doesn't? Two divorces and a third wife who acts like she belongs on Desperate Housewives?
We know that Gore has totally sold out his integrity to appeal to the radical left, and that Obama is old liberal nostrums in a new package, but the average voter sees them as concerned and idealistic. Gore is a very intelligent guy and it appears all his celebrity smoozing is helping him lighten up a bit. His ultimate plan may be to get the nomination in 2012 if the Democrats lose in '08 to a McCain who would then be 76. But I doubt he would turn down a draft movement if Hillary and Obama fell flat.
