Al Gore - Democratic Party candidate in 2008.

Quote from Jayford:

Yes, they CAN vote for another candidate in a brokered convention, but they won't. That's the point. Hillary's delegates are not going to leave her, and Obama's are not going to leave him. One would get over the top because the remaining delegates would be dealt to one or the other. That's what gives Edwards so much power. Or one of the front runners could toss in the towel for the VP job. I don't see either doing this.

Anyone who thinks Hill's delegates would jump to Gore, or even more amazing, Obama's jump to Gore, is simply delusional.
More...

the oligarchs want a global carbon tax... and they think Gore might be the best man for their script. i admit it is a long shot.... but there is a lot of time between now and nov.
 
doesn't matter what the oligarchs want. They don't choose the nominee anymore. pre 1972 yes.

Shit, as I write this I just heard Edwards is dropping out! I bet Hill or Obama just gave him a deal of some sort.

Let's see who he endorses!

There goes your brokered convention!!!!

Obama or Hill will now have a majority.

… Now that we know that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Party nominee, and John McCain it will represent the Republican Party the only question that it is left on the minds of most Americans who are not happy with the candidates that the political machine shoved down their throats – what happens next?

The Hillary / McCain presidential contest it will for sure bring in a 3rd party candidate, since millions of Americans will demand at least a 3rd choice.

Pool: What candidate do you like to see running as the 3rd party candidate in the November 2008 presidential election?

See result of pool at:

Al Gore has some political capital. Without political capital independents haven't a chance no matter how much money they have.
 
Thank God you finally gave up on Gore as Dem nominee. That was getting old.

As for a 3rd party candidate, definitely possible, but by no means a done deal as you state. You tend to state your opinions as facts. Could happen though.

I think Bloomberg is more likely to run as a third than Al is. The guy has been giving speeches all over the country. Now why would the NYC mayor do this?

Imo, Bloomberg is appalled at the partisanship and divisiveness of Washington. He realizes the gridlock and the lack of respect for the ideal of the "common good". I'm not sure he is going to accomplish much on uniting Washington but he is desperatly trying. If he is able to acquire a few allies without too much political baggage (or more political power) he may be able to bring some DC money to NYC.
 
I don't think either one will run as a third party, but if anyone did, it would be Bloomie.

I don't think Al even wants to run again, especially vs the Clintons.

I'm just replying to SA that it is "possible".

“Divide and Conquer the Ultimate Strategy.”
By: SouthAmerica - Fri Feb 01, 2008

Divide and Conquer is the Ultimate Strategy.

Divide and Conquer Theory

Divide and conquer was a successful military strategy long before it became an algorithm design paradigm. Generals observed that it was easier to defeat one army of 50,000 men, followed by another army of 50,000 men than it was to beat a single 100,000 men army. Thus the wise general would attack so as to divide the enemy army into two forces and then mop up one after the other.

Many people on this forum still have not grasped that the Democratic Party constituency have been divided into at least 2 groups – the women who are coming to Hillary’s rescue, and a large number of black voters who are siding with Obama – and many of these people are moving one way or another in a very divisive way that will leave deep scars behind, and the injury that has been inflicted it will not be able to heal in time for the November 2008 presidential election.

Here is why:

SA,

Good post. I agree. Imo, and I stated this before elsewhere, I do not see Hillary as finishing this race, I couldn't quite put my thoughts as to why or how she is out on paper but your conclusion makes the most sense.
