...EVEN AL GORE JUMPED ON YOU LAST WEEK. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE NEW AL GORE? I'm not convinced it's a new Gore. I think it's the same Gore that has always been around--unhinged. I'm sitting here, as a guy on the radio, and I'm listening to all of these different factions on the left do whatever they can to get me discredited, and I'm saying to myself, Why? I don't make policy. I am some guy on the radio, and I'm being targeted almost as much as the President...
...anyone nostalgic for the vigor of a Howard Dean speech, AL GORE may seem an unlikely fill-in. But the once wooden former Veep is reinventing himself as a finger-jabbing political firebrand. In a speech at New York University, he lashed out at the war in Iraq, demanded the resignation of six key Administration officials and called Bush "the most dishonest President since Richard Nixon." With growls for emphasis...
...Gore or even Colin Powell were President, the U.S. and Britain would almost certainly not be in this Vietnam-like quagmire. A blinkered President and his Secretary of Defense, ignoring the warnings of many, implemented a gung-ho unilateralism that has alienated allies and is sending thousands of angry young men into the arms of Osama bin Laden. Do Americans realize how low their country's reputation has sunk? The 9/11 attacks were a tragedy, but they provided an opportunity for a police action against terrorists that, combined with multilateral diplomacy, could have won the battle for Muslim hearts...
Although Nader rejects the idea that he cost Al Gore the 2000 election, it is an article of faith among Democratic leaders that he did. In Florida and New Hampshire, the number of Nader votes was significantly greater than Bush's thin margin of victory; Gore would be President had he won either state. "In 2000 we made a mistake because we ignored Nader for months," says Gore's former campaign manager Donna Brazile. "We gave him time not only to build a credible movement but also to get inside battleground states and hold huge rallies...
...puts the Democrats in a delicate situation. As long as Nader is in the race, Kerry will need to tend his left flank, which could make it harder for him to appeal to centrist swing voters. Come fall, Kerry could also find himself in a situation similar to what Gore faced--be forced to spend precious time and money campaigning in states like Washington and Maine that, without Nader in the race, would be solidly in his column...
