How would Dean react to Gore's return?
I am a little nervous about such possibilities.
Dean has a way of coming off pretty abrasive.
I am a Dean supporter, but if Gore came back I don't know what would happen. Any opinions?

2. "Now what am I supposed to do with all this money I raised?"
LOL (and I am a Dean supporter, btw). But.....gosh...if Gore entered the race....it would all be over for every single one of the dem prez candidates. UNLESS.....and this is big one for GORE.......UNLESS he asks Lieberman to be his running mate.

And believe me, I will look VERY CLOSELY at who he chooses for VP.

I didn't have a clue who Lieberman was when I voted for Gore. Not a clue. And the only silver lining about election 2000 IS that we don't have Lieberman as a VP. I have no doubt in my mind that Gore would have met with an early demise, had he taken the oval office. No doubt in my mind.

3. That's a tough one
But more for Gore, perhaps, than Dean or whomever.

I think Gore will have to show everyone (Dean supporters, Kerry supporters, Kucinich supporters, etc.), that he's toughened up, learned hard lessons from the 2000 debacle, and that he is ready to speak out with a clear vision that isn't GOP-lite, and then be ready to fight back hard against the Bush/Rove smear machine.

And, Al, don't sigh during the debates, dammit. :evilgrin:

4. Gore has already shown that last September...
...in a series of speeches. Do a search and find the speeches. He came out strong against the Bushies and the pending corporate state. (Which is why the DLC rejected him).

5. How would Dean react?
how would they all react? it would affect the campaigns of all of them. Frankly, I think Dean's would be the least affected in that I think he has the most committed supporters. Yesterday I worked Farmers Market tabeling for Dean and countless people came up to the table wanting information or just saying how much they supported Dean. I spoke to some who said they were ex-Gore supporters and asked what would happen if AG got back in the race, they said they would continue to support Dean. Not that he wouldn't lose some support==but I get the feeling that Dean's support is more firm than some of the other candidates.

p.s.
now after writing all of this I just gotta say I really doubt Gore is coming back in.

They will do what it takes to get Bush out.
