Jon Bon Jovi on Al Gore: "I think the needle is closer to an absolute 'No' than it is to a 'Yes'. "

Right now, however, he betrays disenchantment with his country. Its political system is broken and "I don't know anyone out there who can fix it," he admits. "It's the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire if we don't straighten up." While Bon Jovi may have gleefully joined Gore on the election trail in 2000, he made similar appearances beside John Kerry in 2004, "because Gore told me to". As for 2008, he will only be available publicly to support the Democrat candidate if he actually believes in them. "I have to do my homework this time, because I am not just showing up." He says he knows and likes Hillary Clinton ("Mrs C") and is looking forward to meeting Barack Obama. "I am ready to be swept off my feet." He wishes Gore would get off the fence and run for President again, but he is not hopeful. "I think the needle is closer to an absolute 'No' than it is to a 'Yes'. That is the way to phrase it the best, and I talk to him a lot."

Sure...he is the one that knows.:eyes:

the guy has Gore over to his house more than once a year, more than most can say.

He's pretty astute. His first choice in 2004 was Wesley Clark, a guy casual/wannabe politicos tend to overlook or not even know any details about.

and as BIG AL recently said he has no plans to be candidate again.

More likely, I think this is a case of JBJ's gigantic ego assuming Gore would confide in him; as if he was that important. :eyes:

Not that this means anything, but I went to college with JBJ's cousin; the guy's obnoxious.

Whatever you say...









btw...I used to walk the third cousin of the sister of WJC's dog...what a crapper...

that's cool if you don't believe me. It's true though. :hi:
