How about another chance to vote for Al?
How about another chance to vote for Al?
By ADAM C. SMITH, Times Political Editor
Published October 28, 2007

Buzz is just thinking out loud here. Democratic Senate and House leaders Steve Geller and Dan Gelber and state Democratic chairwoman Karen Thurman have full discretion to put any name they want on the Jan. 29 primary ballot, but they must make the call within a few days.

So why not throw Al Gore onto Florida's presidential primary ballot? Geller says he's open to the idea, and Gelber said he has had a number of people e-mail him about it.

Heck, most of the Democratic candidates are boycotting Florida's primary and even refused to send their spouses to mix with party regulars in Orlando this weekend. Why not have some fun with it and add a Nobel Peace Prize winner to the ballot? Call it a favor to those Palm Beachers who accidentally voted for Pat Buchanan in 2000 and want another chance to vote for Gore.

2. Maybe this dropped because
DU was running pretty slow last night. Or maybe no one is interested. Still, I'll kick it for the morning crowd. Just wonderin' what others have to say about it.
