I love Al Gore, but I wonder what he thinks about his VP choice today.

I wonder if they even speak any more. (And yet despite everything that's happened, it is a measure of how without conscience, how depraved, how stone fucking evil Dick Cheney is, that I still believe the traiterous piece of shit would have made a better VP than the one we were saddled with for 8 long years.)

1. He's probably regretting the decision

and should have picked Russ Feingold.

He's even better to the Jewish population than Lieberfuck.

4. Or Paul Wellstone

Imagine VP Paul Wellstone. Then he wouldn't have been on that plane. :(

Sheila could have taken his Senate seat if Gore/Wellstone had won.

2. more funny I wonder what people that voted against Gore

think about his VP choice today. To me that's the big L O L. Since the VP has so little power, getting him out of the senate would have been a good thing and he turns out to actually appeal to the conservative base Gore was trying to reach... I imagine it was a good choice.

7. That is why I'm not so quick to say that the election was stolen because

progressives had to know that Joe was a fuck up and stayed home.

3. I always wondered how much pressure was on Gore to choose LIEberman...

And from whom.

There is always pressure.

6. I know for a fact that Gore lost votes because of Lieberman

And Lieberman was red meat to the Nader people.

9. I couldn't believe it when he picked that dickhead ...

Worst choice ever. In his attempt to get the Jewish vote in Florida, Gore erred horribly. Horribly.

10. I was in polling at the time. And there was just no sign of the 'Clinton fatigue' that Republicans

talked about. In EVERY poll it showed that Clinton would have beaten Gore, Bush or Bush and Gore had he been able to run.

In selecting a self-righteous non-Clinton, he kind of gave in to that. I wonder who told him it was a good idea.

I thought he should have chosen another Vietnam/military vet and had camouflage bumper stickers to get that 3% of white, male southerners that would have put him over the top.
