Gore Re-Emergence

By Aziz P. -
The name uppermost in Howard Dean's mind is probably "Al Gore" rather than George Bush. Dean's entire focus is on the primaries, and so it is certainly of interest that Gore's re-emergence is now underway. In addition to the Barbara Walters prime-time interview of Gore on ABSNEWS' 20/20 Friday (and web-only transcript excerpts that were unbroadcast), there is also a comprehensive profile of Gore by Liza Mundy in the Washington Post magazine. Both are must-see for Dean fans to gauge the true extent of just how much a behemoth Gore's full emergence will be.

If a Gore nomination is inevitable, then a veep nomination would be a wonderful consolation prize. While there is real dissatisfaction with Gore on the part of the party faithful, there is no denying that he has a leadership role in the party and heavy grassroots support. It's worth keeping an eye on him.

Gore is scheduled to admit that he is running again in 2004 in December. Stay tuned...

Am I missing something here?

Five Things Dean Supporters Can Do Right Now to Fight Terrorism

Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
