President Gore - For Real?

Hey, Nixon did it and nobody ever really liked him.....

Andrew Sullivan explores a new ground swell of support for Al Gore.

.....My own preference for Bush over Gore in 2000 was primarily because I feared Gore would increase government spending and regulation too much. Yeah: I know....

[Note from Jeff: Andrew makes these type of mistakes almost constantly, but he is one of the saner and centered people on the blogosphere. The crushing of all his conservative ideals at the hands of the Bush's has been, in fact, painful to watch]

...Gore's credibility on the environment - a growing issue - his history of foreign policy hawkishness but opposition to the Iraq war, and his general association with what has become Clinton era nostalgia, do indeed make him an interesting possibility. Then there's just the karma. If we're looking to heal the wound of 2000, who better?
