Unstoppable!
That’s what Gore allegedly thinks Hillary is, hence no Gore run. CNN:
WASHINGTON (CNN) — A source involved in Gore’s past political runs told CNN that he definitely has the ambition to use the peace prize as a springboard to run for president.
But he will not run, because he won’t take on the political machine assembled by Sen. Hillary Clinton, said the source. If the senator from New York had faltered at all, Gore would take a serious look at entering the race, the source said. But Gore has calculated that Clinton is unstoppable, according to the source.
Gore repeatedly denied he has any plans to run again, but this week a group of grass-roots Democrats calling themselves “Draft Gore” took out a full-page ad in The New York Times in a bid to change his mind. (Watch more on the movement to draft Gore)
Hmmmm. Clinton unstoppable? In October ‘07? He doesn’t want it bad enough. Either that, or she’s got something on him. Or maybe, he’s just scared of her.
Or, especially in the wake of this week’s ruling in Britain, he may be aware that you can fool 5 Norwegians most of the time, and you can fool the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences all of the time, and you can even fool 48 percent the American electorate half of the time, but you can’t fool 49 percent of them the other half of the time.
Uh Oh. Fly circles ointment.

Der Spiegel opines that, with the Nobel Prize under his belt, Gore is now too much of a political superstar to run for mere president.

I think they’re right. He’s much too good to be merely president. Do you think he’d take Master of the Universe?

I figure The Goreacle™’s ego is way too fragile to risk another lost bid for the White House, especially against his arch-nemesis, The Glacier (aka Hillary!!!); I question that she’s unstoppable, but she certainly has a serious shot at the Oval Office (God help us).
Seriously. Gorezilla has chicks swooning over him (idiot chicks, but their IQ isn’t the focus of his attention), scads of cash coming in from willing marks, top ratings in the MSM, direct access to many governments (possibly more than the White House does)………and virtually no accountability for anything he does.
Why throw all that away merely to be President? Or worse, remind the world what a real loser he is, and kill the goose that lays the golden egg? And have to concede defeat again? I don’t think that he would survive the humiliation.

Take on Hillary? Ron Brown, Vince Foster.

I have to agree that President of the United States would be a step down from alGore’s present status as God. As scary as Hillary is, I find the Goreacle much scarier.

There is a bright side to all of this. If Hillary!!! gets into the Oval Office (a terrifying thought, but stay with me), and The Goreacle™ continues with His ministry, I imagine that sparks will fly. ‘Cuz, sure as Billy Jeff likes interns, The Goreacle™ will criticize the President of the United States.
Given that there’s no love lost between those two, it’ll be fun either watching The Glacier gritting her teeth to be civil, or seeing that pair maneuver around each other for some mutual backstabbing.
Of course, our fair nation will suffer mightily under The Glacier’s “leadership”, so that would be a bitter second prize. But I am trying to find comfort in small things…..it may become an essential survival skill down the road.
