Reply #37: My fat, old Republican boss [View All]

just said today that he would vote for Al Gore in a general election against anyone, whether he was running as a Democrat or an Independent. Mind you, this man takes Freeper stances on almost everything.

Why?

"I think it's time to elect the most intelligent person we can find. Stupid didn't work."

I'm still not sure I believe him, and even if he is telling the truth, it's likely that he's just scared to death of Hillary. (I'm not a Clinton supporter, but I do love how she terrifies fat, old Republican men.) But I just can't see Gore losing this if he can get an organization together in time. I can't imagine those who voted for him the last time changing their minds, and I think there are a ton of additional people out there - people like my boss - who feel some sort of guilt about their prior votes and are now hoping for atonement.

If Gore doesn't run, I most fear a Clinton-Romney match-up. Even under the present circumstances, Romney could very well win. And he is a very dangerous man. Every bit as evil as Bush, but glib, polished, intelligent and attractive. He's truly a frightening combination, especially considering the fact that Bush will be leaving behind a tattered Constitution and a framework that could be used to completely destroy what's left of it.

Run, Al, Run.
