Reply #86: I'd pick Hillary over Al Gore in a heartbeat [View All]

and I'm the original Al Gore supporter. In 1992 I told people who I would be voting for President eight years in advance.

I still like Al Gore alot, but Hillary is the face of the Democratic Party, and that's precisely the way it should be. She is exactly the right candidate for the left at exactly the right time. Every week that goes by in this campaign proves it more and more.

Right now it is frustrating, and sadly, angering, competing progressives as they realize the mounting inevitability of it. I'd probably feel alot worse about that if so many of their supporters weren't such unreconstructed assholes about it.

But what is going to be fantastic, with NO misgivings whatsoever, is when the inevitability of Hillary's Presidency becomes progressively more apparent to Republicans THROUGHOUT 2008. It will be worse than Bob Dole's sad campaign against Bill in 1996. The real winners of the Republican nomination are going to be the ones who lose that nomination, because the winner of that nomination contest is ultimately going to be the biggest loser.

I don't want to gloat about that. I just want Hillary to turn this country around. And she will.
