Rawstory- Media psychology firm sees Gore landslide, Clinton flop
Little-known media psychology firm sees Gore landslide, Clinton flop
RAW STORY
Published: Thursday June 1, 2006

A new behavior prediction tool by a media psychology firm is forecasts a landslide victory for former Democratic Vice President Al Gore in the 2008 presidential election should he run for office -- but says if Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) wins the Democratic nod, any potential Republican challenger will emerge victorious, RAW STORY has learned. More from their release (hat tip Political Wire:

snip
"Despite the widespread public dissatisfaction with the George W. Bush administration, our results showed even greater ill-feelings toward potential Democratic challengers,” says Dr. Herndon. “But there was one exception: Al Gore.”

“With a predictive accuracy of 93%, our results showed that Al Gore would easily defeat any Republican challenger in 2008. However, he is the only Democrat on the scene today who has the ability to defeat the likely Republican challengers, who we believe will be either John McCain or Jeb Bush.”

Results were not rosy for Hillary Clinton. “Hillary Clinton would suffer a disastrous defeat at the hands of any Republican who receives the nomination,” states Dr. Herndon.

Should Al Gore decide not to seek the 2008 nomination, the Democrats “have their work cut out for them,” according to Dr. Herndon."

1. I love Al Gore but WTF is wrong with people?
"Despite the widespread public dissatisfaction with the George W. Bush administration, our results showed even greater ill-feelings toward potential Democratic challengers,” says Dr. Herndon. “But there was one exception: Al Gore.”

I'll take a Gore nod, but dammit, what is wrong with people that they dislike the rest of the Dems? My CAT could run this country better than the freaking chimp on coke. Good God.

4. All of us with a brain have been saying this for months.
Hillary would be the republicans only shot at winning the office again, that is why the republican money men back her and why all the republicans want her as the candidate.

Glad a study confirms what most of us alread know.
