God, still doing the "paranoia and name dropping" thing, eh, Mick? The only one I see trying to make the thread about you is you. And like you're one to talk about "typical partisan rant"-s. The only difference between Doug's post and one of yours is that Doug knows how to keep it short. Oh, and that he doesn't drop names.

That said, I think you're wrong, Doug. I believe Gore's reasons for not running. I think Gore could have beaten Bush in 2004, and I think he knows it. Bush isn't anywhere near as popular as the polls suggest he is, and will be even less popular in two years. In fact, I think Gore was perhaps the only Democrat who could beat Bush in 2004. Not with my vote, but still.

And I liked Gore on SNL. Especially the Trent Lott thing. :)
