As bizarre as it may seem, the possibility of Al Gore jumping back into the 2004 presidential race appeals to me. First, let me say there is now way I'd be voting for the creator of the Internet. I'm a Bush supporter through and through. However, the current slate of Democratic candidates inspire me about as much a bucket of hog slop. That is, I'm inspired to take the mess of them, throw 'em out to the hogs, and later enjoy the fruits of my labor by having some tasty bacon and BBQ. I'm not sure whether the slop would poison the hog, though.
In any event, I say bring back Gore. Once more in '04. His credentials and experience put the other candidates to shame. A rested and re-tooled Gore could very well have returned to his old conservative Southern Democrat ways and be more than a spot better than he was in 2000. It's a little sad that the various Dem powers that be advised him to hang it up previously. Of course, they were probably already dreaming of hitvhing their coattails to whom they believed to be the next rising star for the Democratic party. Unfortunately, here they are 16 months out from the general election and approximately 6 from the first primaries and none of them have caught fire. So for my part, I hope its more Gore in Oh-4. I'll campaign against him and for Bush again, but at least we could see an epic rematch.
