Al Gore following the Nixon Model for success?

There are just to many commonalities between Al Gore and Richard Nixon to not compare.

Both lost very close elections, both sat out the following elections, yet stumped tirelessly for other candidates.

Nixon Proclaimed he was not going to run for President, {he did and won}

Gore has stated he will not seek the presidential candidacy again. hmmm

Gore is the one person in the Democratic party that can rumble with Hillary Clinton and win, Gore has been fervently anti-war from the beginning, Hillary has not.

Gore can grab most of the Democratic base away from Hillary.

This next election should be interesting to watch.

Reply By: davad70Posted: Friday, March 03, 2006I realize that what conservatives think doesn't affect who gets the nomination, I was referring to how they will be labeled when the time comes.They do a straw poll every month at Kos. The latest one;

how are these moderates going to get out the liberal base? as the liberala base goes so goes the candidate.

Apparently they already have the support of the liberal base, according to the poll...there's still a long way to go though. I'm curious as to how the numbers would change if people thought Gore really intends to run.

I really don't think Feingold, Clark, or Warner are "kooky left fringe".

Forget Clark. He wont run. Of the other 2, no they are not on the kooky part. But that still leaves the 2 unknown answers to the questions:

1. How far to the left will they tack to win the nomination. What is said in the primary will be used in the general.

2. While Daily Kos is definitely kookie (perhaps not the readers, but the owners has lost a lot of grey cells), they are but part of the base. Have you checked out democratunderground.org?

And dont forget Howard Dean.

I saw a poll that has hillary as the front runner {sorry cannot remember poll name} with gore out she was winning by large margin, with gore in her margin was much smaller.
