More "progressive" thought

So now you've got two narcissists running for the democratic nomination; bogging it down to a stalemate. What do you do?

Considering that neither Obamania nor The Billary will step aside for each other, I'm sure both would be more than willing to step aside for Al "The Goricle".

Therefore, if the Democrats want to have their best chance to win an election in November that six months ago it looked like they couldn't lose, they may have only one option at this point: they can turn to Al Gore.

In truth, Gore would be a stronger candidate in November than the two front-runners. He knows what it's like to run in a tough presidential campaign, which, as we're finding out with Obama, is a huge advantage. He is, after all, a Nobel Prize winner; he has the advantage of now running from outside Washington even though he's as experienced as John McCain; and he might be able to pick off a Southern state or two. He's already won once - with an asterisk. And he could put the electoral focus back on the economy and the Republican record of the past eight years - which it will rarely be as long as Clinton or Obama is the nominee.

Hey Jimma Carter is a Nobel winner as well, and he's actually won an election, maybe the party can bring him back.
