She is the reason for Gore not winning she kept pushing him down when he was VP. She wanted to be second in command and so she took it upon herself to make sure he was not successful.

As the VP to one of the greatest American Presidents, and on the heels of a truly golden era for this country, Mr. Gore should have won hands down. As he turned his back on the Clintons and refused to let them help him win, he turned his back on victory and lost much credibility. Now, the Democratic Party is poised to lose another election thanks to Barack Obama and Mr. Gore has been dragged out of political retirement to punctuate the close of what promises to be a painful and contentious convention. As the most left-wing, flawed, unqualified and divisive nominee ever chosen by the DNC, Mr. Obama has already secured his place in history as the Democratic Party’s worst nominee ever. The future of the Democratic Party is truly in question. The election of 2000 was an amazing opportunity for Al Gore.

First the Clintons and now sighing, lying Al Gore. What will be the content of Gore's speech? More insane alarmism about the dying Earth? In the environmentalist religion, Al Gore is the high priest or, in the least, thinks he is. I'm sick of the Clintons and sick of Al Gore. If Obama represents change, then why in the world are we seeing the same people over and over again. Obama, learn the definition of change. Biden, Gore and the Clintons do NOT represent change.

Guess what? Gore still lost. Get over it already. If all you Dems still have the delusion that Gore won in 2000, no wonder you've been conned by the Obama fantasy. Still I have to admit that Gore would be a better nominee than Obama. At least he's got more than 5 minutes of experience. Bob, A group of newspapers finished the FL recount in 2000. Guess what?

I feel that after a Tuesday night with the Clintons it is fine to see someone with chararcter stand next to Senator Obama. Have all of these Hillary fans remember the White House in the years of the Clintons. There was no moral character at all. If you really want to see the election go to the Reupblicans, keep shouting Hillary. Everyone should know that the Clintons are losers when it comes to morals and the Republicans will really play it up. Lets turn the page on all of this baggage and elect someone fresh and new with a vision and ideas for this nation that is SENATOR OBAMA.
