Good for Hillary, Bad for the Left

Hey folks,

Good Monday morning to you. I guess the biggest news over the weekend, that a lot of the mainstream mass media is trying to forget, is this statement,

"I have no plans to be a candidate for president again. I don't expect to ever be a candidate for president again, I can't imagine any circumstances in which I would become a candidate again. I've found other ways to serve. I'm enjoying them," Al Gore told "This Week"and ABC program,,,, He added,,

"I honestly believe that the highest and best use of my skills and experience is to try to change the minds of people in the US and elsewhere in the world about this planetary emergency that we simply have to confront,"

This leaves, as of now, the other leading contenders for the Democrat nomination including Senators Hillary Clinton of New York, Russ Feingold of Wisconsin and John Kerry of Massachusetts, a better chance.

But is this a good thing? Great for Hillary, but this is bad for the Left. Well, you know this is actually GOOD for them, but they do not see it as such. Here is the problem, there are many in the Democratic party that do NOT want Hillary to run in 08. One, they do not feel she will win, and two, they want Bill Clinton working for the UN. So who was the Left Wing Fringe leaning on? Yup, you guessed it, Al.

Al Gore’s statements will tear an even wider division in the Left. Now those that wanted Hillary out, have to get behind someone else. Like Kerry? How do you think that this will sit with Hillary to begin with? Not good for "relationships".

But here is why this could be GOOD for the Democrats. Maybe, just maybe, they will finally say, enough with those that have so much baggage. Those that have name recognition, but in a very bad way. We need a new face, with a plan, to take us in a new direction.. You know, someone that may actually get us a win.. Or maybe they will just continue to play games and loose..
