Gore takes away votes from Hillary

[jcrew2001]

In a CNN poll, Gore takes votes away from Hillary. I believe that Gore is unwilling to enter the race at this time because he does not want to go against Hillary, either for personal or political reasons. Perhaps he feels some loyalty to Bill Clinton in not challenging his wife.

Of course, if she drops in the polls, I think he would consider jumping in.

I think Clark is also hesistant to jump in the race, he's been really quiet, and I think he doesn't want to anger Bill/Hillary "Billary" - but of course Memorial Day would be a good day to announce for him.

I also think Clark is angling for a VP spot with Hillary.

"Obama and Edwards would see marginal drops in support, but Clinton would see her support decline from 36 percent to 30 percent, according to the poll. Gore, the 2000 Democratic nominee who won the popular vote but fell short in Electoral College votes, would draw 15 percent of the ballots if he entered the race, the poll states."

To me anyways. :shrug:

2. Why spin the article? Gore takes away votes from Obama and Edwards, too.

If former Vice President Al Gore enters the race -- although he has said repeatedly that he has no plans to -- support for Clinton, Obama and Edwards drops.

3. Votes in polls don't count, as we all know

I doubt Gore is going to run. He's said many times that he won't.

I'm convinced the media makes up stuff to be news. I can't pay a lot of attention to most of it.

6. I have a neighbor who believes that Howell Heflin should be president.

Nevermind that Howell Heflin is dead.

She knows he's dead, but she loves him anyway, no matter what, forever and ever amen.

Howell Heflin.
