Huff Po blogger: Al Gore will be the Democratic nominee for the 2008
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rodes-fishburne/shoulda-coulda-woulda-_b_21140.html

"The second thing Al Gore doesn’t know he has going for him is even more rarefied: Because of the way the narrative has spun itself out, for the first time in modern politics he will be able to run on the S-C-W platform. This is the Shoulda Coulda, Woulda position that whispers in polite but firm tones into the many ears of the national psyche, “If you’d voted for me, we wouldn’t be in this mess.” It’s a powerful unspoken reminder that exists behind every campaign speech, every bumper sticker, and every blog posting. More than one indicator suggests that by 2008 the S-W-C platform will only be gaining in momentum."

5. I believe he is the only candidate that
can unite this party.
I also believe he is one of the very few men in the world who can even begin to fix this mess we are in.

15.  I think that there is something about the C-S-W theory
This past week several people, myself included, have completely independently of each other had this thought "perculating" through them. I had had this thought, then SNL comes out with there skit which plays on the same theme, and now Mr. Fishbrne's post. I'd say the cosmos are thick with thoughts & prayers of repentent bush* voters.


Call it the Coulda-Woulda-Shoulda vote, or you can call it by the name that I have given it, the Act of Contrition vote ;) Whatever it is, I believe that it could result in an OVERWHELMING win for Gore in the general election--a large enough margin to overcome Diebold.
