Major Washington Post Pundit Comments on Al Gore

Howard Kurtz a Washington Post Staff Writer has put together an interesting piece of analysis and research on Al Gore, and the quest for the White House, in today's paper. Take a look at it today in the Post. I am much more upbeat about Gore and his chances of winning. My take on the election is simply this: if Al Gore runs for President he's going to win. And, he'll make it look easy against any of the republicans, including the likely nominee, Senator John McCain. The republicans are going to make the election about issues of defense and terrorism. The conservatives’ political operatives will pulverize any Democratic candidate who doesn’t have the credentials in these two areas. A Democratic candidate who hasn’t been in uniform will not be allowed to stay on message about anything like health care, the environment, jobs, globalization, etc. That’s why we need Al Gore. He’s got the right qualifications!
