[lbo-talk] the new Gore

[Steven L. Robinson]

If Gore has Presidential  aspirations then he would have to somehow distinguish himself from his two main rivals - Hilary and Kerry. Given the position that the Clinton's have staked out, he can hardly outflank her from the right, so he has move in the opposite direction. A Clinton/Gore battle for the Dem nomination could be a battle royal.  Assuming Gore wins the nomination, it should be interesting to see the contortions and rationalizations he makes to return to his accustomed place on the political spectrum.  Even more interesting, and sad, are the contortions and rationalizations that many progressives and those on the left will inevitably end up making  to support either Hilary or Gore in the general election.

Many Democrats are excited about the thought of the "new Al Gore,"
the post-2000 Gore, the Gore who goes around the media, says what he 
thinks, and lets the chips fall where they may.

Is it any better than the New Nixon?  Or the New Coke? "Sugar" Frosted Al Gore with aspartame?
