Al Gore Returns?

Rumor has it that Al Gore is secretly pulling together advisors for a possible presidential campaign.

Will he run?

If he does, he will certainly have the upperhand on Hillary and Barack Obama. Mr. Gore is looked upon by liberal Democrats as the president-who-should-have-been and some have gone so far as to call him Mr. President. This puts Mr. Gore squarely in the realm of hero-worship and this is something Hillary and Obama can't touch.

Is the hero worship reasonable? No-- but this is irrelevant, the hero-worship exists anyway.

Mr. Gore is a liberal's liberal. His pro-abortion position is secure despite his apparent flip-flopping on the abortion issue from his days in the Senate. If he became president we would certainly see the most liberal governing policies adopted. We would likely see the White House become a testing ground for eco-fuels, recycled products and carbon credits regardless of their effectiveness.

Mr. Gore would happily lead our country into its most liberal and detrimental age yet. The fact that he has the greatest chance of winning-- should he run-- should alarm us all.

John Kerry Keeps the Door Open

Over the weekend, John Kerry made several comments that, in the world of politics, quickly became rumor of a possible 2008 run.

Kerry and his wife have been touring the country promoting their new book on environmentalism. At one book signing, Kerry was apparently asked if he would run again and his reply indicated that he was leaving it open in the "years" or "months" to come.

Of course, Kerry throwing himself into the fray will not change the Democratic line-up. All of the candidates are cookie-cutter liberals.
