i know it's my job to put the news on the website, but i'm not sure how gore backing obama is news.

really? al gore, the democratic president who wasn't, the continual star of the party, the nobel prize dude, backing the democratic candidate?

yeah.

it would have been a surprise if he came out and backed mccain. actually, it would have been a shock had he come out and backed hillary at this point. but after the dems made the distinction and it was down to just one candidate for the party, al gore officially endorsing him is just going through the motions.
a little late even.
maybe a quick endorsement right after hillary conceded would have made a little more sense.
even bush got it right. he came out and had a nice hand-holding session with mccain right after it became official that old john punched his party's ticket and was heading to the big dance.

oh big green al, how did you let w beat you at something again?

i know i'm jumping the gun here, but it looks like the possibility of an obama-clinton ticket this fall is still alive and well. in fact, it might be more viable now than ever before because of the peaceful, and often complimentary tone each candidate's campaign has had toward the other.

this might be the best thing that could happen to this country. i know that liberal politics scares people a lot, but we need something different after the past eight years of liberal spending and conservative social policies.

pissing away money to pay cheniburton to do the job that our troops are doing, but at a hundred times the price. and then at the same time, cutting funding for the veterans when they come back home. that's how this administration has thanked our troops. paying contractors way more to do way less and then giving them sub-par hospitals and healthcare when they come back home.

i'm looking forward to this new president. even if mccain wins, it'll be better than bush-cheney.
