What if Mr Gore Ran for President?

And, my mother's question, "Who are the remaining 30-odd percent that think Bush is doing a good job?"

The anwer to her question is remarkably easy: the same 30% that believe that the hundred billion or so species of creatures on the planet lived within walking distance of Noah's house, that the immense resources and deforestation required to build such a vessel to house those 200-billion animals (male and female) existed, that Noah knew in the first place how to build boats, and that the boat wouldn't capsize under such pressure, and either that Adam and Eve rode domesticated dinosaurs to church, and that God is lying to us by putting giant bones in the earth and giant reptilian skulls with teeth nearly the size of human heads. Under their perverse form of reasoning, Bush is creating a good, Christian society and laying the foundation for The Handmaid's Tale to become a reality. These 30% also believe that God/Jesus/Mahound will magically restore anew whatever damage, no matter how catastrophic or extensive, done to the only planet we have.

Keep this in mind for my first query.

So, if Al Gore ran for president, and provided people have wizened up to their catastrophic mistake, given the percent of people who voted in 2004, rounghly 30% or so voted for Bush. Who were these 30%? Look above. Now, for the remaining 68-70% (I'm sure they'll jump in after what their neutrality has done), the minute Al Gore announces his candidacy, the race is basically sealed in his favor, even if the D-3 keep fighting (Democratic 3: Clinton, Obama, and Edwards) it out. The conservatives, however, would have not a chance in the hell they created. The remaining 30-32% who would be manipulated against Mr Gore (for questionable motives), would basically have full reign over the Red primary election, and it might just be Mr Brownbottom. No matter.

What would Gore have to do? Nothing: Go all in and sit back and watch them fold. He has an Oscar award (name one person who hasn't heard of An Inconvenient Truth) and a new book out, which I just bought today.

No more Christian BS. No more nation-building. No more manipulating scientific reports. No more sycophants in high positions. Mr Gore, we need you.
