    Gore for president! The guy has a brain, and he is famous now. He should run for sure.

      Here are a couple of electoral maps from when Bill Clinton ran. 1992 http://www.presidentelect.org/e1992.html and 1996 http://www.presidentelect.org/e1996.html

      As you can see he won some southern states. Remember, the Clinton's are from the south and know how to connect with people in that part of the world. In the last election there were 4 southern states where Bush beat Kerry, an uber liberal, by less than 10%. So those states could be in play this next time around.

        Yeah I pretty much predict a Clinton Obama Ticket.

        If NY swings Republican because of Giuliani, it's all over and pointless. So it's going to be very tough for the Dems to win if Rudi gets the Republican ballot.

          Probably not, but I'm sure either Clinton or Obama can find someone down there who'll deliver at least one or two and maybe more southern states.

            Maybe a Mondale Ferraro ticket would do well...

              Bill Clinton is a white male. I'm not so sure a woman and a black could do the same thing he did. In fact, they may just swing some of those blue southern states to red.

                It really is hard to say. A woman and a black guy on a ticket would be uncharted waters. There are a lot of polls that says the nation claims to be ready for something like this, but how they will vote is another thing all together.

                The election is still so far away so many things can happen to swing people one way or another and we still can't discount someone coming out of nowhere and making a splash.

                  You forget that the election is based on the electoral college ( I believe wrongly so but that is another debate for another time.) Kerry, a super liberal senator came within one state, Ohio, of beating Bush in that election.
                  I know how elections are run. Yes Kerry ALMOST won OHIO, Gore ALMOST won Florida. You don't get electoral votes for ALMOST. The dem candidates will have to win at least one southern state. Which one will vote for Hillary/Obamma combo.

                  Kery got 252 electoral votes. He narrowly lost NM by a few thousand votes. Edwards will win those 252 electoral votes anyways. Richardson should bring NM 5 votes to the dem side. That's 257 electoral votes. That means a Edwards/Richardson ticket would be just 13 electoral votes away from victory. S Carolina has 8, N Carolina has 15, Alabama and Louisianna have 9 each. Surely Edwards as the MAIN cadidate could snag two of those. Chances are certainly better than Hillary or Obamma. Also Bush barley won Nevada, Richardson being from the west and Hispanic could pull Nevada for them dems. Also Kerry barely lost Iowa a state Gore won and Edwards is very popular in Iowa.

                  Also, many of those red areas have very few people in them. Rural areas tend to vote republican. If you add up all the people that live in the red areas and all the people that live in the blue you would find out it is pretty close in number.
                  Doesn't matter total votes don't count. Bush only got 600 more votes than Gore in Florida he got 100% of the electoral votes. Why didn't Kerry win florida if Dems were so mad at Bush just 4 years earlier? There wasn't any fucked-up ballots in Palm Beach. Nader didn't get near the support in 2004 as he did in 2000, yet Kerry lost by 300,000 votes. For whatever reason Bush managed to get a sizeable hispanic vote. Richardson as VP would bring many of those votes back to the dem side. Obamma doesn't help with the black vote because 91% of blacks voted for Kerry in Florida anyways.

                  Hopefully dems will wake up like they did at the last minute and bail on Hillary adn Obamma like they did on Dean. I suspect though that dems will continue to be ingorant and fail to look at the BIG picture. A sizeable amount of people will NEVER accept a woman as prez let alone Hillary who mnay people HATE with a passion. And even more people will NEVER accpet a black man as Prez. Wake up dems and quit snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
