Why Gore/Clark is the best choice

Unless it's Al Gore. Al Gore has been on the correct side of every important issue, from the war to global warming. And let me state, if you haven't seen Al Gore in the last 6 years, you would hardly recognize him! The stiff, poll following, wimpy, boring guy who ran in 2000 is gone... Gore is filled with the kind of passion that the Democratic party is desperate for. He's got enough anger to give me the red meat I crave but he's seen as a moderate by those who don't keep as close tabs as we who get our news from the internet. He's perfect. I will not vote for Hillary. I worked my ass off for someone I knew couldn't win in the last election. I would have worked hard for ANY DEMOCRAT to get bush out.... but this time it's different. I am angry with the democratic senators & congressmen from Rohm Emanuel to Chuck Schumer, those who kept their mouths shut at a time when this nation needed them the most. So I'm done working for who ever wins the primary, this time I'm voting my conscience. Al Gore fills all my qualifications and I believe he can win.
So, WHO TO RUN WITH GORE..... I would then push for Clark. Why? It's simple... look at all the polls, the only poll Bush still ranks high on is the "who will protect you" question. The republicans may look pathetic now but wait until 2008 comes around, right around the summer months when the race is really heating up.. that's when the republicans are going to pull out the "you won't be safe with Democrats" bat and pound us into smithereens. There is really no way to stop them, it worked like a charm in 2004, Cheney even had the gall to say we would "definitely be attacked again if a Democrat was elected". It's a huge problem for most Democrats running and I believe it is the reason why Hillary and many of those Democrats interested in the presidential race, continue to stand by there Iraq war vote, They sound like fools. So, why do these intelligent people stick by such an obviously and tragically bad choice???? Because they are terrified of being called weak on defense. They truly believe that even though this war is so unpopular, immoral and most Americans believe bush lied, the democrats are trapped and can't figure a way out. So, what have they done, they have completely alienated the base. I say make Clark the VP. Every time the Republicans say democrats can't keep the country safe, bring out General Clark and take a picture of those 4 stars. I think he's the only person who can deflect the only issue the Republicans continue to own.
Go
Gore/Clark... I'd start working for that ticket today!!!
