[Politics] No Offense Jimmy, But You Will Only Ruin Al's Chances
According to Salon.com, Jimmy Carter has practically been begging Al Gore to join the 2008 race for the White House, and is preemptively giving Gore his endorsement. Smartly, Gore has nearly told Carter to stop calling him.
I really do respect Jimmy Carter, a man I consider to be of the best intentions, but, with each passing year, he somehow makes himself an even more divisive figure. His recent book accusing Israel of creating an apartheid state is only the latest move to enrage people on both the right and left. I, like many others, am starting to believe that Jimmy Carter just doesn't get how politics must change in a post-9/11 world.
I'd love to see Al Gore join the race too. I think he could bring a good perspective to our current political state. But, Mr. Carter, the surest way for his candidacy to sink to the bottom of the Potomac will be by receiving a public endorsement from you.

Good. Let Jimmy Carter ruin Al Gore’s chances for a bid at the White House in 2008. Gore’s perspective sucks and I for one am sick having to vote for crappy Democratic nominees because my choice is between them and an even crappier Republican. I have already done it twice now during the past two elections and there is no way I am going to go through that again. If Gore gets the Democratic nomination, and thankfully it is nearly certain that he won’t, I will just give up and move to Egypt. At least in that country there is no need to pretend that one lives in a Democracy.
