I'm a day late with this one, so sorry.
First off, congrats to Al Gore. While he won't be bringing home a statue, his movie An Inconvenient Truth took home the Oscar for Best Documentary. And that wasn't the end of the Al Gore Show - Melissa Ethridge took time in her speech for winning Best Original Song, again for Inconvenient Truth, to thank him.
The Draft Al Gore Movement is gaining quite a bit of popularity over the Internets. It wouldn't be unprecedented. In 1960, Richard Nixon, the sitting Vice President in a very popular administration lost a hotly contested Presidential race with a controversial ending - it was Illinois, not Florida, where alleged malfeasance took place - only to return 8 years later to take the White House in dominating fashion in what was the beginning of the period of Republican ascendancy that has lasted until this day.
My take - I wouldn't be against it. But until further notice you can still count me in the Obama camp.
Some talk about Joe Lieberman bolting for the Repubs. Honestly, I hope he does. I want each and every Connecticut Democrat who voted for him first in the primary and then in the general election to kick themselves in the balls, or ovaries, or whatever they have. Besides, it's not like anything is getting through that chamber, anyway. If the Repubs retake the Senate with Lieberman's help, all that will mean is that the Democrats can distance themselves from all of the bad things that will continue to happen under this Administration's watch, from Iraq right on down. And it will make the victory in '08 all the more convincing.
