DC 4 Al Gore
A Washington, DC web blog that supports Gore for President in 2008. We support progressive political posts too. Thanks for your support for Al Gore in 2008, and look forward to working with you on drafting Gore for the Democratic Party nomination run and the Washington, DC Presidential Primary on Tuesday January 15, 2008. This blog is written by volunteer bloggers. The blog is neither authorized by Al Gore nor is affiliated with any of the organizations that he is a part of.

Since returning from the Peace Corps in Africa, graduate school, et. al.: ~ DC political activist with an interest and experience in international affairs, military, defense issues and armed forces. ~ the next Presidential election of 2008 will be an amazing political cycle ~ I've been looking for a candidate who has the background and credentials to win ~ Al Gore is the one ~ Al Gore needs to run for President in 2008 because he is the one candidate who can win the White House for the Democrats ~ The Democratic nomination for President is up in the air ~ No candidate will win the nomination early, as much as the big time insiders would like to do just that ~ Gore is the one Democrat who's got the best chance of winning the general election in November 2008 because of his strong stand on national defense, a sound economy and protection for the environment.

Keep an eye on Senator Brownback. He's got the credentials to gain support of the GOP's right wing that currently controls the party and opposes Bush on Iraq. That opposition could neutralize much of the foreign policy debate in the '08 Presidential race since both nominees will take similar positions. GOP primary candidates who support Bush's Iraq policy (e.g. McCain, Guliani)are goners from the get-go, which is also why Hillary Clinton is problematic as a candidate given her past pro-war votes. Yes, Bush is such a disaster that he's taking down Republicans AND Democrats who went along with the debacle.
Al Gore, of course, never did so.
The only winning strategy for the Republicans in the wake of the disatrous fiasco of Iraq is to shift the debate to domestic issues. Brownback conceivably could be the one to do that. And Gore would be the best candidate to counter with a shift back to global issues, most importantly, climate change. His argument: America CAN reclaim its leadership position in the world by working to solve the most pressing issue facing the planet.
He'd beat Brownback hands down on that one.
