Dean For DNC; Gore For 2008! Listen Folks. Heres the deal. If the Democrats truly are the smartest party in the World, and no doubt they are, even when stood up against the Republicans, And we are the Oldest party in the World, for no other party affiliate in the World has survived as long as us, not even the Republicans themselves. If we truly are the oldest party in the World, and we have the oldest and newest values combined to the World, and the right values , of the World, then Howard Dean will be sworn in as the next DNC Chairman for the next 4 years (ala FEB 2005 to FEB 2009.) Howard Dean is the perfect, most perfect, man for the job. He has energized grassroots all over this country. He gets the people inspired on a message of taking back this country for the people who built it. We need Dean to become the DNC Chairman. The corporate special interests and the DC insider lobbyists, and especially the corporate and dc pollsters and pundits, must NOT have their way this time. We must take back the Democratic Party and that is with Howard Dean as the DNC Chairman. Yes, Howard Dean has said that he most certainly will not run for President in 2008 if he is chosen as Chairman because he wont have the time to mount a presidential campaign as Chairman in 2008's Election, and plus the term is from February 2005 to February 2009 going right through the Campaign. But this is where Al Gore comes in here.............
.............Al Gore has the passion, the heart, the soul, the energy, the dedication to the grassroots and the people above the special interests of corporations and the dc lobbyists and pollsters and pundits, to rise to the challenge of another presidential campaign. He should energize himself directly after the midterm 2006 elections this time, regardless if the Republicans retain Congress in one or both of the chambers of the House of Representatives and Senate, or if the Democrats pick up Congress in both or one of the chambers of the House of Representatives and the Senate. And Al Gore should get the Democratic Party nomination in 2008. Gore is the next Democratic President, and we may never see another Democratic president in theWhite House, atleast for the foreseeable future, but probably not at all, unless Al Gore is there first for two full terms. Al Gore must become the 44th President of the United States of America in 2008 (and possibly 2012 too.) This is a good strategy as he was supposed to be #43, and #44 has a nice ring to his name even more than #43. Al Gore's life has been in eight year intervals, atleast with his public life and career in government. He served eight long years in the House of Representatives representing his home district in the state of Tennessee (1977-1985; elected in 76, 78, 80, and 82) , He served eight long years in the Senate minus a failed 1988 bid for President in the Democratic Party primary/caucus season (1985-1993; elected 1984 reelected 1990. resigned 1/3 of the way through his second term to become Bill Clintons choice for Vice President and got elected Vice President of the Usa under Bill Clinton as President), 8 years as VP under President Bill Clintons leadership from 1993-2001 (elected and reelected in 1992 and 1996 to that) and won the popular vote for President in 2000 but retired after the Supreme Court Coup De Tat that gave George W Bush the Presidency elected in 2000 for the Republicans. Thats 24 years from age 28 to 36 to 44 to 52. Then, While George W Bush was President for 8 years and two full terms, Al Gore retired but stayed close to politics speaking out on behalf of Democrats and Democratic candidates, as well as the Democratic message , for democratic activists and also worked for private media firms, public universities, including venturing into starting his own cable tv network or buying out a current one to counter the current media with a new media. That he did, almost posthumously, from 2001-2009 while George W Bush served out his two elected terms as President for the Republican Party. Eight years of that as a private citizen while (SIC) President George W Bush was in the White House for the Republicans and Republican Party (2001-2009) even after Kerry-Edwards failed bid to be President and Vice President in 2004 while Al Gore went from age 52 to 60 and can pave his way, provided he will return in 2008, he can return to The White House as his future home and head for there from the ages of 60 to 68 for 8 years. Al Gore 2009-2017 (elected 2008, 2012 reelected.) Its a sure thing. Its who the Democratic Party and the Democrats need. We need Al Gore to return in 2008. But, like Nixon in 1968 for the Republican Party and the Republicans, He should MOST CERTAINLY NOT choose his former running mate for the veep (vice presidential spot) again for the 47th Vice President of the Usa to follow Cheney two full terms 2001-2009. Lieberman has moved further to the Right/Conservative base as a Democrat then anyone or anything in that party. (even betraying Democrats by considering being Bush's homeland security secretary, even though he ultimately turned it down to stay in the Us Senate where he is a senator from the state of Connecticut.) Lieberman has betrayed the Democratic Party and our core values. We must not let Gore choose him again. Lieberman is decent personally as a man , but professionally and politically in hisviews, he isnt. In fact i have said many times that Gore should choose John Edwards, but even Edwards is a softie. But if all due respect, Lieberman Kerry and Edwards should be omitted. And also but if all due respect, even ina big Republican year in the South, Governor Mike Easley (of North Carolina - state) bucked the trends of past 1 term southern democratic governors in other southern states, and won reelection to a second term in 2004 (2000 was his first, and NC has a 2 term consecutive limit.) And he did that in North Carolina as a Governor to a second full term in office. Maybe someone like Mike Easley would be the choice for Gore for Veep. Easley has focused on jobs, healthcare, and education as Governor. Those are core Democratic Party issues. Easley may be from the South, but he should be known as a core Democratic Party constituency , and depending on how he handles his second term as Governor, Easley, born in 1950 and two years younger than Gore (1948) might be a perfect choice for Vice President. Like Nixon, who chose Maryland Governor Spiro T Agnew and not Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr who had been his runningmate in 1960, Gore would be perfect to mount a southern strategy and pick up a few western states, and more of the Midwest as well as the rest of the country that him andKerry won in states nearly idential and equal to each other and one another, and by keeping everything that Democrats usually do win big and huge in (swing states or democratic states) like Illinois and the Upper Midwest, the Pacific West and the Northeast 12 from Maine to DC, then we will win big and huge in a landslide, or atleast somewhat some kind of a rout, all 12, in the next election in 2008.
GORE-EASLEY 2008. you've heard it here first!
*****Extra note here: - Another option though, would still be Indiana Senator Evan Bayh for a Gore-Bayh ticket.
p.s. And that is also the point now here of Howard Dean becoming the next DNC Chairman to serve from Feb 2005 to Feb 2009. The fact here is, and now to focus on 2005 and 2006, Howard Dean will vow to fight for the progressive democratic cause of socially liberal fiscally conservative progressive values over the next four years, and he will start the day he is sworn in. He will fight to make sure we keep local, state , and federal offices crucial to our chances come by 2008, in every election from Day 1. I bet one of the first elections are for Los Angeles Mayor, and i believe James K Hahn is running for reelection if he chooses to or if hes not termlimited, but regardless if it is an open seat race nonetheless, well, that is the point of making Dean the permanent DNC Chairman for the next four year term from FeB 2005 to FEB 2009. He will energize us from the ground up, and we will win those 2005 elections, alot of them; and we will win in 2006 for crucial House, Senate, and Governor races (incumbents or challengers in any of the three categories.) Howard Dean is the only one that will be a proven fundraiser and give the Democratic Party an effective voice and message, to make sure we keep stuff we hold now, as well as pick up stuff that the Republicans hold, maybe not all, but most or some to somewhat, And he will do that from Day 1 on a Progressive Democratic Message of social liberalism andfiscal conservatism. He is the progressive leader we all need for the Democratic Party in the wake of the stunning terrible losses of 2004 that really toppled 2002 by a widespread dignity for the House Senate and The White House. Please urge that Howard Dean, be the next DNC Chairman, write to your local and state democrats, and write the the national democrats at dnc@democrats.org. Tell them only Howard Dean for the next Chairmanship job to succeed Terry McAuliffe for the Feb 2001 to Feb 2005 term, for the Feb 2005 to Feb 2009 term. Then, we can pave the way for the return of Al Gore in 2008. with either Evan Bayh or Mike Easley, joining him on the ticket. Thanks. And that is my endorsement!
Note - My news88 team has endorsed the democratic ticket of Bill Richardson and Evan Bayh. But this is my individual endorsement, though i voted with the other 29 by a majority for Richardson/Bayh with a Yes vote for my website endorsement within my internet department but that is my endorsement as a group with them. My personal interested endorsement is Dean for DNC; Gore for 2008 with Bayh or Easley for Veep. Possibly even Rep. Lane Evans (D-IL17th District) for Veep.
There will be another Blog News Update tomorrow!
