Will Al Gore be the next President?

That bring me back to 1988. Dukakis was the obvious and consistent leading candidate but Newsweek just ignored him and touted about a broker convention. Newsweek dreamed that Dukakis wouldn't have enough delegates and a broker convention would nominate Mario Cuomo. That didn't happen and Newsweek admitted that they were over fascinated by a broker convention. Sure, a broker convention is exciting with all the back door negotiations and political deals. The media love it.

I just read the article and it's not really meant to be taken seriously. At one point the reporter says, "Let's play a little" and the article ends with, "And yet ... is this scenario any more preposterous than the one that gave John McCain the Republican nomination? Yes, it's silly season. But this has been an exceptionally "silly" year." Also, Howard Dean is not calling for the SD's to come together and declare a winner in the primaries, that's not even close to the solutions being bandied about. They are talking about a Super Delegate "primary" or "mini-convention" after all the primaries are over if there is no candidate with the needed number of delegates. From everything I've heard and read that's had any credibility at all everyone is trying to find a way to make sure the voters get what they want. There have been more calls for Hillary to pull out but she's vowed to stay in until the end but I think if she doesn't do as well as expected in Pa. that may change. Al Gore should probably be President right now but that's over and done with and he's made it clear he's not interested at this time, if ever. Annie
