The folks at NRO think that Al Gore will be the eventual Democratic nominee come convention time in August (h/t to Nice Deb).
I think they’re wrong. But it’s an interesting read:
“Plausible? Try “inevitable.” It’s August in Denver. You have a convention hall full of party activists, nervous and weary from months of watching the party’s two candidates clawing and scratching at each other. Both those candidates are looking pretty tattered. Bill Clinton’s mistress has spilled the beans on O’Reilly, and Michelle Obama’s senior sociology thesis has come to light (the one where she let loose on the “ineradicable racism of white Americans” and called the U.S.A. “a nation founded in crime and hatred.”) McCain is looking stronger than ever. The Turks are advancing on Kirkuk. Iran has lobbed a ballistic test missile far out over the Indian Ocean. The Chinese are mad as hell following the collapse of the summer Olympics the week before, as athletes refused to compete in gritty smog, and are making new threats against Taiwan. It’s a dangerous world out there, and community organizing and ed-biz wonkery are being marked down as presidential qualifications.
What to do? What to do? The party bosses are slumped in their seats, staring blankly into space, or doing job searches on their Blackberries. All is gloom and despondency.
Then — A fanfare of trumpets! A shaft of light! Into the hall rides a man on a white stallion! Stirred from their lethargy, the delegates begin rising from their seats. They start cheering and applauding. The rider reaches the podium, dismounts, and strides to the dais. The applause is deafening now. Cheers ring round the hall! Women are weeping; men are hugging each other.
Broad-shouldered and confident, his sternocleidomastoid muscle flexing and rippling, the Rescuer sweeps his powerful gaze around the hall. A hush falls. He begins to speak. As he speaks, the same thought settles on every listener simultaneously: This is the one. He has always been the one. What fools we have been!
Emphasis is mine. Because, again, I don’t think Al Gore will be wooed into the fray. But I do find the story of Michelle Obama’s “locked down” senior thesis to be very interesting.

There is a reason that the Obama’s don’t want you to read it before the election. Because if you did — you’d realize that Michelle “Magdalene” Obama is (or at least was) a race-hustling bigot in the mold of Al Sharpton.
If, as Barack (and Deval Patrick) said, “Words matter“, then let us read Michelle’s own words, and let us decide if they matter.

Don’t pin this one on all the folks at NRO. It was Derb who wrote the piece. I’m not sure they agree with him on that any more than they agree with him on Ron Paul.
I was intrigued by the Michelle Obama senior thesis too, but I’m not sure he wasn’t being facetious. I was too tired when I posted that last night to investigate further.
Anyway, I hope Derb’s wrong about Gore. He would be a much stronger candidate. Earlier, some people were saying that Gore would never enter the race because he would not be willing to debate global warming. But now he’s up against McCain, who apparently believes in it, too. Not good.
Thanks for the link!
The probelem with Michelle is that she is beyond her competence level, and has to feel inferior, constantly.
I’m not sure if this concerns you or not but her comments have been taken out of context to a ridiculous extent.
When she says “There’s a hole in our soul, and we need a little inspiration” she’s not talking about you going to church she is simply pointing to ridiculous policy choices. She directly preceded that comment with “We didn’t even budget to make sure that when these soldiers come home they’ll come home to jobs and health care and mental health support and their families are whole”. I’m inclined to think that you would agree that a nation that doesn’t take care of its veterans indeed is doing something wrong.
And Lynn, even beyond her impressive credentials, I think 90 minute extemporaneous policy speeches suggest that Mrs. Obama is quite competent, indeed.
It would be nice to get a glimpse at what she is hiding. It took many, many years to finally see what was in Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton’s locked down senior thesis. Hey, she even got an A on it, too. But her love for the amoral communist Saul Alinsky was what was revealed.
I would enjoy a good round of speculation of what Mrs. B-HO is hiding.
As for policy speeches, with words like “require,” “demand,” and “never allow” included in them, I’m sure Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin would just love her.
So B-HO wants us to have a single-payer healthcare system, does he?
How the UK’s single-payer system killed 17,000 Britons.
And from the Times Online.
Warning: Obama is dangerous.
The senator and his wife, as this week has shown, are classic European-style leftwingers.
Here’s Michelle Obama’s thesis. It should be very troubling to both whites and blacks. http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=42FC5818-3048-5C12-005E33B3C0F4E64B
Just wanted to let you know that Michelle Obama’s entire thesis is now available online
