Gore Likely To Broker Convention Deal, Leverage Environmental Policy
There is so much people have yet to really consider about what a Democrat presidency will look like. From leftist-activist Supreme Court nominees to Al Gore ravaging the American economy with his de-facto control of environmental/industrial/energy policy…think of the list of people traipsing in and out of the White House with God knows what influence. Meetings with Moveon, Code Pink, and George Soros? Will Markos Moulitsas, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have their own bedrooms? How about Nas, Clooney, Kanye and Sean Penn? I guess Oprah will be allowed to host one dinner for every season of the year.
From Political Ticker:
(CNN) – He’s the most prominent Democrat yet to take a side in the presidential election, but two sources close to Al Gore tell us not to expect the former vice president to endorse either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama any time during the primary season.
The sources say Gore talks with both Clinton and Obama, and is on good terms with both. But with Sen. John Kerry and Bill Clinton both aligned to a candidate, Gore has a role to serve as the neutral elder statesman in the party.
If an agreement needs to be struck between Clinton and Obama down the road, Gore is in position to be the likely facilitator of that discussion.
Gore also will want to work closely with whoever wins the nomination to promote an environmental agenda.
