Carter and Gore to end Clinton bid?

Posted on April 13, 2008

Democrats are under the impression that most Republicans want Hillary to win the nomination and that we think she would be easier to beat. The truth, at least from my perspective, is that I really don’t care who wins the Democratic nomination. I really don’t. As a matter of fact there is an unfinished draft I was working on titled just that…”I don’t care who wins the Democratic nomination.” Now I’ll tell you the whole truth. Back when Obama’s halo was shiny, we were still ignorant of his racist religion, and his foot wasn’t constantly in his mouth…I did want Hillary to win. Barack’s charismatic charm and ability to tell the masses what they wanted to hear was intimidating. Empty, but effective. Hillary was the devil we knew. However, now theirs plenty of dirt on either one of their nominees to beat em. Don’t tell the Dems, but at this point Hillary would probably be the harder one to beat….she hangs in there like a cockroach.

Well, Democratic heroes Gore and Carter just may be playing the part of exterminators.

DEMOCRAT grandees Jimmy Carter and Al Gore are being lined-up to deliver the coup de grâce to Hillary Clinton and end her campaign to become president.

Democrat grandees? Heh…

Former president Carter and former vice-president Gore have already held high-level discussions about delivering the message that she must stand down for the good of the Democrats.

“They’re in discussions,” a source close to Carter told Scotland on Sunday. “Carter has been talking to Gore. They will act, possibly together, or in sequence.”

An appeal by both men for Democrats to unite behind Clinton’s rival, Barack Obama, would have a powerful effect, and insiders say it is a question of when, rather than if, they act.

Obama has an almost unassailable lead in the battle for nomination delegates, and is closing the gap with Clinton in her last stronghold, Pennsylvania, which votes on April 22.

Clinton remains publicly defiant, insisting she will continue the battle with Obama all the way to the Democratic convention in August – when superdelegates, or party top brass, will have the chance to add their weight to primary votes.

But the party’s top brass have concluded her further participation in the race can only harm the party as Republican nominee John McCain strives to take advantage of her increasingly bitter battle with Obama.

Both Carter and Gore occupy the rarefied position of elder statesmen – in addition to their White House past, both are winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, giving them additional gravitas to carry the party with them.

Neither of them is likely to object to the role of bringing down the curtain on Clinton. While neither man has formally endorsed either her or Obama, both have clashed in the past with the Clintons.

You know what will hurt the Democratic party? Obama as the nominee. So I find myself hoping these Democrat loser “grandees” to make their grand speech. If they think it will effect Hillary they certainly don’t understand cockroaches. With all the latest screw ups coming from the Obama campaign…I can’t blame Hillary for hanging in there.

Don Surber says pass the popcorn:

Of course, both men are jealous of Bill Clinton who served two full terms — the most of any Democrat since Franklin Roosevelt. Stephens reported, “Gore blames his loss to George Bush in the 2000 presidential election on the impeachment of Clinton triggered by his White House affair with Monica Lewinsky.”

Yes, had Gore stood up to Bill in 1998 and told him either resign or I will, he would have either become president then or had been elected in 2000.

Jules Crittenden:

Let’s ignore for the moment the fact that Hill is likely to tell both of them to get effed. I’m more entertained by the straight-faced statement of fact that a one-term loser, who has Richard Nixon to thank for his presidency and his own lame response to the Ayatollah Khomeini to thank for his loss of it, and a no-term loser ex-veep who got his Oscar and Nobel for a film the scientific advocates of his position consider an embarrassment, are considered the elder statesmen of the Democratic Party.

What would seem common sense to the obvious, I’ll give a little advice to the Dems. If you want to stop losing, stop listening and making heroes out of your losers. America rejected them for plenty of reasons. On a seperate note, their advice on this one is an exception…cuz either way around you lose. Its too late, but you once again picked two losers for your nominees. Now you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Pick your poison.
