I predicted long and tirelessly last year that he would bide his time and eventually make a run for the nomination, but I admittedly was wrong.  He faded out and rested on his Global Warming awards.

Or was I?

According to at least one Super Delegate, if the Convention becomes a brokered convention, there is a ripple under the surface that maybe a BoreGore/Clinton or Gore/Obama ticket would unite the party.

Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants?  To not only disenfranchise the voters but do so with a completely unvoted for nominee.

Mark Tomasik: Don’t discount Gore-led ticket

U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney, whose district includes much of Martin and St. Lucie counties, is hoping he won’t have to attend the Democratic Party national convention in Denver in August.

If he does go, that will mean the Democrats still haven’t decided a nominee for the presidential election. And if neither Sen. Hillary Clinton nor Sen. Barack Obama has clinched the nomination by August, Mahoney says we may see a brokered convention, meaning the nominee could emerge from a negotiated settlement.

“If it (the nomination process) goes into the convention, don’t be surprised if someone different is at the top of the ticket,” Mahoney said.

A compromise candidate could be someone such as former vice president Al Gore, Mahoney said last week during a meeting with this news organization’s editorial board.

If either Clinton or Obama suggested to a deadlocked convention a ticket of Gore-Clinton or Gore-Obama, the Democratic Party would accept it, Mahoney said.

But will the democrats around the country?

That seems to be the real question.  Will all this wheelin' and dealin' cause a revolt in the party?

Amazing how the party has become so divisive.

And if they shun Obama for a Gore/Clinton ticket, that still leaves open the possibility of racial tensions just to make this summer a summer to remember.
