Stupidest idea ... ever?
Well, if you WANT to confirm some Democratic voters' suspicions that the system is rigged for white males, I can't think of a better way to do it than take the nomination away from a woman and a black man who fought like hell for it and give it to a white guy who did absolutely nothing to win it.
Because I can tell you one thing: as far as Hillary may be behind Obama in pledged delegates and the popular vote, Al Gore is way, way, way behind either candidate in those measures. Hell, he hasn't even won a single big state!
Al Gore would have been a great candidate if he gotten into the race when the getting was good, but to put him at the top of the ticket now would be a utter mockery of the democratic process.
I think this article shows how phenomenally out-of-touch people like Joe Klein are.
