And he came damn close (or won if you take election fraud into consideration) to defeating an incumbent President during wartime.

Al Gore ran for President three times, which means he lost twice before 2000. And if y... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/_dynamicdems/17 Mon, 22 May 2006 22:29:47 Dear XXXX,

As hard as it is to believe, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is in the crosshairs again. Some House members may force a vote on drilling in the Arctic Refuge as early as this Wednesday. Rep. Richard Pombo (R-CA) has announced the latest drilling vehicle, H.R. 5429, euphemistically ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/_dynamicdems/18 Mon, 22 May 2006 17:24:12 The Patriot Project is on the job.

Over the last two weeks The Patriot Proj... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/_dynamicdems/20 Fri, 19 May 2006 13:27:15 Not everybody is meant to be the President of the United States. Al Gore was robbed in 2000 and it was a crushing defeat to his supporters, myself included. I loved Al Gore and still do. It hurt for a long time that he all but vanished from the scene for years. Still, he's someone I admire greatly. ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/_dynamicdems/19 Tue, 16 May 2006 17:16:07 Quotations: Just added a bunch more. There are now 120 Kerry quotations generated randomly at the touch of a button...well, actually 2 buttons. Each form can only hold 60, so I needed to use two. This isn't comprehensive, but some of the senator's best quotes are captured here and they cover just ab... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/_dynamicdems/22 Tue, 16 May 2006 16:14:04 called. She was a little caught off guard by the senator's humor. It was the first time that she remembers actually paying attention to a commencement address. The crowd loved him, especially the students.

John Kerry is more well-known and more a national figure and he didn't want to steal the thunder from Senator Feingold. That is such a Kerry thing to do. He said right from the beginning he supported RUSS and his office confirmed it from day one. That is the key: he supported Senator Feingold... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/_dynamicdems/23 Sat, 13 May 2006 21:07:27 From buyblue.org:

We’ve heard from the pundits. We’ve heard from the chicken hawks. Now it’s time for a unified voice of legitimate merit to be heard.

As busy as he is saving us, he found time to help save our horses too.
