Butter-Side Up for Hillary
Robert Novak thinks Al Gore could be a spoiler for Obama:
Former Vice President Al Gore's Oscar win for An Inconvenient Truth has naturally fueled more speculation that he will run for President, notwithstanding all of his denials. But Gore would likely compete most with Sen. Barack Obama as a left-wing alternative to Hillary Clinton who never supported the Iraq War. Gore's entry into the race would likely give the uncharismatic Clinton a better chance of victory.
Currently, Obama is the subject of much interest because he could well overcome Clinton by Election Day, and as a general election candidate, he is a more elusive target than Clinton. Other than race -- an issue which Obama has exploited with subtlety and finesse -- the biggest issue between Gore and Obama would be Gore's long track record and Obama's relative lack of experience.
It`s amazing how often the toast lands buttered-side up for the Clintons!
