since I find all three of their platforms odious I'm not really part of this discussion, but is the democratic leadership really dumb enough to decide "The people have spoken, they don't want a white man to be the next president, and with the hemorrhaging the party is taking from the people who support Hillery and Obama, let's give them Al Gore."

I can't believe that the democratic leadership would be that self destructive. Can not believe it. And would they really risk their new religion (Global Warming, never has mankind been so joyful at the prospect of their own destruction) to really have that man's ideas under the magnifying glass of public scrutiny? I mean, he basically compared the people who want more data on global warming to flat Earthers.
