Politics: And the 2008 Democratic Party Presidential Nominee is ...

... Al Gore?

I've now heard this scenario proposed by several people and am beginning to wonder if there is something to it?

The premise of an Al Gore nomination is as follows:
(1) Hillary Clinton has none of the rogue charm of Bill and all the negatives
(2) Barak Obama in the end is just too inexperienced to be the nominee for POTUS
(3) Neither candidate garners enough support to win the nomination outright
(4) Al Gore rides into the picture on the sentiment that he had won 2000 and
deserves the nomination to save the party.

What do you think?

Politics: House Resolution 63 Passes 246-182

See the roll call on the vote.

The italic names appear to be the Democrats while the regular typeface are the Republicans.

17 Republicans crossed over to vote yes. 2 Democrats voted no. I wonder who are Marshall and Taylor? Definitely profiles in courage for those two!

6 didn't vote. I didn't recognize their names except for Hastert! Is that the former Speaker of the House Hastert? I wonder why he didn't vote? In my mind, it would not be a profile in courage to duck the vote. Now, if they are in the hospital or something then I could understand. Anyone knows the House rules? Do they have to be physically present to vote?
