Dukakis seems to know about something Howard Dean and the DNC are creating behind the scenes called the "Denver Plan". If it's not just a rumor as some democratic operatives believe it sounds brilliant. Bring in an unscathed candidate like Al Gore who has won a Nobel Peace prize and an Oscar. Americans will line up to vote for him again (like they did back in 2000). Remember too, as Howard Dean has, that Gore is the last Democrat to be elected president. Obama and Hillary are giving away their chances to win every day. Obama has alienated us progressives by going on Faux News and Hillary is going on Bill O'Reilly tonight. Gore would have a cakewalk after his proud leadership against Global Warming. Also, he knows that he's going to be blamed for the food shortages because of his support of ethanol so it makes sense to put himself into a position of political power. Perhaps that's why Dukakis is hedging and saying Obama is "probably the nominee" while leaving room open for the other party operatives to get a ticket in place that can win.
