As a white male baptist southerner, it would be hard even for the racists to diss this guy. If anyone deserves a do-over, its this man, plus he wears a size 10 glove.

Hi Joe! . . .

Why not?

Al Gore has moved on. Maybe we should too?

We should and the most recently defeated democrat candidate as well.

You might be tempted to think so, but for the Dems to simply assume that Anyone But Trump is a shoo-in is a prescription for another November surprise. I genuinely like and respect Al Gore, but as a presidential candidate he represents the past (a distant past.)

Heh, way back in 2016, I posted a comment on an article stating that the democrats could nominate Daffy Duck for president and still defeat Trump in a landslide, who was then facing off against 16 other candidates. I still can't believe what happened, happened. 

The pendulum tends to swing back and forth. I guess it swung pretty far back in 2008. Hopefully, soccer moms in the red states will get their revenge next time around. I'm sort of hoping Sarah Palin considers a run. She can grab any part of my anatomy she wants.

Just my personal opinion here, but I think the eventual 2020 Dem nominee will be a relatively unknown / newcomer, kind of like Obama was back in 2008.

FWIW, i'm afraid that unless and until the Dems stop forming circular firing squads,  we'll be doomed with another four years of the Orange Menace. i hope i'm wrong.

While much of our beloved/not so beloved bike infrastructure funding comes from the federal government, I think the greatest risk we face in Chicago now is a populist challenger to Rahm. We need to make sure that if anyone thinks they can challenge the mayor from the left, s/he better be even more pro-bike and transit than the status quo.

I saw on the news yesterday that Garry McCarthy is forming an exploratory committee to consider running for mayor. I wonder what what his stance on bikes is?

We must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque with this thread. But for what it's worth, a mayoral candidate's stance on bike policy does NOT rank in the top three critical issues facing the City of Chicago. That doesn't mean it's irrelevant (and I realize that this IS the Chainlink Forum), but -- wait, what does this have to do with a meaningless online petition to draft Al Gore in 2020?!

Thread drift is a time honored Chainlink tradition. Close enough, politics, mayoral election time is not that far away. And Albuquerque is not that bad of a place to visit.
