As I’ve been telling you for nearly a year now (why won’t you LISTEN?) the 44th POTUS will be Al Gore. It merely remains to work out the nomination details. A reader gives it a try.

Obama will go into the convention with a pledged delegate lead sizable enough that the superdelegates won’t dare give the nomination to Hillary. The Pastor Wright scandal will make them equally unwilling to give it to Obama. So they’ll deadlock the convention and then Al steps in: he’ll convince both Hillary and Obama to throw their support behind him in exchange for SCOTUS nods for both of them when Ginsburg and Stevens retire (which they’ll certainly be confirmed for, given Senate comity and somewhere between 55 and 60 Senate Democrats). He’ll give Edwards AG in exchange for his handful of delegates and take it all. Max Baucus will be his running mate so that, with a Gore-Baucus ticket, Rush Limbaugh will not be able to resist playing the Gorbasm/Empire Strikes Back theme from back in the 80s when Gorbachev was still around — which will make Gore cool for the first time in his life.
