More for Gore   [John Derbyshire]

Charles Hurt in America's Newspaper of Record.

  … That leaves Al Gore as the only person with the experience to answer the red phone and force a peaceful end to this civil war.

The inconvenient truth is that the red phone is now ringing and Al Gore hears it. The only question is whether he has the guts to pick it up.

It's really not a question of guts. This guy took in the "public service" ethos with his mother's milk. He was practically born on the White House lawn. In his own mind, he's been elected President once already. He'll answer the call even if he doesn't much want to. And he does much want to.

And a Gore-McCain match-off? Think 1964.
