The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

In retrospect and looking at polls, I'm sure a lot of people would have then. Gore was able to look like a centrist in 2000. I don't think there is any chance he could come across as a centrist in 2008, and since the general election is about appealing to the center (after having solidified your base in the primary), I don't think he could win.

Particularly if he ends up a Guiliani or a McCain (of course, I think they may each have their problems winning the Republican nomination, but that's another issue).
