There is so much buzz about the Democratic Convention being “brokered.” I think the name of Al Gore lives under that possibility.

It is also my personal opinion that nobody – not the professional pols, not the media – anticipated this campaign. The best guess was that Clinton would run against one of the non-McCain candidates and would win. I further think that the pro’s decided awhile back to take a 4-yr nap – let Clinton have 2008-2012 – and then regroup.

It just didn’t work out that way.
