For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Super Gore to the Superdelegate Rescue?

• Time's Joe Klein: Let's say the elders of the Democratic Party decide, when the primaries end, that neither Obama nor Clinton is viable...What if they then approached Gore and asked him to be the nominee, for the good of the party—and suggested that he take Obama as his running mate?
• LA Times: To keep the Obama zealots in the tent, Gore in turn will pick Barack Obama as his vice presidential running mate with the silent understanding that Big Al will .... bow out after one term and the then-51-year-old totally experienced Illinois guy can inherit the wind, while Al gets back to his lectures and slide shows for even larger fees as an ex-president.

Do you see this as a possibility? Would Gore be willing to undergo the scrutiny of his income taxes -- thereby disclosing to the world how much he's really made off of his global warming con! -- in order to become president? Would sticking it to the Clintons be worth such an examination of his finances? Or, is this all a liberal fantasy?
