Notable quotable

Save us, Al!

"Perhaps the only guy that can end this is Al Gore."

-- David Gergen, political consultant and former presidential adviser, commenting on the never-ending Democratic primary during CNN's live coverage Tuesday night

Well

Gore did mention this gas tax holiday was rather silly. And that he preferred instead to remove the income tax.

Well Obama proposes removing the income tax from those who earn less $50,000.

"Ending this"

presumably means persuading Hillary to drop out.

But she seems so entitled-plus-missionary, that I wonder if persuasion is possible.  And it is indeed true that she has a lot of strong supporters, who care little for Barack Obama.  And anyway Al Gore is not one whose opinion she is likely to respect.

Baroo?
