(Washington, D.C. - Right Commentary.com) With the Democratic National Committee in what seems like a near panic, with the national media about ready to have a meltdown over “Rev. Wright” versus whether or not Sen. Clinton lied about her trip to Bosnia, and with the delegate selection process seeming more and more unlikely to produce any consensus - let alone a candidate, who is the man we can turn to in this time of crisis? Who among the Democrats can lead their party to victory at a time when it needs him most?

He invented the Internet. He’s saving the planet from Global Warming. And now, he will save the DNC from complete and utter implosion. Yes, friends, I’m talking about Vice President Al Gore. I’m super - super - cereal.

Okay - now I’m sure you’re probably recovering now from the laughter. I know I was, but I am “super cereal” with respect to Al Gore. Just think for a moment - the Vice President is well known… I mean, he got an OSCAR for Pete’s sakes! He’s had a best selling book. He won the Nobel Prize. And compared to Sen(s). Clinton and Obama, he’s got a record on foreign policy a 100 miles long. Oh and by the way - he WAS the Vice President. Oh and also let’s not forget - he really was the one who was elected in 2000 - not George Bush. Making him the Democratic National Committee’s nominee would right a cosmic wrong for the injustice he suffered in the 2000 electoral recount.

By now, friends, you must be wondering if I’ve completely lost my mind. Well - I may have - but that’s not why I wrote this post today. I came across an extraordinary video by Congressman Tim Mahoney (D-Flordia). Of course, since he is a member of Congress, he is a Super Delegate. He refuses to choose a candidate arguing - among other things - that the electorate should decide the candidate. Okay - I can understand that as a politician - do not want to go out on a limb and pick the wrong guy - and then eat it at the ballot box. So you sit on the fence and see what happens. Makes sense.

Then, Rep. Mahoney said this:

“If it (the nomination process) goes into the convention, don’t be surprised if someone different is at the top of the ticket..”

Then Rep. Mahoney throws out Al Gore’s name as being a potential consensus candidate. I presume Rep. Mahoney is assuming that by the time Denver finally rolls around in August, the Democrats will be so sick of both Sen(s). Clinton and Obama, they’ll decide to totally flush the nomination process entirely down the toilet and pick someone completely new. At this point, I’d say anything is possible - but that seems to me to be a remote possibility.

Rep. Mahoney said he has met twice with Obama. He has met more often with Clinton. Two weeks ago, Rep. Mahoney attended a cocktail party at Clinton’s house in Washington, D.C., he said. Mahoney told of how impressed he is by Clinton’s commitment to helping people and her human touch.

Does Rep. Mahoney represent the thinking of the “uncommitteds”? He probably does, at least to the extent of expressing a hesitancy to decide for Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama before knowing where the popular vote comes out. If things got “really ugly” - I can’t imagine how something like V.P. Gore being brought to the table could be stopped. I would say this - if the Super Delegates think choosing Barrack or Hillary is a problem at the convention - then the winds within the Democratic Party will need to have shifted so much - the popular vote, the delegate selection process, the debacle over Florida and Michigan, none of it will have mattered. If I were a Democrat I’d have to ask myself at that point - why the heck even go and vote then if some guy who isn’t even on the ballot winds up being the nominee?

And if I were Sen(s). Biden, Dodd, and Edwards, I’d make sure I was at the convention - never know what could happen!

Since by now I’m sure you think I’m kidding you - I’m not… here’s his video. If anything - it’s good for a mental exercise and a chuckle!

I’m not kidding - I’m super, super, cereal.
