Gore-led ticket good compromise for Democrats?

FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:


A Florida congressman is suggesting that a brokered convention for the
Democrats could lead to some pretty unexpected results. In other words,
forget about Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.


Representative Tim Mahoney says he wouldn’t be surprised if someone
different is at the top of the ticket. He says a compromise candidate could
be someone like Al Gore.


In a newspaper interview, Mahoney said if the convention is deadlocked and
either Clinton or Obama suggested a Gore-Obama or Gore-Clinton ticket, the
party would accept it.


Mahoney is one of the almost 800 superdelegates who would get to cast a
vote at the convention. He hasn’t endorsed either Clinton or Obama yet, but
has been wooed by both.


It’s an interesting idea. It’s not clear if Democrats really know what
they’re in for if this nasty battle continues all the way to the Denver
convention. The way things are going, there could be enough acrimony by the
time it’s over that neither Obama nor Clinton would any longer be viewed as
electable.


Al Gore has insisted he won’t run and that he has “no plans to be a
candidate”, although he’s also said “I see no reason to rule it out
entirely.” And, it’s worth pointing out that the former vice president and
Nobel Prize winner has not yet endorsed either Clinton or Obama. So stay
tuned.


Here’s my question to you: If a ticket led by Al Gore somehow emerged from
a brokered convention, would that be a good thing for the Democrats
