In an interview with Keith Olberman Tuesday night on his Current TV show, Al Gore called for “an American spring” to counter the assault of the teaparty Republicans
and to go on the offensive from the grassroots and on the internet. Gore was eloquent in his Goreish way and made many of the right points.
Olberman asked him, quite diplomatically, if a Democrat ought to run against Obama and if Gore would support a Democratic primary fight.
Gore said no, he supported Obama and would continue to support him, and that the history of primary fights meant that the President and his challenger would both
lose. He said Obama needed lots of help and pressure from the grassroots. Here’s the interview: The Keith Olberman show is at 8 p.m. weekdays at Channel 107 in San Francisco.
I think Olberman is even better in this format than he was when he pioneered the progressive tv show on MSNBC. B3
