Ok, am I the only person who thinks Al Gore made a big mistake in shaving off the old beard? Now, I know some people think beards are anathema to political campaigns, but it seems a good break with the man's previous, untrustworthy profile. It gave him a pleasant, almost fatherly appearence.

I certainly bought it more than his recent blathering that, if he had it to do over again, he would let it rip, ignoring advisors and pollsters (link via Vodkapundit). Yeah right, Al, I can see you as the ol' truthgiver.

I tell ya, between Gore and Daschle, I can't imagine the Dems winning anything aside from laughs. Maybe if he would've kept that beard...
