A peaceful solution. Great title, by the way!

Do you have a second choice after Gore for this scenario? Because he ain't available. . . And I agree that if she can't pull off POTUS, Hillary should mos def get to be Senate Majority Leader. Then she'd be the first woman something! Also agree that Barack would make a fine VP, but a very weak Prez. Obvs.

Hey there, Shrake.

What makes you say that Gore isn't available?

If for some reason Gore -isn't- available, the only other person who could fill that role would be John Edwards... but I'm not sure that would be -as- peaceable.
