Gore Begins Campaign to Lead Shadow Government
Former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore announced his campaign to lead the United Statesâ newly revealed shadow government over the weekend.
Arguing that after eight years in Bill Clintonâs shadow and a subsequent year of living in the shadows of everybody else in American political life, Gore claims he is the best-qualified candidate to run such an endeavor.
"Vote for me to lead your shadow government and you wonât even know Iâm there. Besides I have nothing better to do at the moment," Gore stressed in a press conference opening his behind-the-scenes campaign.
Shadowy figures such as Gary Condit and an undisclosed number of Arkansas Democrats have vowed to help Gore towards victory in this new office.
The Gore campaign believes his toughest battle will come in Florida where the stateâs infamous butterfly ballot will become even more difficult to decipher due to the limited visibility caused by voting under the shadows.
Nevertheless, spokespeople for the Gore campaign are optimistic about the chances of their bearded leader. Since the public re-emergence of Dick Cheney within the past few weeks, they say, Gore is virtually unchallenged in his quest to lead the shadow government.
