Gore could buy election with Google money
As Google stock keeps dropping, just remember — the shareholders letting it fall are keeping Gore out of the White House, according to NewsMax.com.
Gore "owns a ton of Google and he's made enough money that he could wait until a month before and just drop $50 million in to launch a [2008] race," a well-placed Democrat told Deborah Orin of the New York Post.
"He's got way more than enough money to buy this thing at any point in the process."
So — ignoring the tech-friendly statesman's insistence that he's not running — a surge for Google is a surge for Gore, and each trade is like a vote. It's like free speech for rich people.
