(Indianapolis, IN) - Al Gore has moved his campaign headquarters to Nashville.  For those of you who live inside the "beltway" you can stop pouring over your Maryland and Virginia maps - it's in Tennessee.

The Vice President will continue to live in his official residence at the US Naval Observatory - an important development given that Gore's official duties consist, primarily, of examining his own belly-button.  Gore will also continue to do his job as Vice President - in Washington.  For those of you reading this who are Chinese diplomats, I'm sure that's a great relief.

To be perfectly blunt, Gore needs to watch his damned mouth.  Those who live in fuel-oil/fertilizer-compound houses shouldn't throw timing devices.  If Lee Atwater were alive today he'd be salivating over the possibility of pouncing on all of Gore's negatives.  If I had called Bill Clinton one of America's greatest Presidents, solicited money illegally in every nook and cranny of the White House (not to mention a Buddhist temple), and been part of the least ethical administration since Caligula, I'd be a little more careful about pointing fingers and shouting "caveat emptor."

But Gore has Clinton's ego without his charisma.  Moving the campaign office to Nashville will accomplish only one thing; it will drive down the morale of those who don't want to be there and will keep them from the morale-booster of seeing the boss.  The only major benefit is that, with the Gore campaign's big-spender attitude, they can all stay at the Opryland Hotel.

Yeehaa.
