The similarities between Richard Milhous Nixon and Albert Arnold Gore Junior are striking and surprising. Both were Vice-Presidents to a modestly popular president during relatively peaceful times in American history. Both ran for President and got nominated right after their superiors left office. Both lost their elections by a very close margin and among calls of voter fraud. Both even after losing remained very much in the public eye. But one thing did not fit the puzzle.

A Democratic Nixon: A Timeline
From The Hard Years: A History of 2001-2020:
....It was a true tragedy when on October 22nd 2006 Robert Gates riding an automobile near College Station, Texas was killed when a SUV driven by a drunk driver crashed head-on into Gates' car. Gates was killed almost immediatly along with his wife.
US Senator John McCain in 2014 speculated in his personal journal that Robert Gates might have replaced Donald Rumsfeld as Secretery of Defense after the November mid-term elections. This remains an interesting possibiltiy to many, because it is strongly believed that with Gates as Defense Secretery the tragic end of the Iraq War might have been avoided.....
...By the middle of 2007 Iraq was a total disaster. Violence was rising sky-high and dozens were being killed every day. The Sunni and Shia violence was by then a full-scale civil war claiming tens of thousands of lives. It did not help that Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki was assassinated on June 14th 2007 when a squad of extremnist Shia militiamen struck his car with a RPG....
...Even worse for the Iraq War effort was when Senator Joseph Lieberman one of the few non-Republicans supporting the Iraq War announced that he supported a time-table plan for Iraq on August 3rd 2007....
....It was in the middle of this when Albert Arnold Gore Junior declared his candidacy for President of the United States on August 10th 2007....
