The 2008 Presidential campaign will not include Al Gore. I'm reporting tonight that the former Vice President and 2000 Democratic Presidential nominee will not run for President. I've been given this scoop from a perfect source who informed me that the purpose of this disclosure at this time is to end speculation about a campaign that will never occur.
So, now that Al Gore is out... what does this mean for the likely 2008 battle between Hillary and John Kerry?

This is nice to know, but in reality...who cares???
Gore has been reduced to nothing more than a bad joke. Does anyone REALLY think he'd dstand a chance in America's political future? Anyone? I don't think even Howard "the Wacko" Dean would give him a snowball's chance.

I would say John Kerry's plans to run again are about as good as Al Gores.
To: RWR8189
Wow....Little Chrissy gets a "scoop". Anyone with any brains could see that Albore wouldn't run again! Geeze....Matthews is such a moron!
Just shows you why MesSNBC is going right down the porcelain throne if THAT'S what they consider "insightful analysis"!

Judging from his latest photos, perhaps he should run for senator from Massachusetts?!
It would be hard for him to slim down enough in time to run for Prez in 2008...

Gore couldn't get elected to the county weed control board in an unchallenged race.....THANK GOD!

what does this mean for the likely 2008 battle between Hillary and John Kerry? It means the fight will be between two girls instead of a woman and a girlieman.

Kerry says, "I don't fall." If he takes on Hillary he will.

And I think Hillary's going to amass massive funds without ever committing to a run. Then she'll just pocket the cash and grow fat and old in the Senate like Teddy.

If Algore would have taken his 2000 licking like a man, who knows?

What about McCain's shoes? Or Pataki's?
Right now, we don't really have a nationally viable candidate that would please conservatives. There's a few out there that may emerge, hopefully.

I've been given this scoop...The Rather mess still makes Big Media quiver. How about the *Beast? Is all this 2008 presidential hype just so she can win NY in 2006?
