They See Al Gore by a Nose in 2008
Is Al Gore coming back?
If allies we talked to have their way, the former veep will be the next president. "It's Gore Time," says a political strategist and fundraiser who is opening a bid to get Gore into the race.
Gore friends see his recent political and business moves as proof he's preparing to run. Allies say that in speeches, Gore has found his voice to address domestic and world issues. And in raising money for his Current TV network, which targets the critical youth market, Big Al has built an issue base and donor network that's competitive with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's.
Our source--a top aide in the previous Bush administration--is planning meetings with Gore's team to push an early entry while Clinton runs for re-election in New York. It doesn't end there: The Gorebots want him to pick Sen. Barack Obama, the youthful Illinois African-American, as his No. 2.
Run Al Run! Run JFK Run! Wonder if Dukakis would like to run to?
My thoughts exactly.
Gorebots? Gore-robots?
Redundancy.
He's the top candidate at DU. Honest.
And with Hillary as his VP. What a hoot.
No kidding...let's just hope the dems are dim enough to make mad Al their nominee.
re your post #5 - You're absolutely right. I was just over there -- and ROTFLMAO, I might add... :)
That was my reaction to his latest speech. He's running. At least until the Dean endorsement! ;)
He would make a strong candidate, I think he should run with Nader as his VP. He's sure to pull at least New England, except for NH and Maine.
Al Gore better be careful if Hillary!s aspirations are true. Don't fly, and don't get anywhere near Ft. Marcy Park. Oh, and make sure a physical shows that there are no heart conditions ( ala Webster hubbel ).
Damn. I was hoping for a Sharpton candicacy.
refresh my memory... why didn't gore run in 04? Thanks.
So what if he barley eeks out the Dem nomination and then gets slammed by the GOP.
To borrow a phrase from Dubya...Bring em on!!!!
They can haul out Gore, Kerry, Dean...how about Lieberman again?
We don't even have a nominee yet...and I like our chances better and better....LOL

ROTFLMAO re your post #11...
I see Al Gore in a straight jacket by 2006.
Oh please, please please. Is there anything we can do to help?
