They See Al Gore by a Nose in 2008 [US News & World Report]

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.

Well, a Gore run will certainly guarantee the country another GOP administration in the White House!

Perhaps a translation of this article is in order. And, maybe this line provides us a clue:

"And in raising money for his Current TV network, which targets the critical youth market, Big Al has built..."

I think what Al Gore built in that cable tv station is known as a bomb. Meaning: a lemon. So, in short -- he's now tanking with his business.

And, that means: he's looking to public life for something to do next...

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 ).
