An old friend may prove a roadblock to Hillary Clinton's plans to win the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 2008 - Al Gore.
Gore says he has no plans of running in 2008.
But Gore's friends view his recent political and business moves as a sign that he's preparing for another run for the White House, U.S. News & World Report column Washington Whispers reports.
In recent speeches Gore has been increasingly airing his views on domestic and international 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 Clinton's," U.S. News says.
The columnist said a top aide in the previous Bush administration is planning meetings with the Gore camp to urge an early entry in the 2008 race while Hillary runs for re-election in New York next year.
And Gore's supporters have already handpicked his preferred running mate: Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
One thing is for sure. If Gore doesn't run - he, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Howard Dean (the ?Gang of Four') will be actively working to stop Hillary Clinton.
...and Kerry too. What can we do to get Dukakis in the race?
Poor Al. Somebody please get him interested in a hobby--something harmless, like stamp collecting or crocheting lace doilies--something like that. Maybe he could get interested in ping pong.
Run Al run. He must have plenty of dirt on the beast.
What a sad sack.
Have the dems tried running 2 Marxists together on a ticket yet?
Oh, wait, Clinton Gore.. Ooops.
Gore/Clinton or Clinton/Gore 2008?
Jimmy Carter is still around.
Oooooh, I hope he does run...and run....and run...I love it when dems have primaries and have to waste all that money clobbering each other, pushing each other to the left, etc. so that they will lose big come November 2008.
Hahaha...."old friend?...hahahaha...I don't think so.

I maintain that Al Gore is the evil twin of Vince McMahon.
Remember Gore's appearance on SNL, in the hot tub, bare chested, with a Lierberman look-alike? Maybe someone can post it..but no campaign would survive that as lawn sign..Gore's not gonna run, ever..
Really? No shiite, ya coulda fooled me. From everything I've seen or read, they all revolved around the same old 'Bush Is Hitler' theme.
We need to see an Al Gore vs. Hillary vs. Jimmy Carter vs. John Kerry primary.
What's Mike Dukakis doing these days?
It will be fun to see the DUmocrats slinging mud at each other in their quest for power! They certainly don't have anything else to campaign on!
I thought it was a case of "you wont have Algore to kick around anymore" (mixed metaphor paraphrase)
Gore speaks......a brain farts.
Proving once again, that Liberalism is a mental illness.
