Gore is boring and a sore loser. I can't believe they would run him again.

[goodnesswins]

He'll get an academy award....and be all shiny and new!

[gonewt]

If we're stuck with a Democrat in 2008, better Gore than Hillary.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Richardson for the Dems is looking like a dark horse.

[Cicero]

His daddy always promised he'd be president. He's entitled.

Gore is boring and a sore loser. I can't believe they would run him again.

If you're a liberal, history began this morning. And you can rewrite it however it suits you.

It's conceivable that the Democrats could convince themselves to back Franklin Delano Roosevelt for a fifth term.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

better Gore than Hillary.

Like firing squad is better than lethal injection.

[AntiGuv]

I wouldn't be surprised if Gore announces his presidential run during his Oscar acceptance speech..

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Nixon's stars/planets are lining up for Gore:

Nixon: Twice VP, defeated for the presidency, sat out two terms then was elected President.

Gore: Twice VP, defeated for the presidency, sat out two terms....

[Brad from Tennessee]

If you look at credentials and qualifications, Edwards and Obama don't have any and Hillary is not much better. Gore, with eight years as VP, and Bill Richardson--Congress, energy secretary, ambassador, governor--make more sense. Also, Democrats worship celebrities and Gore has become one.

[Alberta's Child]

Ain't gonna happen.

Gore's biggest problem is that he's gone too far out on a limb on the issue of global warming -- which most people really don't give a flying sh!t about at all.

If you have presidential aspirations, at least make up a bunch of lies about an issue that concerns people.

[volunbeer]

Correct me if I am wrong but did'nt Edwards earn his fortune on a junk science lawsuit that has since been disproven?

[You Dirty Rats]

Amusing article. I also suspect Clinton, Obama and Edwards will all fall short over the next year. Someone like Gore or Richardson looks pretty good compared to those three - relatively speaking.

[AntiGuv]

Most people may not really give a flying sh!t about global warming, but Gore does not need 'most people' to win the nomination. What he needs is liberal moonbat Dem primary voters and they certainly do give a flying sh!t about that.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Al Gore's nomination as the Democrat candidate for President would be God's gift to Republicans.

Let's consider: who could he beat?

Mitt Romney? Nope
John McCain? Probably not
Rudy Guiliani? He's a nightmare candidate for the Republican conservative wing and would probably lose 20% of the Republican base in the general election. But he might pick up that many from the independent and Democrat side.
I can't see him losing either.

So, can anyone tell me how he could win? Only if the Iraq war goes from the current success to a disaster. What is more likely is we make headway against Iranian influence and knock them out by 2008.

[Alberta's Child]

Liberal moonbat Dem primary voters couldn't even propel Howard Dean to victory over a Frankenstein-looking goofball in 2004.

[Intolerant in NJ]

The stars are aligned perfectly for Al Gore to get the nomination...Then again, the 'rats could do nationally what they did in Connecticut when their energized rabid leftwing antiwar-antiAmerica core turned out to nominate someone to their liking like Edwards, but someone so far out of the mainstream that he never had a chance against more rational and realistic candidates......

[bannie]

Maybe a little liposuction, some green pants and a lumberjack shirt?
