Gore ex-campaign chief wishes on her star 'Wait till Oscar night,' Donna Brazile says of a possible 2008 run.
By Daryl Nerl Of The Morning Call
Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are the hot early front-runners, while 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry has already bowed out.
But could former Vice President Al Gore be waiting to make a dramatic entrance into the 2008 presidential race, especially if he wins an Oscar next month?
His former campaign manager, Donna Brazile, strongly implied that possibility while speaking at Moravian College in Bethlehem Tuesday night.
''Wait till Oscar night,'' Brazile told an audience of about 100 people at Haupert Student Union. ''I tell people: 'I'm dating. I haven't fallen in love yet.' On Oscar night, if Al Gore has slimmed down 25 or 30 pounds, Lord knows.''
''An Inconvenient Truth,'' a film built around Gore's presentation on the effects of global warming, is one of the Oscar nominees for best documentary feature. A red carpet turn for the former vice president could make him as much a pop culture star as former first lady Clinton or Obama, whom Moravian College Democrats President Maria Smith compared to John F. Kennedy in terms of charisma.
Brazile was at Moravian as part of the college's celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. Only 8 years old when America's foremost civil rights leader was assassinated, she said it was King who inspired her to stand up and fight for what she believed in.

Gore.... double yawn.
I haven't watched the Oscars in over 30 years...... boring!!!
Has there ever been a time in our history when our "pop culture stars" were more vile?
The Oscars--what a non-event. I'm sure that all of the Hollywood kiddies who make a living pretending to be other people and then live so ostentatiously will clap as hard as they can for Owl Bore. Let 'em. I won't be watching.
Excellent. This will be fun. I as disappointed Kerry wasn't going to run again, so perhaps Gore will make up for that. Though Gore isn't quite as much fun as Kerry.
Isn't this a racist remark against fat people? Also, is he clean?
I would like to thank MANBEARPIG for making this night possible.........
Donna Brazille=What a waste of skin.
Ooops, that's Koko B Ware, not Donna. I always get those two mixed up.
The Democrats are beginning to remind me of rabid soccer hooligans after a match victory, rushing the field, knocking down the fences and everything (and anyone) in their path.
Gore would be the only threat to Clinton's nomination. And Gore would be the favorite in the general election if he got the Dem nomination.
The title you created has to be changed. Please do not alter titles. We're trying to reduce the number of duplicate threads. Just use the published title found at the source.
Thanks.
I fear a Gore candidacy. He would actually win this time.
He got more popular votes, was a hair away in many places, and is now "mainstream" thanks to another faux documentary.
Our only hope would be Hillary bailing us out by beatring him. We can handle that Marxist maniac with YouTube and her actual soundbytes. Al is a whole different story.
Wait until Oscar night to what? Confirm what we always knew about a hard left agenda being pushed in Hollyweird?
Commies rule the roost.
There is no protection from hate crimes for fat people. Only sexual beliefs has been added to such a list. There is no protection for your political beliefs either, so watch out.
The DNC Brownshirts raged a campaign of violence, vandalism,, and intimidation in 2004. See the keyword electionviolence.
Democrats are such juveniles.
