Draft Gore group steps up efforts

WASHINGTON (CNN) — With roughly three months until the first wave of voters weigh in on the 2008 presidential candidates, Al Gore supporters are stepping up their efforts to persuade the former vice president to jump into the race.

Draftgore.com published an ad in the New York Times Wednesday with an open letter to the 2000 Democratic presidential nominee strongly urging he throws his hat into the ring.

"You say you have fallen out of love with politics, and you have every reason to feel that way," the letter states. "But we know you have not fallen out of love with your country. And your country needs you now — as do your party and the planet you are fighting so hard to save."

"Many good and caring candidates are contending for the Democratic nomination," the ad continues. "But none of them has the combination of experience, vision, standing in the world and political courage that you would bring to the job. Nor do they have the support among voters that you enjoy and would lead you to victory in 2008″.

The group also claims in the letter it has amassed 136,000 signatures for its petition urging Gore to run.

Is there anything we can do to assist the Gore 2008 effort? His candidacy is about the only way I can see for the U.S. to avoid a Hillary presidency.

We need to start a Republicans for Gore 527. I’ll kick in some money. He’s the gift that keeps giving.

Gore runs.

Gore loses to Hillary in primaries.

Hillary selects Gore for VP.

Hillary wins election.

Hillary slips on a bar of soap in Fort Marcy Park.

POTUS: Al Gore

ta-daaa

Democrats are total suckers for political drama and shallow charisma. Gore would throw a monkey wrench into Hillary’s well-oiled, “inevitable” machine. Like John Kerry, Gore could get nominated before primary voters realize they have selected a space alien.

Al Gore isn’t going to run...

He’s negotiating his “Consultation Fees/Bribe” with Hillary for his endorsement...

Oh, PLEASE let him challenge Hillary! I love a good liberal cat fight. There is absolutely no love lost between those two and they would burn up a lot of money and energy fighting each other.

Don’t you believe it. I know tons of people who would GLADLY vote for Al Gore who would never vote for Hillary. Trust me he’ll get the Nobel, too. Why that would be a surprise I don’t know since we gave the damn thing to Arafat...............

There’s a zillion things we can do to disrupt Hillary’s candidacy...this is a start. If only the RNC will get it’s head out of it’s arse and get in the game.

I’m sorry but I just don’t see it. The Clintons will NEVER allow Gore to run. Hillary would be toast and they know it.
