Gore to Make White House Decision Within 1 Months Time [Well Informed Dems Say He's Not Running]
ABC Political News Summary Page 'The Note' ^ | December 5, 2002 | Marc Ambinder

Gore's Decision on a 2004 Run

Within a month, the former Vice President plans to be in or out.

These days, its almost harder to find Gore intimates who will predict that he will run than it is to find ones who say that their hunch is he won't.

Keeping in mind the very real possibility that Gore himself has not decided, there is a growing sense among well informed Democrats that the needle ISN'T straight up or down, and that he wont do it.

Par for the course, Debra Orin in the New York Post and ABC's The Note are leading parallel lives, in parallel universes this morning, although Deb has to go spoil our harmonic convergence by tagging her 'people think Gore might not run' story with some GOP polling suggesting that Jews are moving towards Bush.

Richard Cohen suggests that Gore is, well, a loser (while he also, much more shockingly considering the source, declares that President Bush is up to the job).

You might think that Gore's decision-whatever it is- would be stabilizing because it will do a lot to help set the party's 2004 field, but in fact, either way he decides, it will produce more instability.

Gore isn't running.

I knew it when he came out in support of socialized medicine.

He's going to be the Party Harpie.

Did anyone ever notice the similarity between Gore and a quantum particle?

In both cases you can't determine the position or movement with any level of certainty. They both have the ability to appear or disappear at any given time. They are both characterized by their "spin."

the democrats are too embarrassed by him to let him run again...itd be pretty funny, though.

you can see how far from reality and the real world he is, if he is even considering it.

if he does run, everyone will have to bring out all their old "al bore" and "sore loserman" ect signs.

who wants a repeat of the 2000 elections?

I wonder if the Republican party would benefit the most if Gore were the Democrat nominee.

I think so. He's not the weakest candidate whose name has been floated (Daschle and Gephardt are the two weakest) but I estimate his chances of winning as a close approximation to 0. I don't think he's going to run and this dramatic month of soul searching is only another display of his pig-headed stupidity, like Florida in 2000.

That being said, I hope he does run ... against Hillary!. It would be great fun seeing them run attack ads against each other.

He knows he cant beat Bush, and that the country HATES Hillary, no matter what the Dems say.

Don't underestimate her. She's as dirty as they come and popularity may not make any difference. The Democrats hated Richard Nixon too.
