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.

How about Tipper, I bet she is hoping against this as well..four more years of Algore moping around the house eating all of the ice cream out of the fridge, getting fat and trying to make out with her.

Didn't he start his Jenny Craig last week? I he wants to try that for a month and see if he can lose a little of his post-election stress disorder tonnage.

His lack of book sales should be a real loud hint that people don't care about the Gores!

This is just HOPE on the part of the Demmycrats. Gore IS running. Otherwise why come out with that dopey book? He just had it published as an excuse to go on all those talk radio shows.

Especially when he goes into his Elmer Gantry preaching mode. Apparently, Naomi Wolf has never heard of an undershirt and deodorant.

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