The Carthage Tennessee Courier will have a full page ad Wednesday asking former Vice President Albert Gore to run for President in 2004.

The group that paid for the ad, Grassroots Democrats, also has a website urging Gore to reconsider his December decision not to run for the Democratic nomination again.

This group says it has plans in the works to organize pro-Gore Democrats in Iowa and New Hampshire to help draft the former Vice President.

In a release Tuesday about the ad, the group says 'It does not expect or request a response from Al Gore in the immediate future. His was an extremely difficult decision that will not change overnight. What Gore supporters do hope is that the former Vice President will keep his options open as we near the primary season of 2004.'

ROFTLOL! Donna Brazile has seen the future of the next year, and it is a lot of Al Sharpton requesting a 'Clinton scandal pass'

[ewing]

I suspect anti-Sharpton forces, who would have more to gain and deflect media attention?

[ewing]

Maybe Waxman will run as well..

[areafiftyone]

heh heh --Who's NEXT? I'm expecting any day to hear that Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck have decided to throw their hats in

Has the DNC had enough of Reverand Al already?

That's almost-Reverand Al (remember, he FLUNKED out of divinity school)....

[pcolafla]

Is it true that the reverend legally changed his name to "Reverend" because he isn't one?

He does resemble a Saturday morning kinda character.

[expatpat]

Please don't knock Al Sharpton. With all the dweebs jumping in, they'll split the white vote, and Al will win a lot of primaries. Then they'll have to stop him at the Convention, and then the black Democrap voters will be really mad!

[NorCoGOP]

I'm referring to Gore, not Sharpie.

[ewing]

Al's not a legit man of the cloth? I am shocked and stunned!

Of course Al Gore flunked out of divinity school as well..

[ewing]

Has anyone called McGovern yet?

[dead]

The Draft Wood campaign.

[ewing]

Or dead wood.

[expatpat]

Oh, sorry, didn't see that. (Actually, my comment was tongue-in-cheek, anyway).

[ewing]

Fat Albert?
