Four years ago the will of the people was thwarted when the U.S. Supreme Court's intervention prevented Florida from counting their votes and handed the White House to George W. Bush. Vice President Gore addressed the nation urging Americans to unite behind President Bush and give him the opportunity to govern effectively. Unfortunately George W. Bush did not reach out to his opponents and govern from the middle, but instead enacted radical right wing policies that divided our nation in two. Eight years of peace and prosperity under Clinton/Gore gave way to war and recession.
Now, after a long and divisive campaign, Bush has emerged the winner in another tight race, claiming to have a mandate. With Republican gains in the House and Senate, the 55,743,908 people who voted against George W. Bush are in danger of losing their voice in the legislative sessions ahead.
Now, more than ever, America needs a national leader capable of serving as the standard bearer for a more progressive agenda. One person has stood up for all of us as the conscience of the Democratic party: A man who immediately spoke out against the loss of our civil rights in the Patriot Act, the first major political figure to speak out against the proposal to invade Iraq, the voice of reason in the face of a storm of ideological rhetoric: Al Gore.
Today we are launching a campaign to elect Al Gore as the 44th President of the United States of America and we hope you will join us in this historic effort.
A new website will launch on Monday, November 8th, with a new name. Please join our mailing list below and keep informed about this, only the first step in a long and exciting campaign.

Absolute proof that the dems do NOT want to allow this country to come together. I can't believe anyone would support a candidate that began his campaign with this as his rationale. I really think all but the most extreme leftists are over this soap opera.
McGovern? hell yeah, and while we're at it let's throw carter's name into the hat!
As John Kerry is about to find out, democrats hate a loser. Al Gore is no exception. Gore was allowed to hang around the national stage because of his unique situation. They needed Gore to play the Wounded Candidate throughout President Bush's first term. They no longer need him because that play has closed and the sets have been torn down. Democrats hate a loser. Gore will now join Kerry in their Losers Circle.
Al Gore Jr. is opening a new website?
What's he gonna sell? Sour grapes?
They just keep going on that the war is Bush's fault, when we all know it was Clinton's.
What a joke. Also, it does not seem that the country is as divided as the idiots want you to believe.
They are just setting you up for the coming of Hitlery.
I hope she is in jail where she truly belongs.
Would like to see some sort of National Geographic special on these odd (and hopefully endangered) creatures. They must have lovely plumage.
It might well be a joke. Al Gore has totally flipped. Then again, the Democrats scraped the bottom of the barrell to come up with the weakest possible candidates -- Kerry/Edwards. Seems they were determined to lose.
Agreed, the only bitter divide is between the liberals and any reasonable reality.
I think this was created by some of Gore's core of loony devotees who tried to draft him in '04. Don't believe its an 'official' Al Gore website.
Some 40 years ago, a Presidential candidate who had been defeated four years earlier, set out on an odyssey, seeking his way back to the spotlight, just after a crushing defeat of his party's candidate for that year. He met with every organization that would talk to him, building up markers, which he called in four years later, and through a series of fortuitous circumstances, culminated in election in 1968.
Luck seemed to be holding for Richard Nixon for a while, but a series of failed or bungled devious activities wound up dooming his Presidency. Perhaps Al Gore could follow in the footsteps of Nixon, and make a comeback, and somehow avoid the pitfalls that befell Nixon. But knowing the extreme lack of adroitness of which Al Gore is capable, one would hardly expect him to get anywhere nearly as far as Nixon went.
It is amazing how some news tidbits make me laugh heartily this week vs making me grind my teeth last week!
Correct, but when Nixon lost his 1962
run for governor of CA, he told reporters
they "wouldn't have Nixon to kick around
any more."
I don't think he'll last four years. After seeing pictures of him recently, he doesn't look good. Overweight, full of rage--an obvious candidate for a massive heaart attack or stroke.
