The bow is distracting. And I don't like her hair straight. I love her curls.
To: daisyscarlett
It DOES look like Gore HAS lost weight. He might announce his, er, plans. Better yet, he apparently thanks to Google is worth a couple of hundred million, or more, and can self finance his campaign. Who said, that America is not still the land of dreams? Whomever it was, the person is wrong!

Agreed. And conservatives can love fashion!
I am always perplexed by those who come to threads to jeer. I mean, don't they have a book to read or something.
To: cajungirl
And I don't like her hair straight. I love her curls. I KNOW! Since I can't grow my hair that long (and I know they use extensions) but I think it would be great to have a magnificent mane...(not that lank stuff)

If he's smart, he'd take the moment of winning to announce a campaign for the Presidency - if he wants it. He's not going to get more viewers otherwise, he'd carry Hollywood with him, and he's instantly be alongside Hillary and Obama in the race.

(Gingrich for President)
To: paulat
I cannot imagine a curly haired gorgeous redhead straighteniing her hair,,,but that is just me.
I read extensions can severly ruin your hair,,would love to try some.
To: Torie
Oh, I agree. Al Gore will run for president in 2008.
To: furquhart
"if he wants it" is the question. Gore might not want to bogged down anymore pandering to the madding crowd. The rich are different from you and I, F. Scott Fitzgerald once observed -- they have more money.
Now for the unfunny inside baseball anti-song.

Gore wants to be begged to run. He will, because he's the anti-Hillary.
Just me...but it will be Gore/Obama.
