(80,708 posts)I'd be ecstatic if he did, but I dont think he is.
Also, as far as people endlessly griping over Lieberman- a poor choice, no question, and part of several bad decisions by that campaign--- but I remember pretty clearly that the call was made because Lieberman was supposed to innoculate the campaign from the dread taint of Clenistic immorality, because Lieberman had been the number one puritannical Monica morals clucker on the senate floor, at least on our side of the aisle.
So who to blame
... Whatever the verdict I do suspect that Gore's experience in 2000 convinced him beyond a shadow of a doubt to be his own man from here on out, which he has consistently demonstrated since-
and which is why I suspect he wont run; because as much as others of us might want him to, I dont think it's where he wants to go anymore.
