2. Gore

Is one of the most forward looking of the dems. Wrote that book 30 years ago that predicted al this enviro stuff

[951-Riverside]

3. He could have kicked ass in 2004... he didnt

although I like the guy his moment has passed for me.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. Was he shut out from running in '04?

I don't think his moment has passed and if he decides to run, I will support him and vote for him.

15. The "party big-wigs" strongly discouraged him from running in 04,

stating that it would be all about 2000.

19. I was willing to take that chance, if he wanted to give it a shot

I didn't vote for Gore in 96 or in 2000, but I would vote for him in 2008. I might even campaign for him in the primaries... Too early to tell.

4. He could still kick ass in '08

Numerologically speaking, this is his time ...

He spent 8 years in the House.
He spent 8 years in the Senate.
He spent 8 years as VP.
Took 8 years' sabbatical to rediscover his roots.

Al Gore in '08!!!!!

[Dr.Phool]

6. If the same guy shows up

That I've seen speaking lately,

He'll kick anybody's ass in '08!

[Stephanie]

10. I like Gore/Schweitzer

[valerief]

13. That's the ticket I'm hoping for!

[Minnesota Libra]

23. That would be THE PERFECT TICKET.....nt

[Stephanie]

9. I am so ready for Al!

12. From the article

"...Since his loss, Gore has undergone a resurrection of sorts, shrugging off the consultants and the caution that hampered him during the campaign and -- aided by new distribution technologies -- evolving into perhaps the most articulate, animated, and forceful critic of the Bush administration. And now, with Democrats taking a fresh look at a man they thought they knew and speculation mounting around his ambitions in 2008, it seems that the man much mocked for inventing the Internet is in fact using the direct communication it enables to reinvent himself..."

sigh :loveya:

14. Very interesting read about all he's been doing since 2000.

Don't know if he will run...but hope so.

[Joe Fields]

16. I believe he is the real deal, and...

most likely has a better than good chance to change the way that political campaigns will be covered in the future. He's my man. We just have to convince him that , not only do we need his direction, we must have him, and that this time the times pick the man.

[ThomWV]

17. Prediction: Within 48 Hours of announcing he will raise $100M

The money to support Al Gore is out here, all he has to do is give the word.

[KoKo]

18. This article sort of sits with me LONG after I read it... I'm forwarding

it to "fence sitters."

Somehow what the article says about "Internet Activism" makes me feel REALLY GOOD...and I think "after the read" many others here might feel the same thing. :shrug:

[NJ Democrats]

20. I wouldn't mind

a Gore/Fiengold Ticket in '08.

[IndianaGreen]

21. The day Gore forms a PAC or anything that hints at his running

is the day that I will pay attention to him.

I wish he runs, but wishing does not make it so!

[Joe Fields]

22. Mr. Vice President, AMERICA NEEDS YOU!

Thank you for the link to the article. It informed me of a few things about our REAL president that I was unaware of. Made me even prouder of how he has conducted himself. With complete dignity and forward thinking. Maybe with Gore running in 2008, we can have a more honest coverage of election politics. And, hopefully we can put a real American in the White House, you know, one who actually has the best interests of ALL Americans at heart. And the whole world, too.

24. Back in 2002 until the end of 2003 (when he said he wouldn't run)...

I had a lot of hopes here. I'd love to see Mr. Gore run, but I'm not sure if it will happen. :(
