Suppose Al Gore Does Run in 2008, as a Green?
Advertisements [?]
I am a huge Feingold supporter, and would like to think he c/would head the party ticket in 2008 - but with the likes of the so called "Reagan Democrat" Chuck Schumer calling the shots and picking candidates all over the country for the Senate, i suspect he will have a huge role in who the DP will annoint as The Candidate for 2008.

Given his snarky remarks against Feingold the other day, and given that Schumer lead the Boycott of the Censure Hearing on Friday, we can count on Schumer doing everything in his power to cut the legs out from under Feingold's efforts at every given opportunity.

The other person that i have gained new respect for is Al Gore. Al Gore is on a mission that's about what the party should be about - and I have frequently voiced support for an Al Gore/Russ Feingold ticket

But then i see this Vanity Fair article, and suddenly it occurs to me that it's possible for Al Gore to decide to run for president in the Green Party, particularly since the Democratic Party has completey betrayed him on every level, since 2000 elections forcing him to stop fighting and pushing the likes of Lieberman on him and so on.

I wondered if Al Gore supporters would still support him if he ran for president as a Green?
