This fall, Vanity Fair has published 2 major articles looking back at the Clinton-Gore administration and the 2000 election.
First in the October issue, Vanity Fair revealed how the mainstream so-called liberal media was unfair to Gore in its reporting of the run-up to the 2000 election. This issue had previously been explored online, but never in the mainstream media.
Vanity Fair, October 2007Going After Gore
Al Gore couldn't believe his eyes: as the 2000 election heated up, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other top news outlets kept going after him, with misquotes ("I invented the Internet"), distortions (that he lied about being the inspiration for Love Story), and strangely off-the-mark needling, while pundits such as Maureen Dowd appeared to be charmed by his rival, George W. Bush. For the first time, Gore and his family talk about the effect of the press attacks on his campaign—and about his future plans—to the author, who finds that many in the media are re-assessing their 2000 coverage.

Vanity Fair, November 2007White House Civil War
Promised real power as Bill Clinton's vice president, Al Gore found he had a rival for that role: the First Lady. And when Hillary decided to run for the Senate, a tense competition got ugly. In an excerpt from her new book about the Clinton White House years, the author reveals how conflicting agendas—the triangle of a scandal-ridden lame-duck president, the wife he'd betrayed, and his designated successor—sapped Gore's 2000 campaign as the bond between two couples dissolved into distrust, anger, and resentment.
Excerpted from "For Love of Politics — Bill and Hillary Clinton: The White House Years", by Sally Bedell Smith, to be published this month by Random House, Inc.; © 2007 by the author.http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/11/clinton200711?currentPage=1 Maybe I am going crazy, or just over-optimistic, but don't you think these articles make it more likely that Al Gore will suddenly "change his mind" and make a late entrance into the race to seek the Democratic nomination for 2008?
