Vote for your favorite candidate in the Final DFA Presidential Pulse Poll

Our challenge to Al Gore: Jump In or Drop Out!

Something surprising is happening at Democracy for America; former Vice President Al Gore is leading the race for the DFA Presidential endorsement -- as a write-in candidate.

Voting is still open until November 5 at midnight, and there is plenty of time for any candidate to win. All your candidate needs is your vote right now:

Despite the fact that Al Gore has not announced that he will run and wasn't even included in the endorsement poll, DFA members have seized the power and written him in. With over 65,000 votes cast so far, the time has come for Vice President Gore to make a decision.

The clock is ticking. We are deep into the 11th hour. There are fewer than 90 days until the first votes are cast. And filing deadlines to be on the ballot start closing in just days.

You deserve to know. Is Al Gore in or out?

Together, we are the boots on the ground that knock on doors, make phone calls, and recruit new supporters whether advocating for the next president or electing Governor Howard Dean to Chair the Democratic National Committee. DFA members are working to take our country back and the DFA endorsement is worth more than just words to the candidate that wins.

Of course, this is not an ordinary endorsement poll. All voters are asked for their top three choices. And in the end, only an announced candidate can win the DFA endorsement. That means this will be the first poll in the nation that can accurately report both the remarkable support Al Gore has in the progressive grassroots AND which announced candidates earn that support if he never jumps in.

When we announce the results on November 6th, one year from Election Day, everyone will be watching.

Don't keep us waiting, Mr. Gore. It is time for an answer.

1. Make a decision? Hasn't he stated many times that he's not interested? n/t

[acmavm]

5. I thought so but I could be wrong.

[BurtWorm]

9. Actually, I've only heard his friends speak for him one way or the other.

He is always a little cagey with his language around a decision, such as "I have no intention of running for president." Intentions can be irrevelant ultimately. Many have interpreted this kind of statement as Gore's leaving the door open to a draft movement (no pun intended, speaking of intentions). A statement like "I will not run for president under any circumstances" would be clearer and put an end to the speculation (and hope).

7. He keeps saying he isn't "planning" on running which is a weasel word. He

knows how to definitively put this whole thing to bed but he just won't do it ("I'm NOT running. Period.)

[BobRossi]

2. He HAS given his answer.

What will it take for people to wake from this spell?

4. You'll know when they've awaken

when his supporters turn on him like a pack of rabid jackals.

3. when is the official deadline for him to enter the race? n/t

6. I think it's a couple of weeks for NH

but you'll get folks saying that he never needs to announce and could somehow magically get the nomination by acclaim at the Dem Convention next summer.

[Bassic]

8. I've been told it is

at the end of October. So it's not looking as though he's going to run at all. Just like he said he would not.
