Poll question: Al Gore for.. what would he take?
Ok folks, I know that many of you are dissapointed that Gore doesn't want to be involved in politics anymore. But he is of course doing a great deal to restore our Democracy and to fight Climate Change.

As what part of the next Administration could he best do that? What do you think he would take?

2. If Al Gore were still interested in politics, he would have run for president.
He has said he will not accept any post. Why should I not believe him?

3. He should just keep doing what he is doing. Why get involved in this nasty bidness of American
politics. I don't blame him for not wanting to.

12. President
If he gets it in 2008, it will be his third term, since he won in 2000 and would have been reelected in a landslide because NONE of th shit of the bush years would have happened ... including 9/11.

14. I would have voted for him... again. But I'm excited about Obama
Obama is a good man and will be a fantastic President!

Gore is a brilliant man, I hope he gets in there and gets his hands dirty with fixing our Republic!

15. President.
If we can have unrealistic wishes, I would like to see our two flawed remaining candidates get together, recognize they trap they are in, and beg Al to be the nominee. We get the president we should have had 8 years ago and two guaranteed Democratic seats in the Senate. With all the talk of entitlement from each side, the one who is entitled is the one who won it in 2000. Would be really cool to have him appointing judges to the court that overturned the national election. Can he demote a judge? (I know, I know, but if we are dreaming, I would love to see those pink slips.)
