7. Gore is doing great!
Al Gore looked great last night!

He looks like he is ready to keep working and keep contributing over the coming ten years.

Maybe he will keep doing what he is doing right now (raising awareness through books and speeches, working in an almost "non-partisan" way). Or maybe he will change his plans depending on changing circumstances (and I think all of us know that plans can change when our circumstances change or when new opportunities present themselves - so I hope nobody will try to fight me on this "undeniable truth").

I think Al Gore is keeping his options open right now, watching how the "pre-season" goes. I don't think he yet knows what he will do in 2008.

There is no hurry for Gore to enter the race for 2008. He is doing a great job raising public awareness about the climate crisis. He will testify at a Congressional Hearing in Washington on March 21st.

Gore is also busy working on his next book "The Assault on Reason" - to be published in May. The theme of this book - why we need better decision-making in government - is very timely (whether he runs or not).

Depending on how things pan out, and the reaction to his book, Gore can consider his situation over the summer and announce his decision (or if you prefer - "change his mind") sometime in the fall.

Don't forget that Bill Clinton did not kick-off his campaign until October 1991. But Al Gore already has nationwide respect and name recognition that other wannabees can only wish for!

And by the way - Gore is younger than Hillary, Clark, McCain and Guiliani (I'm not saying age is the most important factor - but you should be ready to serve for a full 8 years).

Unless and until Gore endorses another candidate, we have to assume that he is keeping his options open. So it is too soon for those of us who prefer Gore to switch our allegiance.


Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore! :patriot:

Read Rolling Stone magazine: WHY GORE SHOULD RUN -- AND HOW HE CAN WIN

Get ready for Al Gore's next book - The Assault on Reason - out in May!

8. I believe that Al Gore
is the one and only Democrat that can unite the party in '08. He is the one "mainstream" candidate that unrepentant, picky leftist progressives like myself might cross into centrists aisles for.

I wish he would run.

10. The only reason people are so contentious about '08 candidates...
...is because the one guy we really need isn't running. :-(
