Run! AL Run!
With all the mudslinging going on between the Obama/Clinton camps/supporters, they better be careful or Al Gore will enter the race and show them BOTH how a real presidential candidate should act.

Well... we could only hope.

5. I really wanted Al to run, thought I have to
grudgingly accept someone else, but did research on their backgrounds and actually became enthusiastic. Not Al 2008 enthusiastic but more enthusiastic than I have been in a very long time.

But I'll tell you who disgusts me on this race thing. It isn't Hillary or Obama. They talk about it when the press pushes them to.
Statements were made, interpretations might be right or wrong, we can't know for sure.
But they get reported and then both saides are asked to react and then that gets reprorted and both sides are asked to react...
and on and on and on.

The press loves a melee and they keep feeding it. They push for a reaction even from those who decline to be drawn in.

It's not the candidates themselves. Even Clinton's MLK/Johnson whing was nothing about race, as stupid as it was.

Both sides need to clamp down on their people who are talking and tell them to just stop

PS I am sort of mad at Al for not running. I don't blame him for not wanting to, I don't have a right to feel mad, but feelings are what they are.

4. I was so for Gore to run
And when I finally faced the fact he wasn't, I saw that our next best hope was John Edwards. I hope you will make this consideration. Thanks.

6. Endorse Edwards! Al Endorse Edwards!
Just like Friends of the Earth did.

Ok. Wait until the convention. Then endorse him.
