I see Al the Third has the same mindset that his father did at about the same age. No surprise there. I have never expected Al to raise his son to follow him into politics - it has nothing to do with politics, it has to do with parenting and allowing your child to follow their own interests. Also, I see there's another repitition of the "no plans to run in 08" line. I'm hoping very much that he WILL run. I think he's the only one who might be able to handle the job of righting our nation, fixing our most pressing problems, and regaining the respect of the world.

And Yes - I know that you don't want him to run, you make it clear every time someone posts anything about a potential Gore candidacy.

It is true that the political atmosphere is toxic - it has never been as polite as we'd like to think it was - but staying out of it just to avoid the toxicity is not an answer. You can't change something by standing outside and sneering at it, change will occur by going inside and changing it from there.

The bottom line is that Al Gore could remake the world from the WH, if he so chose. He's got the drive, the intelligence, the abilities, and the experience.
