Gore Allies Hold Powwow

Posted on Feb 8, 2007
A group of Al Gore’s campaign veterans and supporters met in Boston on Thursday to brainstorm a potential 2008 bid for the presidency. The former vice president denied any involvement and still insists he’s not running for anything, but his strong policy stances, unrivaled experience, name recognition and fundraising ability have supporters around the country hoping he’ll change his mind.


AP:

CONCORD, N.H. (AP)—Veterans of Al Gore’s past are quietly assembling a campaign to draft the former vice president into the 2008 presidential race - despite his repeated statements that he’s not running.

His top policy adviser from his 2000 presidential campaign and other key supporters met Thursday in Boston to mull a potential Gore campaign. The participants and Gore’s Nashville office both said Gore, who is in London, is not involved.

Elaine Kamarck, a veteran of the Clinton White House and Gore’s policy guru in 2000, said the meeting was informal and shouldn’t be taken as a sign there will be a Gore 2008 campaign.

Chris Mackin, a Boston consultant and Gore supporter, called it “an early stage conversation.” But he added: “We’re very serious about exploring this.” .......more at http://www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item/20070208_gore_allies_hold_pow_wow/

7. I KNEW it!

:bounce:

He was born to be president. Raised to be president. Spent his whole life in dogged pursuit of nothing less than being president. And then...WON IT, and had it stolen away.

Hmmm...MIGHT such a person be inclined to run again...?
:think:

8. Does anyone remember a black and white short film

available on the internet that showed the Gores at home and he was talking about Tipper going around barefoot all the time and about them watching videos at home? I'd love to see it again if anybody knows where I can find it.

[PresidentObama]

10. I think someone posted it in the political videos a while ago.

A few weeks ago to be more appropiate. The one where they are at the dining room table and he's running down the favorite movies in his collection?

You might check there, if thats the video you're talking about...

11. I wanna go to that pow-wow!

12. Mr. Gore stated he does not want to dredge up the past

So I doubt very much that he would have anything to do with those who would simply remind people of the very reason he claimed he didn't run or accept a draft in 2004. he also recently closed all of his political PACS and sems to not want anything to do with the past, and these people ARE the past. Mr. Gore is now doing what he was not given the chance to do in the beltway because of "advisors" like them. I hope he stays far away from all of them.
