For Obama, a convenient truth: There's no sign Gore will run

Former Vice President Al Gore, in Chicago on Wednesday, gave no indication he wants to run for the White House again as he delivered the best stump speech I have heard in the 2008 presidential season.

Gore talked about change in its most useful context, attached to a subject -- the climate. He also, in his dismal predictions, gave reason for hope. There is a lesson here for candidates who campaign on change and hope.

"I'm Al Gore. I used to be the next president of the United States," he deadpanned in opening before the Economic Club of Chicago. A crowd of 2,101 people came to the Hyatt Regency to listen to Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize last Friday for sounding the alarms on the climate crisis.

"The planet has a fever," said Gore, who was introduced by new club chief William Daley, the mayoral brother who chaired Gore's 2000 presidential campaign.

1. I think he is showing all signs that he will run. He said in the past that

"only the people could make him run again." Lets do it. Lets make him run. I think we are doing a good job and he is watching. Lets bring it to a critical mass. He also has never said flatly, NO. So he is running. Check out his latest comments about current issues and so on.

AL WILL ENTER THE RACE WHEN HE CHOOSES.

I just hope it is soon so I can get to work on my community to bring about his landslide victory.

Can't stop the Al Gore train.
