No-brainer! Al Gore should run.

Of course this is just one dummy's opinion.....

I believe that if Al Gore ever decides he wants to be the Democrat's nominee in 2008, he'd walk away with the nomination hands down! I hate to admit it....he'd probably win the Presidential Election by a pretty good margin over any of the current Republican candidates.

Call it a feeling or intuition, or just an ache in my gut, but I believe the Left would come out in such numbers to support Gore, that November 4, 2008 would look like an "anointing" rather than an election. Think about it.... Hollywood, Academia, all the media outlets.....every communications vehicle would simply trip over themselves to get his message out. Think about it, aside from die-hard Republicans, what group wouldn't support Gore over any other candidate? Be honest! Hillary scares-off (or pisses-off) huge numbers of people. Barack may have Oprah's vote, but how many people really want to have a President with a mere 2 years experience?

I bet there is a good percentage of Liberal Democrats, who if truth-be-told, are more than a little fearful of "another Clinton candidacy." Many who think it's time to cast a vote for someone not named Clinton or Bush, (who frankly wish that both families would just slink off into the background!) Who better to carry the mantle than the guy who many still believe beat President Bush in 2000? He's got the experience, he's got the mein, bearing and presence of a national & international leader - and let's face it - people see him as "the guy something was stolen from!" People of all ages everywhere like Al Gore!

Given his current winning streak, his ease at coming before an audience now, and his "dignity in defeat in 2000" as many saw it, Al Gore has almost limitless charisma! He's become a "media darling" as big a celebrity as anyone! Even internationally he's seen as a hero. Around the world people throng to see him and hear him speak. In Oslo, Norway after winning the Nobel prize, he's been besieged by crowds of adoring people, like a rock star - and these are Norwegians! I'm only surprised his home city hasn't scheduled a ticker-tape parade in his honor......yet!

I could be entirely wrong, but I bet that Al Gore could walk into the Democrat National Convention - unannounced - and he'd be swept into the nomination by acclimation! That would be something to see!

If Gore selected Obama as his VP, you wouldn't be able to count all the votes!

Eh, what do I know! (shoulder shrug)
