I think it is so interesting that hardly anyone knows that Gore himself posted three political videos last night on www.Current.tv where he discusses bringing the troops home, healthcare and Americans's right to privacy. Could this be the start of an inconvenient truth for Hillary Clinton? I sure hope so. Please get the word out. You can go over and watch his videos and comment directly to him on www.current.tv. Search Al Gore under people search...

I love Al Gore - and hope he won't run.

If he does, his tremendous effort to increase awareness of global climate change will be in peril. I encounter so many people who remain convined that the purpose of "An Inconvenient truth" was really to prepare the world for Gore grand re-entry. They will be delighted if he decides to run, so they can dismiss it all as opportunism.

Don't run, Al. Stay above the fray, please.

Here's why I think Al Gore should wait out the 2008 presidential election and why Hillary should be supported this time.
Hillary is the only one of the candidates who has been on the front line, taking it on the nose, subject to nasty harassment, for 15 years--and she has survived and flourished.
If she wins, it will be a triumph over hatred, prejudice, and irrelevencies--for EVERY candidate in the future.
Al Gore is young enough to be able to run in the future. And I have no doubt that Barack Obama will one day be president. == Connie

I have a question, if Gore runs, wins, and wins reelection four years later; would he be the first
person to be elected President three times???

There was an article in last month's Vanity Fair that broke down the systematic destruction of Gore's credibility, with cooperation of the press, concentrating on two specific reporters who amplified distorted and twisted version of Gore's statements. It's not a figment of liberals' imagination.

What would that do to the concept that our candidates need 100s of millions to be viable if Gore just waltzes in at the last minute? On the one hand, I like that someone could blow the whole process open like that, but on the other it only proves the race is purely a vapid popularity contest.

Hilary, Obama, now Gore--why are the supporters so blind and trusting?! Gore was more hawkish than Bill when it came to sanctions and aerial strikes on Iraq! And now he gets a PEACE prize.

I'm tired of the hypocrisy of our Dems. We take our terrible Dem. medicine because they know we won't swallow a Republican.

Geesh. Vote for Kucinich if you have a conscience. If you feel the need to compromise...vote for Edwards at least...

In the words of the organization formed shortly after that gut wrenching election farce - MOVE ON!

Al, I voted for you then and I still wish you had been our president but I've got to move on and I truly hope you keep moving forward too.

Gore running again is only going back in history and opening up old wounds. I want him to stay on the track he's on. He's doing GREAT there.

I think that gore can do the most for this country at this point & time by putting all of his support & energy into backing the candidate he believes in the most. like bill clinton is running "with" hillary, I think gore could be a huge supporter to whoever he chooses. I would love for gore to run but I really think his placement on the ballet now will just confuse a very crowded race.

Wait, I thought the Bilderbergs picked our Presidents... You guys are still voting?

Oh right, Beata, and Bush is FULLY QUALIFIED to be president! You don't need a degree in science to realize the effects of a changing climate - Just open your eyes and look around! And I don't need a degree in political science to know that Bush will go down in history as the WORST president this country has ever had....

Hi,
Al Gore can bring people together, that's for sure. He has done an amazing job at raising awareness about global warming and getting people to pay attention and make changes in the way they are living their lives.

The Draft Gore group needs to think about all of the other issues that would be on a president's agenda. This is one, but certainly not all.

By the way: Does anyone remember that Gore LOST his home state of Tennessee in 2000. An indication that perhaps he really doesn't want the job. He didn't want it 7 years ago, why does anyone think that he wants it now?

Al Gore is a PHONEY !!!! He got lucky w/ his movie, can't believe he won Nobel Prize... where is his degree in any kind of science ???

Jeff Cohen wrote a thought-provoking essay, "Can Al Gore Be Trusted?" on CommonDreams.org http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/10/13/4515/

He asks the question, Will we get the old Al Gore or the new Al Gore? Cohen says that he would support the new Al Gore -- because he broke with his old allies in the party establishment.

But Cohen recalled what Gore did before he broke with them. He led the Clinton Administration's "partnership" with auto makers that failed to increase fuel efficiencty standards, he promoted NAFTA, and he promoted the Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996 that led to the worst media conglomeration in U.S. history. And he chose Joe Lieberman as his running mate.

Gore is attractive, and I think he would be the best candidate, but we ought to go into this with our eyes open, not jump on a bandwagon unquestioningly like the right-wingers.

I have tried to e-mail and phone in favor of drafting Al Gore for president... Neither would go through..... Seems a bit unfair to ask for a response and not allow people to respond. America needs Al Gore - So does the world!

He was elected in 2000, pure and simple. He was cheated out of his office yet had the grace and wisdom to conceed to the Supreme Court Ruling and move on. For 8 years he's had to watch America's image plummet down the drain thanks to that idiot we have in the White House.

What might have been? I, for one, want to know. Please, Al, run!!!

Absolutely, he should run!!!

Love the theme song, by the way!

Al Gore is not a politician and he can make a bigger and better contribution by doing what he is doing now in fighting global warming.

just say no to gore. where has he been??
where was he in 2004??
where is he on the issues??
for 7 years he has had only one issue! (an important issue but never the less he's yeesterdays story)

Would love to see Gore drafted as President -- of the EPA.

Perhaps his gravitas could turn this agency into a new power center.

(President Putin may try precisely this tactic with the PM office, following his imminent mandatory step-down from the Russian presidential office.)
