WHERE IS GORE FOR PRESIDENT?
is it just me? Ok so he lost in 2000...or something. but he did preside over the Senate meeting to concede victory so who am I to say?
I feel he's still the most capable person for the job,
---with the possible exception of Hillary, but I dont think she is as strong candidate.....she claims to not know that Bill cheated....so just how smart is she really?

How smart is Hillary? The question should be...
how smart is Gore. He was the guy who chose Liebberman as his running mate. He failed to stand and fight in Florida. He allowed Nader and the Green party in Florida to rig the election for Bush.
Further, he couldn't wait to concede, then had to recant his concession. None of these happenings are the acts of a bright man, a committed man to a cause.
Further, Gore did not participate in the debacle that was Florida 2000. He and his supporters did nothing to attempt to stop the very-open Repugnant nonsense in Florida. Over time, Gore has done nothing to fight or solve the black box problem. As the nominee, one would think that he might have a personal interest in seeing that voting is honest and fair. When the chips were down, Gore ran.
As to whether Hillary knew or did not know about Bill's actions(his brief stint with the Bitticelli Baby), one would have to be presumptious and state that she knew--every paper had the item as font page news above the fold. She knew and chose to handle it as a private matter.
It would seem that your support of Gore is based upon your own opinions and not connected with any facts.

The greatest derangement of the mind is to believe in something because one wishes it to be so.
sadly so
I must agree about Gore Grinch, he did choose Lieberman, and I cannot seem to forget or forgive him for doing that. How did that happen? How does that choice equate with the Al Gore we've seen and heard from since. He is a smart man, and almost always comes down on the true side of things,...so why those horrific decisions in 2000? I don't get it. Handlers? Can consultants be entirely to blame ? I don't believe so. I always end up by sighing and saying: " Well, Gore would be a great president, but a lousy candidate for president." I think he knows that, and has said as much. Begging for support and pleasing the multitudes just isn't his forte', thank God. He says politics is "...toxic...," and that's too true. One of the reasons that I like and support Edwards ( besides his balls-out support for unions ) is his immunity from the toxicity of politics; it doesn't even muss his hair up. He lost a beautiful son. He is losing a beautiful wife. I think that somewhere down deep, he is saying to himself: " Piss on politics! I'll do it, but I won't become it." We need someone who says that down deep.
Nobody is stopping Al, but Al
That said, I'd have been more impressed if he had run for the open Senate seat in Tennessee in 2006.
A Gore candidacy would still have to live down the "I invented the internet" comments. It would likely become less about Al and more about questioning every single minute of "An Inconvenient Truth." He wouldn't be able to get funraising support from the Clintons, for obvious reasons, and he'd have to explain what he brings to the table that Hillary isn't bringing. He'd also have to explain Liberman. Frankly, I'm not seeing Gore as a viable candidate right now.
Do I think Clinton-Gore redux is a possibility. Yes, I do.
Clinton-Gore you say?
Boy, that'd just about do it for me with politics. Gore accepting the VP slot would sink him forever in my mind. At least he now has my attention and my respect for putting our planet's future as his number one priority. But I guess anything is possible in this crazy country and wild world. I don't like Gore's prancing around the president question all the time. Either he doesn't know what he's going to do himself, or he knows and isn't saying. Either way, it's not good.
RE-ELECT GORE
Gore would be GREAT in 2008!
And we have ALREADY elected him ONCE!
