Al Gore will be more valuable to the nation by continuing the campaign to keep climate-change andglobal warming before industry, Congress and the President, regardless of the results of the 2008election. He has the brilliance of Jefferson, the determination of John Adams and the curiosity andentrepreneurship of Ben Franklin. He can be the go-to person for scientists, inventors business owners and policy makers who want to make a contribution toward turning our economy green. He is in a position to extract from all the candidates for federal office a pledge to lead us toward keeping the planet a safe place to live. For example, 1.5 billion people now are dependant on runoff from glaciersfor their water supply. How will they survive if the glaciers disappear?     Tom Dawes

He's for single-payer health care.

He'd restore the Fourth Amendment.

He favors leaving Iraq "as quickly as possible" and seems to possibly understand that our presence there is the root of the violence.

Will he throw out NAFTA??

Paul Krugman mostly nails it:

What is it about Mr. Gore that drives right-wingers insane?

Partly it’s a reaction to what happened in 2000, when the American people chose Mr. Gore but his opponent somehow ended up in the White House. Both the personality cult the right tried to build around President Bush and the often hysterical denigration of Mr. Gore were, I believe, largely motivated by the desire to expunge the stain of illegitimacy from the Bush administration.

And now that Mr. Bush has proved himself utterly the wrong man for the job — to be, in fact, the best president Al Qaeda’s recruiters could have hoped for — the symptoms of Gore derangement syndrome have grown even more extreme.

I feel strongly than ever that Al Gore should endorsed Barack Obama for President 2008.

In March of this year, Democracy for America conducted its first pulse poll. Not surprisingly, Obama and Edwards split the vote, each finishing in the upper 20s. Who came in third place, however, was the most interesting result of the poll - "Other" finished ahead of the likes of Hillary, Richardson, and Kucinich with 12.4%. The vast majority of those votes I'm told were for Al Gore, but we all know that number is not a true representation of how many DFA members support a Gore candidacy, so Draft Gore organizers have started a petition to get him listed on the poll ballot alongside the other candidates.

So many of us are waiting for Al to jump into the '08 race. To all those people, I say it's time to stop waiting and start becoming active in the effort to draft Gore. He, of course, has not ruled out running, and most people, myself included, see him as the most qualified man for the job. He was the first major politician to oppose the Iraq invasion back in 2002, he has single-handedly made global warming a national issue and continues to do so, he is for single-payer health care, and has been prescient on a number of other issues like the Internet. Not to mention, he's already won a national election before.

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?

The Democrats actually won all FIVE elections by an average 8.9 MILLION vote margin. That’s the True Emerging Democratic Majority. Don't believe it? Run the numbers yourself.
