Gore is the posterchild for birth control!!

you have got to be kidding me.

Gore lost once. I'd love to see him lose again.

Gore is a one trick pony, and when voters find out what his CO2 scheme is really going to cost, and what it will do to the economy they will drop him like a hot potato. Can you say McGovern redux.

A few votes for a nobody will not a president make!

Well, I'm older since 2000, and my eyes have been opened by what many Democrats wish we would ignore...we cannot afford to leave Iraq. You have to keep the bad guys on the defensive. We pull out---they come here. It's that simple.

Also, did I mention that my son is NOT going into Iraq today (as part of our ALL-VOLUNTEER ARMY?)

Higher calling?!? I'm part of this nation and I don't want Gore anywhere NEAR the White House; so please don't speak for me.

There are a bunch of whiny, lazy, cowardly people in this country who would like nothing better than to see us suffer and fail. Why is that?

So he can lead like the debacle of the 2000 election and the Live Earth junk science concert ? And Sharon in Booneville, your son is a true hero and I would like to vote for him .

I hope he runs. It'll be Mondale #2, as the republicans sweep 49 states.

I'd pay to see him go into his mountain man remission like he did the last time he lost. An inconvenient truth would be learning that this guy isn't a leader for the people, he just wants attention.

"He won once"????? EVERY recount has shown over and over again that President Bush won. Its this refusal to acknowledge this "inconvenient truth" that will assure no democrat will win the White House in '08

Re-defeat Gore!!!

So will he travel in Prius 1?

When he left the White House his estimated net worth was 25 million. Today it is over 100 million because of profits he has gained off his books and speaking engagements. He manipulates people's fear for profit, isn't this exactly what libs accuse Bush of. Guess it is different when its your guy!

Re: 2000 Election
All Al had to do in order to win the election was to win his home state of Tennessee, which he failed to do. Of all people, the people of Tennessee knew him better than anyone else in this country. That election was not stolen, as is so often erroneously reported, it was lost: pure, plain and simple.

Credible ? Sure he is. He was a career politician and the Vice President. He is certainly better than the rest of the bunch currently comprising the presidential wannabes in the Democratic party,
which isn't saying a whole lot. Would he be good for our country as President ? Is that what we really need right now ? Another career politician ... or someone that will make decisions that are made in the best interest of the country instead of their own personal and political interests ?

Drafting Al Gore is a great idea! Nobody can snatch defeat from certain victory like Al Gore. Run Al run!!!!!!!!

Talk about an inconvienient truth! How about the Goreacle's enviromental hypocrisy. How much did Gore spend on his combined energy bill last year? Do as I say, not as I do. American sheepoeple wake up!

Let's see. A sitting 8 year VP during a period of consistent economic growth could not close the deal by winning his own state? This guy is a stooge. The Dems cannot win with Hiliary and they definately cannot win with this guy.

What a liar !

Al Gore is a man full of wonderful useful knowledge! He has centered his life around trying to STOP and put and end to this horrific global warming! He is an outstanding man! GREAT father to a drug addicted child!

Mondale #2? Are you kidding? Gore has been right about the two most pressing issues of our time and has higher favorabilities than most candidates in the field...and he's likely to win a Nobel Peace Prize. He would wipe the floor with flip-floppin' Mitt or Rudy "strong on defense, weak on radios" Giuliani.

The former Vice President would have huge problems running for President...Owning a Carbon Credits Co. and profiting from it for one. He also has been a extremist on other issues that will put him at odds with most people...His running for President would only guarantee one thing...A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT

Go for it Al. Please do us all a favor and run. I mean, it would only help the US turn into Europe post World War II from an economic standpoint. So please run Al. Everyone in France is counting on it!

Some people on the democrat side are really desparate. I guess Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama and John Edwards don't do anything for them that they have to wish Al Gore into the nomination!

As a resident of Florida, I can hardly stand to think we could see him again. Kerry thinks he won? He lost in six counts. How many more times would he have to lose before Kerry would say that he won convincingly?

Please God, let him run again. Anything that wastes more of the money on the left before we even get to the general election, the better! It will help Rudi or Fred wipe out the Dems again. They just never seem to learn. At least Bill Clinton "acted" like a moderate before he got elected. I dream of the Dems sending up another far left lamb to the slaughter!!!!!!

We have yet to learn just how much money Mr. Gore stands to make on the "Carbon Credit" scam.

Al Gore would be a dream come true for the GOP. After he embarrassed himself trying to steal the 2000 election he pretty much wrote himself out of American politics forever.

Gore did win the popular vote in 2000. The reason he was not inaugurated is our severely outdated electoral system.

If he runs.....he will win!!!!

Such a pointless petition. Kinda like running a petition to make farting illegal.

Good luck with this petition of futility.

I'm not going to suggest that Gore would be a sure thing, but for anyone to suggest that ANY republican would be a sure thing against ANY democrat, up to and including a yellow dog, only demonstrates how completely detached from reality they are. Things may change - they will change - but right now the Repubs are on the ropes.

Those 100,000 names, any of them actually alive?
Perhaps Michael Moore will be his VP and Cindy Sheehan sec of state

The comments to this article are the very reason why we need Al Gore to run for president. When all else fails, attack the person on a personal level, and forget completely about policy. It has worked marvels for this administration.

I fully believe the next President of the USA will be a former Tennessee Senator pushed into the race by a popular groundswell.

There is a minimum level of intelligence, and a minimum level of character and honesty, that is intrinsically required for a man to be worthy of consideration for the presidency of the United States. Mr. Bush did not meet it in 1999, when he first came to my attention as a candidate and, as a former Texan, I laughed at the absurdity of such candidacy. He did not meet it the next year, he did not meet in 2004, and he does meet this minimum today. There is, on the other hand, a maximum of these qualities that one has an historical right to expect in any presidential candidate. Mr. Gore has always EXCEEDED these maximum expectations. It would be a delight to cross party lines in his favor, to give the government of our country not just substance, but a chance for nobility.

HA! HA! HA!

The Dems are in real trouble, but it seems they don't know it yet.

They mistakenly equate Bush's unpopularity with a weakening of conservative politics.

They're going to find out how wrong that assumption is.

Fred Thompson is going to squash any Dem in his path. Just watch.

I hope Gore enters the race if just to see all the right wing nuts get their panties all up in a bunch like they are in this thread.

Oh, please, PLEASE let Gore run!!! What a mud-sling-fest it would be among him, Clinton, and Obama! How could he and Clinton attack each other and defend those attacks, having been co-workers in the same administration?! And Obama's star will fade soon once the functional illiterates of the left even come to realize the guy has no experience.

It's great the campaigning has started so early: People will quickly burn out and tire of these political narcisists by early '08 ... and all the more time to keep exposing them for the hypocrites they are! (Hey, Al, is your mama still singing that "Look For The Union Label" song to you at night as she did when you were a kid ... OF 27!!!)

Now we have proof that global warming is real. All the hot air generated by it has escaped -- and been inhaled by all of these "Gore-ers." Remember, folks, this is the same guy who wanted to ban automobiles! A President on a mission of madness, especially one based upon junk science -- would be a very dangerous President indeed.

Goracle! Goracle! GORACLE! GORACLE! GORACLE!!!!

Whats the matter with you people. He invented the Internet and Global Warming. I for one want to see what his next invention will be.

GORACLE! GORACLE! GORACLE!!!

PLEASE PLEASE RUN AL RUN

YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE IN THE SINGLE GREATEST CATASTROPHIC EVENT MANKIND HAS EVER KNOWN, BECAUSE IN MY INFINITE WISDOM, I KNOW WHAT TEMPERATURE THE EARTH SHOULD BE!!!!! Now please buy my book entitled "An Assault on reason" What a dope...

It appears that the Righties are peeing all over themselves. Is that fear that I smell?

it is always funny to read the comments when drudge links to an article. it is always full of conservatives spouting typical unintelligent dribble.

you'd think from reading most of this that bush was somehow a success for the nation. you'd almost think that america is perfectly ready to go the same route. highly unlikely me thinks.

the dems aren't really much better these days.

it is obvious that gore has changed a lot as a person in recent years. most of his criticisms regarding either the environment or politics are squarely directed at both sides of aisle. he seems rather tired of politics, and the circus that it brings. the circus that too many commentators in this discussion seem to enjoy being sheepled in.

i think that gore should run again, but not so much for his environmental opinons as much as the amazingly thoughtful and bold political thought he has been writing about lately. this guy is saying a lot of things that make a whole lot of sense. anybody here actually read the man's words, or just defer to heavily biased clips from drudge report?

in my opinion, the best thing he could do to prove his recent more non-partisan view of the state of our american democracy would be to run as an independant. the democrats have as much baggage as the republicans do. i don't trust any of the parties, as they have all proven themselves to be disgusting opportunists with no soul.

I hope he does run. He will lose .... again. And his running will surely irritate the Clintons and further divide the Democratic Party.

:-) Run Al, run.

Run Al Gore, Run. Mr. Bush is a liar, cheat and a fraud. He and his stinking band of NeoCon thugs almost stole the country.

Who needs Nader when you have Gore to dilute the lefty vote?

The outdated electoral system, referred to by Dan is why we are a Republic. Without it the people that live in less populated areas would not have a voice in our democratic process. The people that want to change our process are the same ones that forget this country was founded on the premise of religious freedom not the premise of religious autonomy. Al is an interesting person and I can not imagine him entering the bid for the White House when he has made so much outside of the political sector. Every time I think about his crusade for the environment, I keep thinking how he made the first $25mm was by strip mining Zinc.

It is sad, sad SAD when your candidate field is so poor that you want Al Gore to run for the nomination. Here's the really scary thing: out of Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, John Edwards and Al Gore, who is the most conservative/least nuttiest?

That's right, BILLARY is the least worst of the Democrat contenders. I think I'm going to be very, very sick . . .

If Al Gore is the answer... it must have been a really stupid question !

if gore runs i'll save money - the republicans will win in a landslide and therefore i won't need to donate anything.

if gore runs i'll savemoney - the republicans will win in a landslide and therefore i won't need to donate anything.

Gore is going to face massive lawsuits when it comes out that not only is the "climate change crisis" bad science, but also that Gore knew so before his first slide show. How embarrassing it would be for him to be our president.

Al Gore is a freaking idiot and so is anyone who would vote for him

Yea, for Al. I hope he gets in to the race. But how will he pay himself for all the carbon offsets he is going to generate with all that useless CO2 he puts out per os?

Scrap the Electoral College? I guess instead of recounts in 2 counties in 1 state, you want recounts in 100 counties in 50 states. Talk about a nightmare scenario. Get real. Our founding fathers had it right the first time.

Also, if Gore gets the Nobel Prize for his environmental work, he can share it with his good drinking buddy Yassir Arrafat when the world discovers Global Warming is a big hoax. Solar storms and cosmic rays are the likely culprit, not CO2 emissions. I wonder if Gore will be around to eat himself into oblivion again when the truth whacks him in the face? Oh, but the truth already has whacked him in the face;it just was conveniently set aside, because it didn't support his conclusion.

"He won once, he just didn't get inaugurated."

This is a testament to the nature of the Democrat party: villainous, delusional, or both.

Could it be that Gore supporters were stuffing ballot boxes in Palm Beach, FL (if not in other places as well)? Could it be that they were counting votes for Gore from discarded ballots where a voter mistakenly punched a chad next to a candidate they didn't meant to vote for, or in many cases, failed to even punch the chad at all? Could it be that some democrats were voting under the names of deceased people? Could it be that democrats in northern states were driving around in vans, picking up homeless folks, and offering them cigarettes and booze if they voted for Gore? Could it be that a democrat Congressman was pulled over during this time and the police officer found a vote-a-matic in his trunk? Could it be that complaints from democrats over the type of ballot used were a sham, since it was a democrat who proposed their use prior to the election, and they were such a useful tool in the recount fiasco? Could it be that absentee ballots from the military, which democrats have only since claimed to support, were thrown out and not counted due to their potential for Bush votes?

Could it be that Gore knew all this and God only knows what else was going on, and that was why he kept demanding recount after recount, none of which he ever won, though the number of Gore votes seemed to somehow increase slightly every time?

I think it is a tremendous show of mercy on the part of conservatives that we did not arrest or at least conduct criminal investigations on an awful lot of people for election fraud, including Gore himself. Every time I hear some liberal whine about how "Gore won" or "Bush was not elected", I know full good and well that I'm hearing the truth inverted 180 degrees.

I am a democrat and I'm upset with Congress. I don't understand why there are no overrides on GW's vetoes and why they just did not fund the war. I would love to see Al Gore run and Wesley Clark or John Edwards run for VP.

billybob, we in TN know that Al is not a Tennessean. He spent the first 22 yrs of his life in DC when his father was in the House & Senate. Al then was in DC from 1976-2000 when he was in the House, Senate & VP. He has spent much more of his life in DC than in TN.

Brian, a small correction. Al's net worth was much less than $25 million when he left office. His net worth now includes $30 million of Google stock he received as an advisor, and several million in Apple stock as a board member.

Al Gore is like cheap work boot: stiff and uncomfortable when new, pliable and yielding when it should be strong in mid-life, flabby, worn and weak in old age. Gore has never been, nor will he ever be a true leader. He was just the guy at the front for a time...nothing more.

His only news making ability these days is to continually try to look like he is marching in front of the Global Warming parade. A parade that he did not organize, ill understands, is incapable of leading and that he cannot finish. Global Warming ultimately is not a foundation on which he can win an election or drive an administration.

Those in the "draft Gore" movement should do both themselves and Gore a favor and let him fade into obscurity with some dignity.

Throw the old boot away before you stub your toe through one of the holes. Get yourselves a sturdy new pair. You will scarcely remember them/him in a years time.

Run all Run, give us Republicans a chance in 08.

Funny how biased the responses are, but the anti-Gore comments here are running 84%, whereas in national polls his favorability ratings are in the high 60's, higher than any Democratic OR Republican candidate.

Just for the record, folks, Big Al did score more raw votes nation-wide than did Mr Bush. I personally would like to see Dennis (the mouse) Kucinich get the nomination.

i think you global warming fans should sell
your cars and ride bicycles - so there would be
more and cheaper gas for the rest of us

None of the current candidates is worth electing.
Neither is Gore or Thompson. This country is in BIG trouble.

The only man running for the job is Hillary. Problem is she should be running for Putin's job not Bush's.

wow...conservatives are one scary, scared, oblivious bunch of hate-mongers...and bush has done exactly what for this country? wake up

Geez, can't we have 'none of the above' as a choice on the ticket so we can make these jokers on both sides come up with some viable options for president? Romney, Guiliani, Clinton, Obama, Edwards, etc. None of them are sound choices, and adding Gore to the fray doesn't make it any better for sure. The best candidate I've seen so far is Ron Paul and unfortunately, the right wing of my party will never nominate him and he'll run indy with no chance of winning even though he is the closest we'll find to a true constitutionalist conservative. Sad situtation that our elections have become such narrow-minded circuses.

SIGH. As a fiscal conservative, a social liberal, and as someone under thirty, I am so sick and tired of both left and right. Almost all of these comments are some of the most ignorant dribble I've ever seen. Anyone who chooses party over country, who actually believes in the rhetoric that is being spewed by both sides right now is not worthy of an opinion. It's extremely discouraging to see so many people, so many people who are supposed to be older, wiser, and more patient be so patently wrong and ignorant on almost everything. I hated Clinton. I hate Bush. I hate almost all of the presidential candidates out there aside from Ron Paul, Mike Gravel, and occasionally Obama (no fight in him usually). It's this continuation of left/right politics that is destroying this country. The thing that stikes alot of people about Gore, myself included, is how he has learned from the last eight years. There is an assault on rational, reasoned denate and on logic in general. It's the type of crap all of you are saying that is destroying us, infiltrating congress, and now the lives of americans. WAKE UP PEOPLE! How about electing someone who actually carries out the will of the people, not a [expletive] cheerleader that you will support because the support the one issue you care about. Protect the right of your brothers and sisters to disagree with you, to live differently than you, and to live as freely as you would want. Only then are you a true patriot. Not by supporting a losing war, not by supporting the taxation of Americans' labor, not by endorsing or disagreeing with global warming, but by REMOVING GOVERNMENT FROM THE LIVES OF AMERICANS SO THAT THEY MAY DO AS THEY PLEASE. Seriously, it's heartbreeaking to watch the older generations mutilate the fabric of this country because they want to be part of a "team".

Sure, I'd love to see him run again - he's a proven loser - but why would he? He's a media hero - he's making millions - he doesn't have to prove anything he's saying - it's just all being lapped up by acclaimation.
BUT FOLKS -- The status of his kid, or of Giuliani's kid, or of anyone's kid(s) should be off the table. Any of us who manage to raise happy and successful kids are darned lucky (and) blessed, and bad can happen to any of us - at any time. So in that area, lets stay off the high horse.

His high handed hysterical antics over the environment combined with our fearless leader's failure to manage our budget and the immigration problem says to me it is high time that a third party with a real platform and sincere candidates stepped up.

Gore is an embarrassment to our beloved state.

The fickle finger of fate has been so unkind
in having this awkward living, walking error
that personifies confused predicament as a
citizen from our treasured Tennessee.

How I wish for him a very long healthy and wealthy
and never to be heard and seen again in public retirement - - STARTING IMMEDIATELY!!!!

I'd like to see America begin to emerge from the Left/Right divide. All of us have points worth making, and the smugness on each extreme strikes me as counterproductive.

I say we elect a leader that is not from either Bushworld OR Clintonworld. Let's start over, shall we?

Let's enter a new phase of cooperation and tolerance of one another's ideas. I guarantee it will make it less frustrating for all the reasonable people out there just dying for our collective sanity to return.

Let's turn our back on the Rush Limbaughs, the Sean Penns and the all the other partisan, hateful hacks. No matter where we stand on the political spectrum, let's stand together to recognize these people for what they are: smug, hateful, judgmental and divisive.

Long live America.

Al Gore is an honorable man and by far the most qualified person to hold the office of President of the United States.

Al Gore is the finest candidate the USA has. We would be so blessed to have him lead us out of the nightmare this Bush administration has gotten us in. Republicans spend alot of time slinging mud with no substance. I urge you all to learn more about Al Gore; he is the clear choice if you just take the time to get past the Republican propaganda spin machine and seek the truth, for real. you will find the great things that have lead 100,000 people to sign a draft Gore petition. Please wake up America.

I am a long time conservative Texan Republican and voted straight ticket R. in the last two general elections and have never voted for a Democrat for president, and I've been voting since Reagan's first term. The one thing I hear from my fellow conservative friends is that they're willing to give Gore a shot. So am I. G.W. Bush is NOT a conservative. Neither is Gore but we know where he stands. You might not believe in global warming (I don't know if it's true or not or if we could even stop it) but who could argue that weaning ourselves off the Arab-Exxon teat is a bad thing?

I've learned my lesson. No more straight ticket voting. I'm voting for Gore if he runs, writing in somebody - maybe Gore - if he doesn't, and keeping my two Texas Republican Senators because they stood up to Bush and McCain on the amnesty bill. My message to my fellow conservatives and a lesson we all should have learned: Don't vote for someone just because they call themselves a Republican and never vote for someone who is obviously incompetent. Make the RNC give us quality candidates, if not this time then the next.

SIGH. I am in the same boat as John. Well put. I would like to add that we are too divided. The "with us or against us" mentality has pervaded every aspect of the political rhetoric and it is only hurting us and everyone else in the world.

How about a Ron Paul/Al Gore 08 Ticket. Let's unify out country!

This would be great, with Alphonso as president, he could finish the job Bush started. Sending the rest of the jobs to China and other 3rd world countries. It would be a lock or "Slam Dunk" once he signed his silly global warming legislation.

Gore is as crooked as Cheney and or Bush or any corrupt politician. Mr Gore while telling you we must act now on the saving the planet, has been very busy with Goldman Sachs setting up his very own personal Alternative Energy hedge fund. I guess it's not enough this jerk has to ruin lives and financial wealth of many Americans, he's going to profit from this.

I'll vote for him! NOT!

P.S. I don't work for an oil company, I just spend my spare time researching the lies Gore tells. Most of the rubbish in his film is false.

If he enters the race, we will once again have a replay of the dumb and dumber choice of 2000 versus any of the republican candidates. Who loses? America. when nobody really gives detailed explanations of how they are going to do anything! Universal Health Care Now!

Excelsior!

Yes Gore, please run. This time it will not be so close you will lose in a landslide. How do these people make a living and take care of themselves. It is obvious that they will believe anything if they believe him. Gore has to be the biggest liar to ever walk this GREEN earth.

Al Gore, the Harold Stassen of our era.

Santa, go to France where 80% of their people have private supplemental insurance to "fix" the problems in their universal health care systems that costs 15% of the GNP. I hope the socialists at least give us a choice between private and government run medical care. I will choose private every time.

What are all these people going to say when Al doesn't run and they realize what he is doing right now just might be geniune?? I'm no tree hugger, BUT my 2007 F-150 gets close to the same gas mileage as my old 1998 F-150 and the gas for it is 3x the cost!! Who is lying to who???

Mais oui, mon ami, Al. Allez, allez, allez, s'il vous plait!

This man gave us a 36 day election night because he is a sore loser when he was young according to a Tennessee radio station before the last election when he was running-- he took out a cyclone fence going 115 mph as young college guy and now his son got arrested for going 100 mph using drugs this is why Al flunked out of Divinity School. And it's why he didn't get a law degree according to his college room mate. W has been blamed for being stupid now who is really stupid a guy who thinks we're going to die from Global Warming. W has a MBA from Yale and actually served in the National Guard. Gore was given a body guard by his daddy a U.S. Senator for his 90 day stint in Vietnam. JW

I hate when Drudgereport readers comment. They are like attack dogs going anywhere One Guy sends them!!

RUN AL RUN!!!

C'mon, we all know he is going to run. Gore and Fred Thompson are both playing the waiting game to see who declares first. The longer they wait, the better for Fred because Fred is building a platform on honesty and integrity while Gore is proving himself to be an elitIst and a fraud.

run al run...do it cus we need you to!

Al Gore did win the popular vote in 2000, and I assume all the people who voted for him then will vote for him now. Now the people who voted for Bush in 2000 are a different situation. The moderates probably would vote for Gore. Some will stay home, except the hardcore base. I can see Al Gore winning in an environrment that is just toxic to republicans right now. Thoughts?

Since many of you had to bring up the 2000 election, please read:

BANANA HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

Mine eyes have seen the fury in the eyes of mad Al Gore
He is having temper tantrums 'cause the votes for Bush are more,
He has loosed his preying lawyers with his terrible loud roar.
His pride is marching on.

Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
His pride is marching on.

I have seen him stomping into the Democratic camps
of Florida's voter precincts where counters' hands developed cramps.
Voter intent is seen in ballots held up to bright and glaring lamps
The light is shining through.

Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
The light is shining through.

Recount after recount George W. Bush had always won
Even though the election is over, it isn't really done.
Gore's lawyers filed lawsuits and the action has begun.
Al Gore is pressing on.

Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
Al Gore is pressing on.

Butterfly ballots aren't confusing nor are they even bad.
Yet dimpled ballots were counted which is very, very sad.
"Swinging", "loose" and "pregnant" define a liberal chad!
Don't give non-votes to Gore.

Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
Surely, surely, Gore's the loser!
Don't give non-votes to Gore.

"Every vote must be counted." But what Gore really means is this:
"All votes for me can multiply like barley loaves and fish."!
Becoming president now is just an Al Gore Christmas wish.
Al Gore should now concede.

Surely, surely Gore's the loser,
An election law abuser.
Surely, surely Gore's the loser.
Bush was certified!

algore put this country through a month or more of angst by prolonging the inevitable. HE LOST! PERIOD! The U.S.Consitution worked exactly as the Founding Fathers intended for those of you who still whine. At least Richard Nixon conceded when the votes were in and Nixon put it behind him after the 1960 National Election was stolen in Illinois.
algore 'invented' the Internet and now he is pushing global warming -- a highly suspect issue. Gimme a break! Gimme thoroughly vetted new blood with integrity. AND, Obama ain't it. He has serious character issues such as running away from unpaid parking tickets in Mass. In Ohio, he could not get his driver's license renewed and his name would be in the papers as a scofflaw. Nice from a LAWYER! ARGH!

Al Gore's character, integrity and leadership have stood the test of time, and only refined and deepened with age. He is the only candidate for me and I am devoting all of my free and waking hours toward the efforts to place him on the ballot so that he may reclaim his place as our president.

Kerry said when asked if Gore should run in 2008. "He'd clearly be a very credible candidate if he decided to do it. He won once, he just didn't get inaugurated."

Kerry must not understand that one does not win The Presidency by popular vote. One might think that a senator should know such a thing.

Al Gore would win in a landslide in 2008.

Isn't he too old for the draft? Oh well, his daddy will probably get him out of it. Or were they trying to daft him? Too late.

Fred Thompson will eat the lunch of any Dim that gets the convention nod.

Ever notice how the NYT and LAT keep putting out hit pieces on him? And he hasn't even declared yet. The fact is that the Dems are very, very afraid of him.

Gore won't derail his money producing gravy-train fooling so many with so little to run for pres. He loves the idolotry... and the greenback his foolish greenies throw his way.

I would love to see Gore run. He might even steal the show from Billery. He lost when he was pretty moderate. Now that he's completely nuts, he couldn't possibly win, I hope.

A few observations: How interesting the Libs are using the word "draft" from a guy that hated the Vietnam War and tried to trick his way into getting a Purple Heart out of it.
And isn't it just like the Libs, to "force" someone to do what they want, using the media, polls, and a stupid petition that can do nothing.
Since he "created the Internet", maybe he can "create" a virtual Presidency. Oh wait. He already thinks he won!

Please run, Al, please! You'll be the Democrat's version of Thomas Dewey, another two-time loser!

The Democrats despite the wind blowing at their backs will lose in 2008. They're the quintessential losers who always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Run Al, run!

Algore is making too much money with his
"global warming" scam. All though I'd love to see him gore Hitlary and that empty suit John edwards.

Right now, Al has some star appeal but that's not enough to become President (as Obama will soon find out). It is very rare for someone to lose a Presidential election and try to make a political comeback and win 8 years later without even running for ANY public office in the preceding years. Add this to the fact that Al hasn't actually have any experience in running an administration, like a governor or even a mayor, and it is easy to understand that his chances at becoming President are even worse now then they were in 2000 when he could count on the Clinton presidency momentum. Al know this, which is why I doubt he will actually run, but he will travel around the country announcing his endorsement of whoever the Democrats select in the primaries.

Al Gore for President? Hey, if the democrat party wants to commit suicide I'm all for it.

Gore's a great man, a caring leader as opposed to bush who's destroying the country.

To make this post relevant to the article topic at hand: If Gore thinks he can bring something to the table let him sit down. Personally, i think he has way too much baggage to be elected. He cannot appeal to the middle and he would not be able to get past his global warming agenda to talk about the other issues at hand. He would be too busy defending 2000 and his global warming movies.

I think Al Gore would be a great president, and George W. Bush was the worst in US history. And what depresses me is that, even now, none of you can see that.

Bush is the dunce? He GRADUATED from Yale while Al Gore was FLUNKING OUT of divinity school!!!!

RON PAUL IS THE ANSWER PEOPLE.

THANK GOODNESS. YEAAAHHHH!
We need a visionary leader with the excellent decisions making skills, ideas and experience of Al Gore.
Return true leadership to help GUIDE US FORWARD to a better place.
Mr. Gore, we need you...and we KNOW WE NEED YOU!.
It is time.
Time for a COOL change, Al Gore 2008.

I don't know what's funnier...Al Gore actually trying to run for President AGAIN, or the comments on this website. I guess since Al invented the Internet and ran for President before, he can do it again...oh wait a minute...there's a certain inconvenient truth not being mentioned...Al's just not real...even with himself.

As a registered republican I would like to offer a few thoughts....

Recently, I purchased a movie called "America Blackout" it featured the campaign trail of Congressman Cynthia McKinney, her confrontation with Donald Rumsfield and the negative tactics of republican's who helped steal her election. It also provided a detail history of the Gore-Bush election and how my party stole the election from Gore. I must confirm the evidence is extremely convincing.

Over the years I have gone from far right wing neocon ideals to more of a centrist position. Having studied documents by many think tanks such as the CFR and many other government documents I must confirm both parties are corrupt. Yes, both parties are corrupt.

As a republican I can assure you if I had the power to arrest Cheney, Rice and Bush I would arrest them with war crimes and may other crimes. I have contacted both of my VA senators include Jim Web and Warner but it appears they are not willing to push the issue.

In closing we should never trust Al Gore, Bush family, Clinton family, Fred Thomspon, Obama Rudy at all. Why? They are all supported by CFR, Bilderburg views which seek to eliminate the borders of our nation. We must not subscribe to any of the mentioned parties. On the left I would favor Dennis, or Mike G. and on the right the only candidate is Ron Paul. I have meet Dennis and though I don't agree with many of his views. It would appear he has not be bought by the CFR, etc. On the other hand I have asked Hilliry a question in a small gathering and she could not and I repeat could not offer a reply about the real ID Act.

As an American I'm simply trying to warn the people. Al Gore has been bought and paid by global leaders and he will not adhere to the law of the land.

Thanks for your time reading my post and may our nation wake up and remove our own major terror theat - Many members from our own nation.

You know the more I hear Gore's past in some ways I don't think he is that different from Bush, except we wouldn't be able to use bunker bombs because of the emissions.

Does anyone like real freedom? Why is it that everyone wants the government to do things for them? Nanny state with hypocrites running the show. Elect someone whose oath to uphold and protect the Constitution really means something. Water vapor causes the greenhouse effect not carbon. Ron Paul is the only candidate not bought by special interests and really interested in freedom. He has a 30 year record of doing exactly what he promises. If you hear his platform and think one of these other idiot Dumbocrats or Republidems is really worth electing your stupidity should be punished and it will when our kids are living the Chinese dream. Famous hypocritical Al Gore quote for all you supporters. "I used to smoke pot but it is much more harmful today"

Al Gore will, hopefully, run & win. He won last time he ran.

Gore's great, greater even than Bubba. But is his time passed?

Thank God Al Gore didn't get away with stealing the election in 2000. =)

He has been right about the war in IRAQ and many other issues. He's been against the Iraq war from the get-go. Let's not forget that he won the popular vote and, to many of us, the election. He's also squeaky-clean, with no skeletons in his closet, as 2000 proved. Al Gore needs to be the next President of the United States, for all of our sakes.
Hopefully, with a hefty dose of begging, he'll heed the call.

"Every recount showed that Bush won over and over again?" Although I'm not going to contend whether he won or not... I don't care anymore... but I would like to point out that with hanging chads, yes Bush wins. With overvotes? (Where people wrote in Gore and voted for him... there were some for Bush too) Gore wins by a sizable margin. The problem with 2000 is that we'll never know exactly who had the most votes, mostly because of an illegal ballot. Note that the butterfly ballot that was causing such a head ache is and was illegal by Florida law.

And for the rest of you... just because you like to drive SUV's and don't give a s***, doesn't mean that the rest of us don't. Although Gore probably isn't a top choice, who doesn't suck less in EITHER camp? It's moron group A v Moron group B

Gore would do great running for office until he would put his foot in his mouth as he always does

Sad thing is the man is smart and has personality but he always screws up. The most impressive Gore i saw was the one who ran in 1988 and it has been downhill ever since

Had one or two comments been critical of Gore it would've been convincing.
Once you read through the first 10 posts, and beyond, it seems that this is the work of an organized gang of henchman. But in reality it's probably only a couple of guys sitting in their underwear typing madly from their parent's basement.
Get a life.

Will a Toyota Prius really do 100 mph?

Nixon lost to Kennedy in 1960. Nixon came back to win in 1968. It is possible.

Attention! The recount was stopped. The US Supreme Court decided who would be the next president. And they voted exactly along party lines. Just because you vomit the same sentences over and over again, doesn't mean your words are true.

Can't wait for the Prius parade with Big AL running around poisoning kids with fiction and lies. Big Al would assure the Republicans a win in '08! Heck, we might win anyway with all the democratic goofs running right now. We're are in trouble if one of them wins- means we lose the war, get socialized medicine, spineless government that will get trampled by Chavez, Al Qaeda, and others. The war will come to us and then what! Isreal will really be the bad guys on earth and will likely drop a bomb on Iran. If you Dems out there think we're screwed up now in a baseless war, your party will invite our enemies for lunch and they will have a hay day blowing us to smithereens. It's a different more dangerous world that takes tough leadership, not leadership that follows, leaders are not followers (also known as todays Democrats). Get real guys and vote to defend what our ancestors worked so hard for!

Wow, this is a pretty right-leaning message board...I think Gore would probably be a more reasonable candidate than the other Democratic front runners (I do like Richardson and, to an extent, Edwards). However, I do think he would by far be better than any of the Republican candidates...Seriously, a third of them don't believe in evolution! Does anyone want that kind of moron running our nation? All Rudy knows is that he was in NYC during 9/11. I always liked McCain, but he's recently been pandering to the right so much that he's lost all credibility. Its hard to tell which McCain will show up if he's elected.

Bottom line, all the candidates (at least those with any chance of winning) suck pretty bad. Why not throw in someone who is honored and respected around the world...something we could really use right now.

Gore will not be tempted by all of this-- draft talk, not if he fully understands how fickle people are. Those who ask him to wear the crown today, will hold off on it tomorrow.

Gore, for some reason I believe you when you say that you have no interest in running again. There are many ways to make a contribution-- on global warming you have already started a crusade. With the millions you make now-- that should be a comfortable place to sit and watch the horse race or give your support.

Pat Gunkel: minimum level of intelligence? Bush didn't have it, Gore does? Gore's IQ is 2 points lower than Bush, Gore's grades were worse in College. Talk about a fantasy world.

I voted for Gore in 2000 and would most likely vote for him again. He is respected all over the world. Part of that respect comes from the fact that GW has been such a monumental failure as a president and leader that other countries understand the mistake 49% of Americans made in 2000.

Whoever wins the Democratic nomination will destroy the Republican challenger in 2008. GW has crammed a centuries' worth of embarrassment into eight unforgettable years.

This debate illustrates the genius of Karl Rove and his foresight in understanding that he could mobilize legions of people into voting for the party that best galvanized support for a half-dozen social issues, but which understood very little about that party's policies. How sad that Karl's genius has been proven disastrously correct. Our country has suffered greatly because of it. Sadly, the National Socialists also galvanized the masses into voting based on similar social issues in 1933. Perhaps that was Karl's cue card?

Face it, even the WSJ poll that had W at 29% ran a generic 2008 Presidential: Dems 52 Repubs 31 . It's over. No one believes W, Cheney, any of the right wing water carriers on radio or television, nor YOU. The jig is UP.

Senator Clinton said in 2001 that "We need to re-elect Al Gore". Here he comes.

Oh please you guys, quit pretending, there is no way a former Bush straight line voter, don't care how much you hate Bush, will ever be believable saying he has switched to this mudpie, if you even thought Bush was dumb, he is a scientist compared to Gore the Bore, oh the left screams, he is really good when you get to know him, he is just stiff in public, they said the same crap about Kerry and now The MRS.... no your guys are bad off stage and ON STAGE, please run al, please. Congress' ratings lower than ever, we could get it all back again, both houses and the presidency if he runs, run al, run

Well, well. Pretty ironic that took Bush 43 to prove that Bush 41 was right all along---don't take Baghdad--or else you live with the consequences. The Iraq war has been the greatest strategic mistake in the history of the US. (Even now their government is a total mess.) We were all just blinded by 9/11 to protest the invasion.

Al Gore was right about going in to Kuwait---the first Gulf War---he was one of the few who said yes, and he was right about Iraq--not to go in. He probably won't run---he's made north of $50 million since he left the White House and everybody (well, lots of people) applaud his work on the environment. He also knows that the moment he runs all the negativity towards him will surface.

"While Fred Thompson is building a campaign on honesty and integrity"

What has that guy done that makes you think that? The conservative spin doctors have come down right hilarious now.

Oh another one talking about all the money he has made. Take a moment and see how much money he donates to charity. Everything from Inconvenient Truth goes to charity. Now please try to argue Gore's personal wealth against Cheney.....give me a break! We had to go to war to help fund Cheney's bank account. You are all a hypocritical joke! Go Dems!!!

On another note, I don't even want Gore to run but I think he's still better than every single Republican running.

Al is not going to run for a number of reasons.

Locally (Tennessee) he never has carried our state and he won't if he happens to bump into
the nomination.

The biggest black mark on the man is his
fake carbon credit company, the day 60 Minutes shows up in their corner offices is the day
Tipper better find a band needing a drumer!

Al is a bit like the former great Howard Baker, he has lost too many times to recover.

As someone who grew up listening to many of the bands that then TN Senator Gore wished to censor, there's not a snowball's chance in Miami that I'd vote for him, even if he ever realized that our climate is in a constant state of change and doesn't want or need his help.

At a family re-union I mentioned that since Algore is the darling of the weird after the unsuccessful Live Bad Mouth, I believe he will have enough momentum by next year to announce a write-in, a week before the election and win.

So, there you have it! It's done, we will have an automaton for a President.

I ask one thing, please someone order a physician to make an incision in his arm to make sure there are no chips or wiring.

Their calling for Gore to run,
Hasn't this already been done?
A few years back
He got a lot of flack
And it ended up that Bush had won?

2007 and they think he will win
Now isn't this wearing thin
Let him keep seeking attention
with his so called honorable mention
maybe they can use him in West Berlin.

100,000 people do not represent the whole of the USA. So stop saying the 'nation' is asking Gore to take leadership. Keep it to your little signature group.

I have never seen so many idiots congregated in one place. Surely you are W's 26%. If you believe that you would rather have Bush than Gore, then you certainly deserve the moronic war criminal that you voted for. 74% of this country has had enough of your willful ignorance. We cannot get the Bush administration out of office fast enough.

Maybe it's a good thing to have Ozone algore run again.
It will show everyone that the liberals, ie "progressives" or whatever they call themselves this week to love a great joke.
But, I doubt it, he's too busy hiding from his recent Dead-head moonbat concert flop thing from last weekend.
Goes to show, once a loser, always a loser.

Philip Hritzak seems to have some personal problems that are clouding his judgement. A divorce and supporting Al Gore. Poor guy.

I wonder how all these people seething hate for Gore so long can stand to live with themselves. Especially given the fact that most of the hard core haters claim to be Christian. This type of hate is not in the bible. You are to be pittied;

The large majority of these haters do so because they hated Clinton. So be it. I would remind them that Clintons transgressions were of a personal nature. Bush's have effected every American.

If you can live with your hate, I certainly can. It doesn't bother me, and I'm quite sure Gore can as well.

Your hate got us the worst president in the history of the country. He's incompetent, has miopic vision, absoulutly cannot admit he's wrong, even to save thousands of lives. And he has told more lies than any president since Nixon. These lies are not over personal transgressions. His lies put us into a war. His approval ratings in 2001 were in the tank. fter 9/11 the country rallied around him and his aproval rating soared. He liked that. He and his war council decided war was the best way to keep your office. The American people never fire a president in wartime.

Now his lies are discovered and his approval ratings are the lowest of any president in the history of the nation.

So seathe away...but don't say it is because you are christian.

well he did kill manbearpig........

A lot has been said by gore on global warming. interesting part is that we hear what could happen in 100 years such as New York being under water,etc. If gore can predict what could happen in 100 years then surely he should be able to tell me how bad it will be in my life time, say 10,15,20 or 25 years. I could make a prediction on global warming in 100 years. Will anyone reading this be alive to prove me wrong. what a money making hoax.

Gore is one of the richest men in the world. Ask him how much Armand Hammer paid him for the mineral rights under his farm.

Awwww....you hate when people come are refered to a site from drudge report? Well don't worry, if you're censorship friends in the media have their way, we'll have to have one liberal post for each conservative post, that way your feelings won't get hurt and you won't have to read things that you don't like to remember like Al Gore losing the 2000 elections.

I find it interesting to note that democrats are the ones that think most often that we're a democracy....and yet....we're a republic. America would do well to research exactly what each one is.

Wandered onto this site by accident and, Good Lord! Here's where the 26% are hiding. Talk about cognitive dissidence. But among the rocks and bottles come the honest few to say, "Let's give this man a chance." That's the beginning of the healing the country needs. Thank God they are starting to speak up over the blaring tin horns of denial.

"Draft Al Gore" Maybe spending some time in the military would be good for this young man.

One question Drudgers: What will Bush be doing after he leaves office? Helping tsunami victims? Comforting Katrina victims? Building houses for the homeless? Raising awareness of environmental problems? Or pocketing millions by shilling for his corporate pals? Take a guess...

When are you hard left & hard right people going to wake up and realise what is going on? The best and the brightest are not running for office because they do not want to be publicly immolated by smear tactics, media, opposition, et. al. There was a time we had intelligent discourse and time for debate was not unilaterally declared "over" by either side. Based on their actions and not much really separating the parties since Clinton did bomb Iraq too and got into just as illegal a war in Kosovo as Bush did in battling the insurgency in Iraq after Congress (democrat & Republican) voted to give him the authorisation to use force to overthrow Saddam, it is time to ponder both parties with a degree of Orwelian skepticism with the following 2 equations:
Bush = Gore (think of their business ethics)
Democrat = Republican (think of how they both exploit power and do not use it to give you such things as Universal Health Care but instead corporate welfare and perks for freinds with your money).
Can't we do better than any of the candidates including Gore?

Republicans are the biggest weenies out there brainwashed at birth by redneck parents that grow up to go to the Sludgereport.com....they think somehow that the more they comment the more they CAN CONVINCE SOME LOST REDNECK THEY HAVE CHANCE IN 2008 ...lol...last time I checked GOP LOST SEATS AND THEY WILL KEEP LOSING THE BIGGEST SEAT OF THEM ALL -THE WHITEHOUSE...SLEEP TIGHT MORONS

Gore won?

I guess the constitution isn't very valuable to liberals.

LOL...I might join the draft Al Gore movement just to watch his reaction at his campaign HQ when he wins and then concedes.

Again.

This will make Queen Hillary a little peeved.

Gore had his chance when Clinton was impeached. All he had to do was go to the Dem leadership and tell old Bubba that he was done and the Clinton era would have ended in a flash and Gore would have been reelected very easy as it would have shown a great care for the country. Instead he stood out there on the driveway of the WH, put his arm around and called him the greatest of all time. Boy I bet he wishes he could turn back the clock.

Gore will not run as the big money is better than all the grief of being the President.

What about the officials and heads of particular election committees in Florida and around that country that were close personal friends of the Bush family during the 2000 elections? Did any of those people have an effect on the outcome of Gore's challenge, as in, throwing away a case or ignoring certain rules in the weeks leading up to election (ex. not sending absentee ballots and preventing certain residents from registering). RFK, Jr. posed an interesting article in Rolling Stone last year. Interesting and scary. Screw Democrats, Screw Republicans, long live America.

Yes, do draft Gore. Losing another election would do him some good, perhaps some humility would cure him of his inflated ego and he'd have more time to spend with his spoiled brat of a son.

The critical comments would be a lot more credible if you could face the truth about how bad George Bush has screwed up our country. The fact that most of you worship the guy shoots down pretty much all the arguments on this message board.

haha look at all these republicans hating on him because they know he actually has a chance to win. if they didn't they wouldn't even care to write. lol pathetic

Gore for '08, losers

Gore & Clinton had 8 years in office, with nothing really to show for it at the end. Sure, they didn't screw things up anywhere near as bad as Dubya, but they had their chance and they blew it. For all of Gore's supposed environmental "credentials", he didn't really change anything when he was Vice-President.
I'm glad he's helping to raise environmental awareness again now, but for President we need a new attitude and a new vision. Go Obama!

"Candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize?" Only far-left Liberals get that award. That sums that up

1

There are so few posta that discuss anything about the candidate's records. Question Gore about why he didn't raise the issue of Global Warming while he was VP? Sure. Question Guiliani about his the OEM planning in NYC? Yes. With so many good questions to ask, why is there so much nonsense and name calling? For those of you wondering why our frontrunners are all cardboard cutouts of eachother, it's because they know the American public is not smart enough to ask the questions that really matter. We cheer when they talk about how they support torture more than the next guy. We are thrilled to debate the cost of Edwards' haircut, while he plans his end poverty now bus tour.

Our entire federal government is failing us, but yet we think it's the fault of one party vs. the other.

There are smart and competent people on both sides, however, they constantly dumb themselves down because we don't demand anything more than soundbites and platitudes.

So all of you brainwashed Neocons- who is going to win then? McCain? Romney? Brownback? You guys have NOTHING but might as well trash the Dems... because no matter what, after these past years, you're losing the white house. You are a dying, dumb breed. I don't care if you all piled into this forum thinking you actually had a brain.

It doesn't matter if it is Obama, Clinton, or Edwards, your team is getting the boot- ESPECIALLY if A.Q. has rebuilt- that scare tactic won't work this time. We all know we are creating more terrorists with our current incursion based on "oopsie"

BREAKING NEWS- House defies Bush with Iraq Deadline!!!! Wake up you arrogant meatheads and admit you were wrong!

Somehow our intellect which used to emerge from our university system has evolved to a social intellect of political and celebrity elites. We see consensus being allocated more 'truth' (derived from inconvenient) than proof. Agreed , there is not always time for determinism, but Al Gore uses consesus as a foundation, not an exception. As a president, he would lead toward 'false plateaus on the fitness landscape' simply because he would be using the Clinton paradigm of poll triangulation instead of values. If the polls change in the middle of the battle, simply pick up and leave (Somalia or Democratic congressional approac to Iraq). This is not leadership, it is being lead.

Just cannot believe people are so damn stupid. Go ahead--boost Bore Gore's egotistical wanna be brain!
Voting for Little Lord Fauntleroy really shows the mentality of some strange people in our country!!

Gore flunks out of law school, then flunks out of divinty school...now he pretends to be a Scientist. Liberals just eat this stuff with a spoon! Hey Al....what caused the global warming that ended the previous seven ice ages? No humans with SUV's, no hair spray and no Live Earth rock bands using megawatts of power on stage....yet the ice still melted.

AL GORE INVENTED THE INTARNETS IN 1995!!!

Maybe we should change the law so that we can get the current president and vice-president to run against Gore for a rematch. Old Al would definitely stay out of it then. Hey! If we can't change the law, then let's just switch the ticket around. Cheney-Bush. It would be a landslide, right?

Al Gore would bring a sense of reason to his administration. Does anyone think we would be in this shape as a country, in a war we can't win, mired in debt to foreign nations, with a liar for a president, and losing respect of other nations every day, if Al Gore had been elected by the Supreme Court instead of Shrub.

Can't believe people still don't realize what they have done to the country and themselves by electing an incompetent man manipulated by another who could never be elected by himself.

Poster child for birth control?, Scott, you must not remember Pres. Gore's daughters.

Al, please run. The way it's stacking up now for the '08 campaign, there won't be enought humor in it--much too serious. You will add the "clown factor."

It is amazing people from the Green Party who voted for Nader in 2000 are now attempting to elect Gore.

Realistically the United states need a third party to which is devoted to

A) Establishing term limits two term for any office

B) Moving the working part of the capital to a some sparely populated region in the midwest devoid of traditional D.C. lobbyist.

C) Enforcing existing immigation laws

To Pat Gunkel, if you would compare the Presidents score on Military testing to Bore or sKerry, you would find he scored much higher than either of your heroes. Also, don't think Albert has an MBA from Yale or Harvard, in fact how many different colleges did he bomb out of? And that is discounting the fact that albore is a first class, tin-hat wearing moonbat!

What an absolute loser he is. He flunked out of divinity school, but that hasn't stopped him from traveling around like an evangelist HUCKSTER, preaching his phony religion of man-made global warming. Gore wouldn't know real science if it sat in his lap. Typical liberals (like him) cannot let facts get in the way of their dogma.
It's the sun, stupid.

Bush should thank his lucky stars that the electoral college still exists. Otherwise, based on popular votes alone, Gore would already be president!

I'd love to see Gore get in for one simple reason: If he runs, both he and Hillary lose.

Vote Manbearpig in 08!

Mr. Gore please run and save our country. Please do not listen to ignorant people who think George Bush is a great guy. Democrats will win the presidency in 2008, because the Republicans have nearly ruined our great country. Mr. Gore, we need you, plain and simple.

Al Gore would make a fantastic Democrat nominee, his record speaks for itself and his positions would do much for the election process, take this little nugget as an example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JE48XHKG64

Wow, after reading the comments, it's apparent that most republicans are idiots when it comes to Al Gore. It's a shame there are so many stupid people out there.

Yes . . . Mister Gore . . . Pleeeeeze run for the Presidency of the United States. They need you! The, Democratic Party can then officially merge with the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus.

You have to remember one of the reasons why Gore won the popular vote was because the Liberal media declared Gore the winner of Florida at 8:05 pm eastern time. This was with 55 minutes left to vote in the Western Florida counties.

This meant that Bush had no chance to win the election, thus countless numbers of people did not vote who thought for sure that Bush had already lost. This was true in the Central and Western United States.

Bill Sammons book on the 2000 Election documented these facts.

As for this garbage about the electoral college being an ideal system, explain the rationale for this please. This system is ancient and was deisgned in a time when regionalism was mroe prominent than party affliation. When can we all grow up and stop pretending that it's fair that the 150,000 people in North Dakota can quite literally defeat the votes of 15 million Californians. If you win by 500,000+ votes why would you not be elected. We claim this system protects states, but what it really does it protects a party. There are simply more democrats than republicans, this was evidenced in 2000 and would have been so again had Kerry not been such a total loser.

While you may hate Bush for the war, he has done wonders for the economy given the circumstances [corporate fraud, tech bubble and 9/11].

This presidency, while some say is in the back pocket of corporate America has done the most to fight corporate fraud with the introduction of tougher laws and SarBox.

His biggest mistake wasn't even Iraq, it was thinking he could be bi-partisan and keep some of Clinton's people in office. Tenet - Clinton brought him in, he said that Sadaam was the largest threat to the US [in 1998] and Bush put his trust in him and others. He should have cleaned house when he came in like Clinton did to all the DA's so they wouldn't look into he and his wife's past.

Clinton had the luck to fall into a great economy, rode it the best he could and ignored all threats to the country. Sweep it under the rug, it will go away. Can we sweep Gore under the rug and make him go away?

All you need to know is that if the American people were to go back in time to the year 2000 and have that election again, Al Gore would win in a landslide. If anybody honestly thinks Bush could beat Gore in an election today you have lost all grasp on reality.

George Bush has spent 6 and a half years now destroying this country and over 70% of the country thinks so. I welcome the opportunity for America to correct that mistake.

What a gas!

We Republicans can only hope he would get the nomination for the Democratic ticket. He lost once by a small margin, now people know what he is really like. It would be like Christmas!

I'm so tired of right wingnuts with gigantic brainfarts filling the commentary fields of every article that is positive towards a democrat.

You offer nothing to the world, but venom and bile. I feel a bit sorry for you. Because you can't win. Bush stole the election in 2000, and has been the worst President i US history. There is no way to get around that, and there is no way to get around that he has effectively broken the back of the Republican Party.

Gore will run in 2008 and he will win. There is no candidate in this world that can win a national election in 2008 with an -r- behind their name.

I pity you.

"When can we all grow up and stop pretending that it's fair that the 150,000 people in North Dakota can quite literally defeat the votes of 15 million Californians."

When are YOU going to grow up and realize that "150,00 people in North Dakota" can not defeat "15 million Californians?" North Dakota has only 3 Electoral College votes to California's 55, but take those 3 from North Dakota and add the 3 from South Dakota, 10 from Arizona, 20 from Ohio, 4 from Idaho, 10 from Wisconsin, and 5 from New Mexico and those states can collectively defeat California. That's what the Electoral system does, it prevents one or two large population states like California and New York from dominating the presidential elections.

You may not like it but this system has worked for over 200 years and has elected almost as many Democrats as Republicans. It is not a system designed to support one part over another for if that were true Democrats would have been defeated in every presidential election since Lincoln took office. (Lincoln was a Republican, remember?) This system was designed to prevent a large population state from dominating in the White House and it actually works.

Alex, if it wasn't for the electoral college no candidate would ever visit Iowa, a state with fewer votes to offer than Austin, Tx. But Iowa is the breadbasket of America, a vital region with unique needs and an example of why the founders of this country wanted the candidates to vie for the votes of individual regions with visits and political promises. It's the same reason tiny states like Iowa and Maine are given undo weight in the U.S. Senate with 2 senators each.

I'm amazed at some of the ridiculously idiotic things believed by people who seem to get most of their so-called "facts" and "news" from talk-radio and/or the self-proclaimed network of the Bush White House, The Faux (or as they call it, Fox) News Network. These people really should do a little research before calling Global Warming a fallacy or blaming it on, for example, solar flares, of all things. About the only scientists who dispute the VERIFIABLE facts of Global Climate change and the ever-accelerating warming our planet is going through are those whose careers depend on going along the current President's views. And I use the word scientist loosely when referring to those individuals, since ignoring easily verifiable measurements isn't actually science; it's more akin to an ideology, or perhaps the blind faith demanded by many self-styled "Conservative Christian leaders". Al Gore didn't "invent" global warming in order to sell his book, as one apparently seriously deluded poster on here claims, nor does the fact that he trades carbon-offsets make him a hypocrite, as another claims. Carbon credit trading is about as truly a capitalistic approach to slowing global warming as can be found. Isn't the catch-phrase of Conservatives "Let the free market solve the problem"? Carbon trading seems to be a very democratic thing to do, doesn't it? Perhaps even a Patriotic thing, in the true sense of the word, rather than the way the current administration has re-defined it. If more people would educate themselves and stop letting others do their thinking for them, perhaps those fortunate enough to own waterfront property today won't have to watch as it becomes, sadly, their underwater property tomorrow.

1-If Gingrich runs Hillary will be defeated.

2-Bush said 2 days ago that Hillary will be the
candidate; many of her comments and voting as
Senator including the last days on the subjecr of
Iran (terrorist countries)helping the Republicans
point to a tacit agreement with the dark powers
that want to keep this country in their hands.
3-Study History. We can see dictatorship coming
unless we select a real democratic leader.I mean
Hillary from the Democratic Party is not a real
democrat.
4-We need Al Gore even if he made some mistakes
in the past.I think he is stronger now.

no offense
suck it up
i'm sure nobody made their son go into the army
drafting doesn't exist anymore

Actually, to all of you thinking Al would lose in 08, polls suggest otherwise. It seems like any big name Democrat (and a few of the second tiers) actually beat any republican put forward.

And to whoever suggested that without the electoral college, Dems would lose every election since Lincoln, thats the most retarded thing I've ever heard. If we go by popular vote, Democrats would have won three more elections than they have already, with Tilden, Cleveland and Gore. And supposing Tilden and Gore won re-election, that puts the number up to 5 extra victories (supposing Cleveland wouldn't have sought a third term).

As for comments on congressional approval ratings, apparently over 40% approve of the Dems in congress, only 20% approve of republicans. Seems to me like the left over riff raff from the 06 elections are dragging everyone else down. Its no big deal though, as the republicans have quite a few more seats to defend next year as compared to last.

Yes Lincoln was a republican. He won a civil war and freed the slaves. Now, what else have the republicans given us? Reconstruction (a terrible mess NOT advocated by Licoln), Watergate and Nixon's pardon, Vietnam (Eisenhower), the Great Depression, Iraq, the Patriot Act, domestic spying, a powerful Iraq (Reagan), a powerful Al-Queda (Reagan), Coolidge (Third only to Nixon and Grant, both republicans, as the most corrupt president in histroy), Iran-Contra (Reagan) and countless other miss givings, depressions and scandles. I guess to be fair, they did give us the Interstate system and welfare reform. =)

Right on Jon - -

Looks like the prospect of Al Gore running for President has a few people a little nervous! Besides the mean spirited remarks, and spewing the first negative thing that comes to mind - - we're still getting the old "Gore Invented the Internet" crap. After all of these years they haven't read enough to know that this, among other lies, was untrue.

Look things up people. The future of your country depends on it. The need of some to defend their belief systems with transparent BS is laughable.
