Al Gore is trying to create a faux "draft Gore" movement along the lines of the authentic "draft Fred Thompson" grassroots movement of his fellow Tennesseean. Original story was posted on FR: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1838685/posts

This would be a great opportunity for Al to get his ass kicked in his home state again!

“In May Jobs stated that Gore - also an Apple board member - would win the presidency if he ran for election.”

In other news, Steve Jobs was involuntarily committed today.......

I wouldn’t even buy a phone from Steve Jobs.

How about letting Al Gore run Apple for a few years instead?

[NRA2BFree]

Oh goody. I hope Al runs. He was so much fun when he ran the last time. He makes me feel soooooo sane. ;o) I’m still amazed that he has a 48% approval rating from the RATS. The guy is so out to lunch it’s pathetic. Since they all support him, I guess they all must be too.

" he is more interested in "moral" rather than "political" issues."

Well, of course, he is.

There is much more $$$ and fame to be made milking the Global Warming BS than running for a real job.

I knew I hated Macs for some reason, now I know.

“”If he ran, there’s no question in my mind that he would be elected,” Jobs told Time magazine. “But I think there’s a question in his mind, perhaps because the pain of the last election runs a lot deeper than he lets most of us see.””

Deeper than he lets most of us see? After he lost the election, he went into hiding, got fat, grew a beard and sulked for months. Then he came out and yelled until his eyes bugged out about the President betraying the country. He did not deal well with the stress of losing. I can imagine that actually being President for 4 or 8 years is quite a bit more stressful.

How poorly would Al Gore have handled that?

“In May Jobs stated that Gore - also an Apple board member - would win the presidency if he ran for election.”

Hey, give Jobs a break...maybe he's just trying to get rid of Al by encouraging him to run.

Either that, or Jobs adds weight to the theory that most techies and scientists should be kept locked in their labs and not allowed to comment publicly on political issues, because it makes the rest of the techies and scientists look stupid.

[Logical me]

I’m beginning to feel ashamed that I’ve been with Apple since the old days of the old small green monitor. This is my last. Jobs is a a@@, and the main reason that it is so hard to find compatible software for the Mac.

[hophead]

It’s amazing a man with such forethought is stupid enough to think Al Gore is capable of being POTUS.

'Scuse me whilst I grab a tissue...

Al Gore invented the Internet! It's true! He said so himself! Just listen...

Al Bore invented the Internet.

Apple puts “Made in California” on their products, as opposed to the conventional “Made in the USA”, a more than subtle dig, in my opinion, at the USA as a whole.

Let the smug Jobs enlist his idiot pal Gore to run for President of Freakifornia, and leave the rest of sane America alone....

[Islander7]

Does anyone else remember the huge donation Jobs made to the first Clinton campaign in 1991 or so? Shortly after Clinton was elected, he lifted the ban on some sensitive computer equipment allowing Apple to sell nearly a billion bucks in hardware to China.

I remember the news reports from that time, but no one made a big deal about it (of course). Anyone have any info on that time period and incident?
