The Faithful Pine For Gore To Parlay (Nobel) Prizes Into Presidency-(Announcement Friday?)

He has won an Emmy and an Oscar as an innovator and environmental leader, but supporters of former Vice President Al Gore say he deserves still more - the White House.
Hundreds of loyal "Draft Gore" activists in California and around the nation hope Gore hits a trifecta of public recognition on Friday when the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize is announced. The award of a Nobel Prize could prompt the 2000 Democratic presidential candidate to change his mind and launch a 2008 presidential run, they believe.
"It's like waiting for Grateful Dead tickets to go on sale, back in the day," says Eric Schiller of Moss Beach, an activist with the California arm of America for Gore (americaforgore.org), one of a coalition of 19 independent groups pushing Gore to run for the White House.
Schiller's group collected hundreds of signatures this week at "Draft Gore" tables set up inside Cupertino's Flint Center, where Gore addressed packed audiences for two nights this week.
"He's the favorite, and we're waiting for him to get into the race," said Schiller, whose group has orchestrated a "Two Cents" campaign urging Gore supporters to send the former vice president a simple message of support - two pennies in an envelope. "And we'll have campaigns launched the minute that happens."

Many of the crazier moonbats are starting to realize just how badly Hillary will get beat, if Republicans put up a decent Candidate (non-Rudy), and are praying for The Messiah of The Religion of Global Warming, Goracle, to save them....

How ignorant is this Nobel Committee if that total fraud Gore has a chance? Is this where they stick the profoundly retarded of Norway?

Run Al, Run!
Thought I heard a news clip today saying that he didn’t win that fine, fine brass ring, however.
Green Party. Please, let it be so. For the Global Footprint, Mr. ineffectual Vice President.

I’m waiting for him to win American Idol, Miss America, Hell’s Kitchen, and The Dating Game before casting my vote for this hack.

He did save us all from manbearpig but I still don’t think that deserves a Nobel Prize. I’m serial.

I hope Hillary is making a public appearance if and when Gore announces and it’s filmed for posterity.

There are Nobel Prizes in different categories. That man won for Chemisty (ozone).
Rush is also a nominee this year although it isn’t on the MSM’s radar.
Yassir Arafat, Kofi Anan, and Jimmy Carter have won in the past. You are better off with a Golden Globe...

Ditto. I hope he does run, make Hitlery spend more of her ill-gotten cash faster than she expected to.

Rush is also a nominee this year although it isn’t on the MSM’s radar. Not only that, but Rush promised that if he won the Nobel Prize, he would run for president. (He just didn't say when).
