Should Al Gore Run in '08?
National Ledger ^ | Oct. 15, 2007 | JB Williams

Sharing the Nobel Prize with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has given rise to a lot of talk about yet another Al Gore run for the White House. Nobody looked more uncomfortable Friday morning than Hillary Clinton, the current front-runner for the Democrat nomination, who clearly saw her own star fading fast as Al accepted the highest honor offered any international leftist.

(snip)

The Gore name was now tainted in the Democrat Party as a three-time loser. Though he remains a very popular icon to the polarizing far left-wing of the Democrat Party, he is seen by many Democrat voters as a waste of vital political resources.

Should he run again in 2008?

Despite all of the above and the fact that Hillary has a lock on the DNC nomination thanks to Bill, this remains a valid question.

(snip)

Today, a better question might be, if Gore does run again, should he run under the Democrat Party banner that has stabbed him in the back a number of times over the years, or should he run under the banner that really says who he really is today, the Green Party candidate who could actually put the Green Party on the map?

Yes. Definately. As far from us as his legs will carry him.

Short answer...uh...no.

Its not SHOULD he, its CAN he.

Sorta like the Jurassic Park question. Do you allow nature to take its natural course, or do you introduce a Nobel Peace Prize predator during a period that makes it irrelevant?

Yes, he should.

Or, maybe we can just recount Florida again and award him four years for winning the Nobel. /sarc

Sure. Make the Hildebeast spend more of that largesse she has. Besides, what makes her sick is the fact that she & others in the WH tried 6 times to get ole Bubba the Nobel and they couldn’t pull it off before he left office.

Me too, and I'm deeply saddened. A Gore run would be like a trip to the circus.

Plus, all the fireworks between Gore and Hildabeast would be worth the popcorn.

I wonder how many Gore Acolytes there really are...

The press is so deceiving...

Would he really split the dumbocrat party vote? Not so sure.
