With all due respect to my fellow election observers, I don't think nearly enough attention is being paid to the plans and potentialities of former Vice President Al Gore.
Gore is a man who, less than seven years ago, won the votes of over half a million more Americans than the ultimate winner of the presidential election, George W. Bush. If Gore's votes had been a little differently distributed in the Electoral College, he would have become president and might currently be rounding out his second term.
But it didn't work out that way. Instead, Gore returned to private life, put on some extra weight and found a new, and highly popular, cause: the supposed dangers of global warming. In the last few years, Gore has moved into the leadership of the national and international crusade against this alleged menace, a highly popular cause, especially among the liberals and leftists who dominate the Democratic Party. This quest has enabled Gore to travel the globe in a seemingly nonpolitical campaign to save humanity from all sorts of perceived perils, which may very well win him a Nobel Prize later this year.
That's quite a comeback for a defeated presidential candidate. It makes him look like an indefatigable battler for the good of the whole human race. Even if he is wrong (and he probably is) about global warming, who can deny that he seems sincerely devoted to the best interests of mankind?

Yeah, don’t step in any gore.
Hitler thought mankind would thrive if the world was only Judenfried.
The key word here is "seems."
Communists always seem to be looking out for our best interest when in reality they are looking out for themselves and their comrades, usually at the expense of others.
May he run under the Green banner!
Until daddy takes the Prius away....
I can. Gore is a politician, thru and thru. He doesn't make a public step or a personal visit to the men's room without considering the political gain of the act.
There's a story about him during the recounts, standing in a room with his advisors. He drew a series of 4 circles one within another looking like a bulls eye. In the center he wrote ME, next out FAMILY, 3rd PARTY, and 4th NATION. And then he explained how to go about protesting the elections from the outside in, each layer to protect the next inner layer.
I can deny that he is sincerely devoted to the best interests of mankind.
It doesn't work to try to link to the printable page version on townhall articles.
He is wrong about anthropogenic global warming and the only thing he's sincerely devoted to is Al Gore!
No politican has ever won an elective office based on enviromentalism, at least as it relates to the House or Senate on the Federal level, to my knowledge.
Gore might enter the race, no surprise there.
But given the numerous gaffes since the 2000 election cycle he won’t gain anywhere near the support he did then.
He can run, but he’ll never come close to winning again.
WTF wrote this drivel?? EVERYONE can. and most do.
Muahahahaha!
Should read: Gore continues to be a con man, more interested in fleecing idiots for his personal gain than planet Earth and its inhabitants.
He honestly thinks he is the best thing for Mankind.
His lack of charitable donations while VP wasn't a smart political decision.
Algore is a filthy communist swine.
“who can deny that he seems sincerely devoted to the best interests of mankind?”
Funny how those interests of mankind coincide with the interests of his pocketbook.
