We're Counting on You, Al!

PLEASE Mr. Gore, save the world by starting with America. Only you can do it, you know it, we know it, the world knows it. Do it for the people of the world, it all begins here.

Al Gore should definately run for president. And he should change the system at the same time. I'd like to see him not only run as an individual, but pick out a whole cabinet and with it a whole vision of change. Sure an Edwards or an Obama would be an obvious choice for vice which, if garnered in advance (an either would be foolish not accept such an offer), would instantly unite the anti-Billary contingency. But why not get commitments from a few of the best and (among the thinking) most respected individuals for other cabinet posts. An administration is more than an individual. By naming the cast of characters, it would present a picture of the change to come. With all those individuals talking to the media, it would instantly tranform the dialogue. It would basically take the wind out of the sails of every other campaign.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

As said by Teddy Roosevelt when he decided on another run for the White House.
