Global warming should be the top priority issue of the 2008 Presidential campaign, so that there will be a mandate for major policy changes in the next Congress. The candidates announced so far are not taking global warming seriously. I have concluded that Al Gore must run for President, with global warming solutions as his top priority, so that he can lead the USA to make the necessary changes.Global warming should be the top priority issue of the 2008 Presidential campaign, so... more

Hillary is *not* inevitable if Al steps into the race. A new CBS Poll shows that there is no significant difference in support for Gore versus Clinton among Democratic primary voters (even though CBS has given their poll results a different spin).
Keep in mind that in the CBS Poll, 456 interviews were conducted with Democratic primary voters. The margin of error for this subgroup is plus or minus 5 percentage points.
"When former Vice President Al Gore, who has not entered the race, is added as a choice for the Democratic nomination, he emerges as a serious contender. Gore garners support of 32 percent of Democratic primary voters, while Clinton gets 37 percent, Obama 16 percent, and Edwards 7 percent."!
Given that the MOE is 5% and Gore and Clinton differ by only 5%, then this poll does not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in support for Gore v. Clinton.
IMO, if he declared his candidacy, his numbers would rise drawing voters from Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. Why? If he declares now or early next year, then his views on all issues - climate crisis, war, health care, etcetera - would get exposure and he would attract more voters. Right now most people aren't aware of his views. Also, if he declared his candidacy and announced up front that Obama or Edwards would be his VP - his ratings would rise dramatically.
Meanwhile over at DraftGore.com the number of signatures is nearing 220,000

And over at Democracy for America Gore has captured over 27% of the votes as a write-in candidate - go vote for Al !

We were told that he has the energy and the will. Has he ever heard of "Service to his Country"? I have followed and backed Al Gore from the beginning! I have hoped and prayed he would run again for President! Sure he is doing well now, 3 new books, and head of an investment firm and a TV station, but.....these are but diversions for him from his duty as a candidate for President. I wonder why? Is it because he was given a raw deal? All of us have experienced injustice. We sacrifice and hope for the best. We do what's right and we wait. If Al Gore really wants to make a difference, he should get off the sidelines and run. Not for himself, and not for attention or glory. He should, in my opinion, do that which may not bring him as much glory as he has received for himself, but might benefit his Country. He gives fine speeches. What else has he got for his Country, I wonder?We were told that he has the energy and the will. Has he ever heard of "Service... more

How informal can this medium be?
Here in Upstate New York we feel we could do better than out Junior Senator as a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for President. Your 3 videos show why. So, here in one take is my first go at this new medium. You already have my 2 cents, now you have me on my 15 year olds imac!
