Gore v. Clinton in 08?

Written by Dave Burdick

It seems like a lot of speculation about former veep Al Gore running for president Al Gore

in 2008 stems from recent press coverage of his various green endeavors -- particularly his global warming film, "An Inconvenient Truth."

Of course, if all it took to get elected were movies and press coverage, why any old movie star could -- say, wait a minute.

Anyway, the Wall Street Journal has a nice, easy piece on the ifs, ors and buts of a Gore campaign. Wouldn't it be something if Gore came back as the smart, forward-thinking environmentalist that he seems to be in the private sector?

At least Mr Gore is believable on this issue. i'd have a hard time believing Ms Clinton on anything. Al has been on this bandwagon for quite some time. good for him for standing for something.

I was sorry to see Gore not get the office. I was even sorrier to see him act like an alleged sore loser. I would love to see what he does when he finally get the office. I'm hoping against all odds that he runs for the Green Party. It would be a coup to have a party in the Oval Office other than a Republican or a Democrat. Sorry for the tangent.
