Al Gore?

I know wishful thinking, but I believe the convention would go nuts! (in a good way).

2. heh. would be nice, who could gripe over that choice?
has Gore come out and endorsed Obama yet?
sorry, I should remember but don't

I don't think he has, rght?
most likely he will be a big presence at the convention tho.

3. He did
It was a glorious speech too.

I want Obama to be the towering figure on the ticket.

Al Gore is too big for VP now. But Environment Czar or EPA director? A girl can dream.

7. thankyou. how could I have missed that?
you might be right about him being too big for vp.
There are a lot of other important posts where he can do valuable work.

Kinda nice that he's become the 'papa' of the party.

6. Yeah Gore is the SuperStar That would Guarantee a Win...But his Ego's too big
I still like Gore, but I don't think he's going to take being second in command again...

But, to answer your question, I'd be thrilled. I think you'd see a massive landslide.

8. I'd love it!
STill want Edwards, though, but maybe he would be better as AG, or just THE lawyer to have on hand to unravel any new election theft! OR< I'd be pleased with Richardson!

10. That would pretty much stop the energy snark from McCain
I would be surprised if Gore did it though. He's the only person I believe when he says he's not interested in the VP position.

However, I do wish he would jump into the energy battle right now. I'm interested in hearing his take on McCain's sudden offshore drilling boner.
