6. About that poll

That asked "Want to see Gore run in 2008?", the number showed 51% Yes and 47% No.

9. There was a post this past weekend

that asked how many DUers would be for Gore if he ran. There were 393 responses, and I'd guesstimate about 350 original responses that were very pro Gore. Pretty impressive, I thought.

These are five things all of us can buy to solve our climate problem:

1) Compact fluorescent light bulbs: These energy-efficient bulbs cost less than $4 and are produced by major corporations like GE. If every household in America switched five regular light bulbs for five fluorescent bulbs, it would be the equivalent of taking 1 million cars off the highways for a full year.

2) Outdoor solar lighting: These yard or patio lights cost less than $20, and they don't burn any electricity or produce any CO2.

3) Programmable thermostats: Though these thermostats cost from $50 to $100, they can actually cut your heating and cooling costs. Set the setting so it's a little bit cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer when you're not in the house. A difference of 2 degrees can reduce a home's CO2 emissions by up to 9 percent over the course of a year.

4) Air filters: Changing the air filters in your heating and cooling systems regularly can knock 2 percent off of your CO2 output each year.

5) Electric hot water heater blanket: Hot water heaters use a lot of energy and generate a lot of CO2. A blanket costs less than $18 and can cut your home's CO2 emissions by almost 4 1/2 percent.

13. My Dream ticket would be Gore Feingold or Kucinich

14. If we can get Gore . there is a whole new ticket

We know the Clinton made a mistake before. No one askedd for that.

Simple. If we could get Gore's brain (and he favors stem cell . we call that "progressive") .
What a world we could have .

He has no loyalty to Toni. Nada. Not the same 'blood' as George.

Hillary smacks of the same ole . just tried too hard. But not good enough.

If there is anyway! . ANYWAY . to get Gore to kick butt w/o the downer of the Clinton legacy .


We just might . for once in my lifetime (other than Truaman) . have a true American Statesman.

Nixon flunked. Carter . flunked. no way for us to make a living. Regan? Flunked. Ghwb? Flunk. Gw? Flunk with flying colors, plus pay off his friends and kill.

Is it time for us to win?
