Draft Gore Movement Hitting MSM

More on Gore

I wanted to post a few updates to my story on former VP Al Gore from today's print edition. The story outlined the strengthening "Draft Gore" movements despite the Democrat's seeming disinterest in mounting another White House bid.

A Democrat familiar with the inner workings of the 2000 campaign said former staffers and supporters have mixed feelings: "Some of them feel like he is probably getting too late to get anything together to make it a showing. Some think it's never too late."

In addition to the California and Iowa efforts detailed in the piece, Gore fans in Michigan are also pushing a signature drive to get him on the Jan. 15 ballot. They need 12,400 signatures by Oct. 23, but they also would need Gore to certify the petition. The group there cited an August Detroit News poll of 400 Democratic voters showing Mr. Gore would beat Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama there. Michigan is critical - the declared candidates pledged not to campaign there because the state is violating DNC rules on the primary calendar, but the election will take place regardless.
A Gore spokeswoman didn't respond to my inquiry about Michigan...

1. That's different. 10 recs and no comments. n/t

2. Interesting.

Thanks. On a personal note, if he decided to run, when would people learn of it in your estimation? We're rapidly running out of time.

3. I think this is very hopeful.

We can hold out just a little longer. NOBEL PEACE PRIZE is on the way, and then Albert will let us know. It's in the air, I can feel it.

:hi: :D

[helderheid]

12. Hey and I even got a response which of course I cannot read!

:rofl: I love it - so predictable!

[Kurovski]

18. The highlights: you're a "moonie lover" lovin' the "Moonie Times",

and now we "know" the Draft Gore movement is a Right Wing plot! :bounce:

I love RestoreGore, I don't care what the rest of you nutjobbers say about her. :-)

Is this kind of fun permissible?

[helderheid]

25. !!!

:spray: :rofl: Thanks for the highlights! I love her too! Even more so now that she is the artist formally known as RG!

10. Hi Moonie lover

Now I KNOW Rwers are part of this draft movement if people are happy this appeared in that rag. I suspect the ones who are working overtime to distract Mr. Gore from his mission now. It just doesn't make sense that REAL supporters who respect him would be so pushy.

[Kurovski]

24. I think it may mean that the Right Wing press is nervous about the possibility.

FOX apparently has also been spreading the word.

Nervous or "gearing up" for attacks? Can't really be sure what they're up to. Such a nasty business. I wish a real genius would come along and find a way to transform our system, find some way to side-step all the crap by dint of their true value, deep intelligence, sincerity and accomplishments.

If only we had such a man, and a plan. Oh, wherever can such a person be?

Maybe Canada?

[RestoreGore]

26. Bull. They are salivating for a Gore/ Clinton fight to distract from their own escapades

Seems some here are right with them based on the comments. And yes, it is a nasty business. One that truly good visionary men who aren't as shallow as that should avoid.

[Kurovski]

27. Could be. And that's a good take on it.

Gore will have to just avoid Hillary altogether when he runs. I bet we could get a concert together every two months or so as a counter-distraction that further focuses on the issues.

REALLY "rock the vote". Maybe the world of classical music would like to produce an event? Country? World?

And another movie would just plain knock FOX on its ass.

:kick: I'm holding my breath!

[RoccoR5955]

16. Very Good

I hope this gets more mileage.
I plan on petitioning for Gore to run in the Primaries in New York State. We need 15,000 signatures, 100 of which must come from half of NY's 29 congressional districts. This should be able to be accomplished quite easily.

[democrat2thecore]

17. I don't know

I'm still stuck between Obama, Edwards and Biden. Throw Gore in there and I'm really in a fix.

[peace frog]

19. Come on down!

With Gore in the race, there's really no contest.

[MisterP]

20. does anyone have Al's mailing address: I have to write him a letter

and can't find anything elsewhere.
Gotta get it to him before the Nobels are announced...
