The Incredible Vision of the Man Who Should be President...
The World According to Gore: by Bill Katovsky


"handy and insightful overview of everything Gore-ish. Neatly organized into various topics: climate crisis; the 2000 Presidential race; Hollywood; technology; the media; George Bush's Reign of Lies, Terror, and Fear; Running for President Again; and others. Very readable, very lively, very engaging, and not at all ponderous or preachy. Editor Katovsky's introduction gets to the heart of the matter: Here's a guy, Gore, who won the popular vote in 2000; and but for the Supreme Court's dubious intervention, we would now have a different leader in office. Oh, what might have been! Gore has evolved since that debacle, and we gain a sense of his unofficial statesman-like influence on American political culture--in fact, most of the quotes post-date 2000 and are very up-to-date. The book is extremely timely right now: lots of folks have been mobilizing into a "draft Gore" movement. Even if that movement ultimately fails, this book will stand as a lasting testimony to the road not taken. That's not necessarily a reason for despair but, rather, an occasion to see that the march of history is not pre-scripted or written in stone."

1. You know I voted for the first time in my life back in 2000 and it was for Gore.
I used to think that in some ways I was bad luck, I was so dissapointed when they stole that election, I failed then to believe I was the only one to take the time to ensure bush not get in the white house, I am not proud of the fact that I had never voted but once having voted I will never give up that right again regardless of those believing voting does not matter.

2. And now you'll have a chance to vote for him again!
And this time, it will NOT be stolen from him.
