I think it tells you something about the Presidency if Gore doesn't run....

[trumad]

There was a day when most would do anything for the job. Not anymore.

[Breeze54]

1. I don't. I think he's been so successful with his global warming

initiative, his books, his movie and his Nobel Peace Prize that he
wants to keep riding that wave of success and pursue his true passion.
He's been more about global warming (30 yrs) than politics. I think he
thinks he can do more for the world as an advocate for change, that way
than anything he can get done in the office of the presidency.

[woodsprite]

2. Whoever gets in there is not going to have time to deal with

global warming. They're going to need to restore our Constitution and clean up the mess that dufus has left for them. Of course, that's assuming a Dem gets in. If a repub is selected this time, then it's just going to keep going down the crapper.

[Breeze54]

4. That's right and Gore said he wants to concentrate on GW

and educating the whole world about it. He won't be able to save
America from itself and accomplish all of his ideas at the same time.

7. Unless of course, he runs things totally

differently than any prez has before. We don't just need radical changes in the environment. Business as usual needs to cease and desist. Perhaps, the VP he chooses would have much more of a working position than ever before. There's so much to accomplish, I don't see why not!

[MADem]

3. I don't think so. I think it says more about Gore--where he is in this stage of his life, what his

priorities are, how he sees himself in relation to the nations here on the Big Blue Marble....

I don't think it says anything about the Presidency. It's one of those jobs that IS what the incumbent MAKES IT. Clinton made it one thing, so did JFK, LBJ, FDR, Truman, Ike...and Nixon, Reagan, Poppy, and NumbNutz made it something else altogether.

There's no inevitability there.

And there seem to be plenty of people in the primaries, so there are people vying for the job. The Democrats enjoy an embarrassment of riches in their candidates, the GOP suffer a paucity of fools.

[Uncle Joe]

5. I don't believe Al views the Presidency as the problem,

it's the ridiculous circus, the media create with the ultimate goal of manipulating American public opinion regardless of the facts or truth. You can't get your message out going the traditional route to the Presidency with the corporate media being so dysfunctional.

[kimmerspixelated]

8. Well then perhaps

CURRENT will become more readily available, hence, nipping that problem in the bud, at least a little!

[Uncle Joe]

10. I agree, between that and

the growing power and influence of the Internet, the trillion dollar question is can they grow fast enough?

[liberal N proud]

6. With the Nobel Prize Gore no longer needs to run

He has the clout globally that Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter enjoy. That is worth more than being President at this point in Al's life.

Also, I think that following the criminal who stole the office from him is not how he wants history to read.

[kimmerspixelated]

11. You may be right.

But I have posted before about the Law of Attraction and how you finally get what you desire after you quit "wanting" it. Because he may now view the presidency differently, it has suddenly become a deliverance from the UNIVERSE. Be happy with what you have, and your DESIRES come forth...this may very well be happening, still...he hasn't told DraftGore.com to go home yet...hence the door is STILL OPEN!

[mondo joe]

9. It's kind of like a public toilet. Bush got his shit all over the place. I feel sorry

for whoever sits in it next.

[kimmerspixelated]

12. Yes, but the gleam that comes from the cleanup

will be a sight to behold!

[BeHereNow]

13. It tells me he knows the game is rigged.

The corporacrats will select their
next puppet.
My guess is that Gore is fully aware of the
fact that they wont allow someone who does not
tow the line to be pResident.

[Tactical Progressive]

14. It says 'Time for a woman as President.'

Which Al Gore understands.

[BeHereNow]

16. This country will never elect Hil-Walmart-Clinton as pResident

Aint gonna happen.
Far more likely that we will get Guilliani.
Either way, we are "screwn."
BHN

[Tactical Progressive]

17. Hillary Clinton is the only person that will be elected President in 2008

Dem-Hating-Leftists should feel free to vote for Guiliani if they think they're screwed either way.

[BeHereNow]

18. Dream on.

While you can.
Clearly, you do not understand how the game is unfolding.
Name call all you want and by all means, bookmark this thread
and get back to me when all is said and done.

BHN

[Tactical Progressive]

20. Oh yeah, it's the Hillary-haters that understand the game

Those who understand the absolute least about politics are going to school us.

Let me get my note pad.

[KoKo]

15. Hillary is doing "most anything" for the job....but unfortunately

the "most anything" has been supporting the "one we have" we can't wait to get rid of.

So..your point is well noted...

[blues90]

19. It tells me two things

If he does not run then either he knows there is no political way to fix this mess bush and his thugs have created , or Gore has found his calling and wants to continue outside of the government to go on with his goals .
