Former U.S. vice president cited for environmental campaigning


Great to hear, Al Gore has definately stepped up after being Vice President. Great man actually working to save our enviorment.

Another Update:

Al Gore having pressure on Running in '08.

Wow, somebody I would have more confidence in, he IMO would be a great president and is generally a very good person.

Even though he probably will NOT run for president, it's still fun to analyze and perdict different outcomes.

Here's some notes once again, from CNN.

Story Highlights

One Gore confidant says former VP doesn't want to battle Sen. Hillary Clinton

I don't really know alot about Gore but I would vote for him over Hillary or Obama... if either of those two get elected their would probably be another fuckin civil war or something.

[HandOfHeaven]

I think that's odd that they'd split the prize between him and a panel, but it does make sense. Good job, Gore.

[Willkillforfood]

Gore should have ran and he would have probably gotten the nomination and won after all his work.

[D3V]

It still isn't out of the question, there are a few websites floating around trying to get him to go into the running. Him with Obama as vice president would be ideal for me.

Stephen Colbert mentioned running last night on Larry King. I bet he will.

[D3V]

Sounds like a joke to me... I'd rather have Jon Stewart anyways.

[Willkillforfood]

I don't believe it was a joke. He was pretty serious when he talked about it and he discusssed it in his "real identity" with Larry King. He said he'd like to start and see what his support would be in his home state of south carolina.

[D3V]

Well i'm all for it, nobody else seems to be making any sort of push, I'm not doubting his intelligence, but then again it hasn't worked for Obama, clearly he is much more intelligent than Clinton, and yet she still seems to be ahead in most of the polls floating around.

[Willkillforfood]

I wouldn't say he's clearly much more intelligent than her, honestly.

[Grav]

He is full of himself and she is ruthless. Neither is a great choice IMO.

Wrong.
