He spent his entire time as Bill Clinton's vice-president attending the coronation of the grand prince of Upper Bophuthatswana and other "important" events. He obviously didn't get enough when he lost the Florida re-count in 2000 (and if you don't think he lost, just ask the New York Times, CNN, the Washington Post and the University of Pennsylvania...who all did their own investigations and they all came to the same conclusion: Bush won the re-count.)
But now, Al Gore is getting all the love (and money) that he never could get before. Hollywood loves him, the DNC no longer looks at him as a loser, and he's moments away from being crowned "The Green Jesus."
So, will he risk losing all this love by running for President in '08?

Jeff S: Al Gore has a lot to lose if he runs. As soon as a man announces he is running, he has a big bulls eye painted on himself. Liberals even turned on Clinton when he was president.
As far as him being in no position of poweror influence...did you hear about this little concert thing he organized last weekend?
I don't obsess over Al Gore. I just think the man has found his meal ticket with Global Warming and is now milking it for all he can get...and he's getting a lot!

Jeff S.: I have no problem with making money. But Al Gore is making millions while encouraging other people to donate to the non-profits who are paying him 6 figures to give a speech. The man is making a killing, flying first class, and riding in limos while telling other people to sacrifice...it's hypocritical, genius!

He has no intentions or time to run. He does however now have the money. Another reason to call him "The Green Jesus". You are funny.

God I hope so. He won the popular vote once before and he is the one that can beat Hillary unless you want Bill Clinton in the whitehouse again Gore would be the best alternative. If he doesn't run it will be Hillary.
To Jeff, Gore is the one that scares Hillary so you know he scares the cons.

Why do people like you hate Al Gore so much and Why do people like you care so much about Al Gore's status or what he does now? Seriously, I really want to know... the man is not in any powerful position. He can't change policy or affect your income and what your children learn in school.
Questions look like you have a strange obsession... its really weird actually.
I don't care one way about Al Gore... I just don't care as much as you apparently about a guy you obviously hate (and he is such a strange selection to obsess about... you might need to talk to a professional about this obsession).

He better act soon if he does decide to run. With a lot of primaries being moved up he has less time to campaign to push more than just his "green" initiatives.
Risk what? Fame for trying to improve the country and our relations? Not to mention he would be a good pres for the enviroment. He has nothing to lose.

No, I really don't see him doing it. Hillary should make Al Gore her running mate(a brilliant move in my opinion) or another place in her cabinet if she wins
Hell, any democrat should hire him
