42. Maybe Al Gore will endorse Edwards?
It's just a hunch I have, that if Al Gore does not change his mind and jump into the race for 2008, then he might endorse John Edwards for President.

Here's what Al Gore said to Larry King on CNN back in May:

GORE on HILLARY
"She is running a very forceful campaign. She has earned the strong support of her constituents in New York."

GORE on OBAMA
"He is also running a very strong campaign. I think that he is appealing to a lot of people who like the sense that he's talking about issues in a fresh way. And, you know, he has a lot of support."

GORE on EDWARDS
"Likewise, running a strong campaign. Put out a lot of very thoughtful policy statements and positions. I think you can see the strength that he's gained from having been around the track last time."

Of the candidates currently in the race, I like Edwards the best.

Part of me wishes Al Gore or Wes Clark could be the nominee.

On the other hand, Wes Clark could serve as Secretary of State or Sec. of Defense.

I know there is a 10-year rule, but Congress can over-ride it.
