how quiet it has gotten at this site. Does that mean all the interest in Gore has gone away. Quite the contrary; most of us are now at the Yahoo group site where we are continuing the plans begun here to move forward on trying to get Gore's name in the minds of the super delegates if, as appears likely, there is going to be a deadlocked convention. There are recent pertinent articles at the site, along with discussions of strategy and plans to start some preliminary letter writing to a few targeted super delegates now. Again, we are in no way trying to "steal" the nomination from either of the two candidates now in the primaries; our intent is to move forward with messages to lots of super delegates only if it appears that neither of the candidates will win the nomination on the first ballot at the convention. We anticipate there will be a number of super delegates (or delegates pledged to someone other than Clinton or Obama) to sit out the first ballot and thereby force at least a second ballot. That is the point at which Gore's name could be introduced as a unifying candidate. Come visit us: http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/DraftGore08/. We're a friendly bunch and the discussion is moderated so no nasty comments such as are often seen on DU threads.
