8. Gore gets plenty of free media right now
including speculation that he might toss his hat in the ring. He'll get more as the release of his next book nears and afterward when he's doing book signings and when he gives interviews on it.

In addition, Gore will get media attention as the 7-7-07/SOS concert approaches and again as the Nobel Prizes are announced. He gets plenty of "free" publicity every week.
