Reply #5: wish he'd change his mind but I understand why he's not "pondering it"

What we need are a lot of Gore clones, one focused on each issue that's eating us alive. We've got the original Gore working on global warming (phrase "climate change" is too vague, let's call it what it really is!). We need a Gore for the economic disasters we're having like the housing bubble, a Gore for education, a Gore for foreign policy, a Gore for military reform, a Gore for civil and constitutional rights enforcement, a Gore for research and development, and .... what else? I know that's more but my brain is too fried to think of them.

IT's amazing how one incredibly smart credible compelling human being can be such a powerful force for change. Gore is blazing a path for a new kind of public service, one that rises above politics to directly inspire and empower people. If Clark does not run for president, I can see him take on a similar role for military reform and foreign policy.
