49. Gore did say after NAFTA passed the biggest mistake that was made

Sun Oct 6, 2013, 09:29 PM

Oct 2013

was not setting labor standards. I am sure because of those remarks, he knows that was a major screw-up.

In 2004, the conservative Dems managed a campaign to stop him. I remember this well because I wrote about it here. I also believe he was ambivalent because he knew his wife was against another run and I think he did want to try and salvage that relationship.

I don't care if he has had a low profile for some time now. He is on top of a lot of issues that are extremely important, for instance, climate change and he served about 25 years in Congress and 8 years as Vice President. He is a heavy weight that could mount a legitimate challenge against absolutely anyone the Republicans run.

I do not believe he will throw his hat into the ring, but I would be thrilled if he did.
