Reply #19: And he did all those things while out of office

[incapsulated]

And didn't need to appeal to the majority of people or special interest groups or local politics so they would vote for him or support his campaign.

Look at his career in the Senate and as a Vice President, that is Al Gore, politician and not Al Gore, private citizen. And he would become a politician again the moment he announced he was running. He can't win on the liberal internet vote.

Sure, he could run on everything he has said and done as a private citizen. It would also severely marginalize him because most people are not breathless Gore fans who love him because of his environmental work or his anti-war speeches or his book. And they will remember the Al Gore of 2000, that is going to be were he starts for most people.
