2. I signed the petition last year
so I'm on board.

I think Gore is waiting to see how the candidates treat the Globabl climate change issue and then will decide.

also he saves money and energy by not engaging the front runners early, he can also critque how they are missing the big picture the longer he waits.

Some suggested he can wait till the summer or fall, I doubt that. I'm antsy and am watching Edwards the closest.
He can certainly wait and to his benefit. He could also win without spending nearly as much money as the others. I suspect he envisions, with his huge public persona and name recognition, he can steamroll what's become a insane and corrupting explosion of money into presidential politics. The 2008 presidential race may cost upwards of $1billion dollars a 10 (TEN) fold increase of what was spent when he ran in 2000.
Is it abouting electing the best person with the best ideas for the job or who can raise and spend the most and blur the truth enough to win?
