Al Gore is running in '08.

[joeunderdog]

In his most recent interview, a long spot with Jon Stewart on TDS, Gore answered the question about whether or not he will run in '08 the way he ALWAYS does. "I have no plans to run in '08." Not a categorical denial by any stretch in the world of politics. But Stewart didn't challenge that--not like him at all. Almost as if they agreed in advance to let that answer stand.

Al Gore NEVER says no when that question is asked, at least I have not seen it. Saying that he is running for President would undermine the noble crusade he is waging on Climate Crisis, and voters are less defensive and more curious listening to him just talking about the issue than campaigning. His popularity has never been higher, he's lost weight, he's getting tremendous exposure on his movie/book, and he looks at ease in front of the camera. All indications point to his getting in the race.


Will somebody please, please send him a memo on the Lieberman running mate thing?
