Comments on: Draft Gore http://penndems.org/archives/64 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:33:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Joe G http://penndems.org/archives/64#comment-58 Joe G Mon, 22 Oct 2007 19:52:01 +0000 http://blog.penndems.org/archives/64#comment-58 I would love to see him run but i don't think it will happen. That being said, his endorsement could still be pretty key. Once the primary is over look for a heavy dose of Gore on the campaign trail. I would love to see him run but i don’t think it will happen.

Although I think he would have a decent shot if he jumped in (there would be plenty of grassroots support), his popularity - along with ability to continue to push awareness about climate change - would have nowhere to go but down if he ran for president. I would love to see him run - he would be my first choice in an instant - but I don't think it'll happen. Personally, I don’t see Gore running at this point.

With his acquisition of the Peace Prize, his calling will finally start to gain heavy mainstream legitimacy. While being the President of the United States is admittedly a big deal, Gore at this point is above politics, and the environmental cause in the long run seems to be more important to him than winning a Presidential election. The worst possible thing Gore can elect to do at this juncture in his career is to give up an honored global position in favor of local political ambition. While I obviously don't know Vice-President Gore nor his personal ambitions, I feel the last thing he wants to accomplish after years of pushing his environmental agenda to the world is to politicize it.

For me personally, although I like where they stand on most things, none of the current candidates does anything to get me particularly excited about them. Al Gore would do that. I say if he did it once, he can do it again. Nixon '68 = Gore '08. -Thad Kirk, C'10 Amen.

Iraq, global warming, health care...he's been so prescient on all the major issues our nation and world faces. We can only hope he heeds the call.
