Salon: Draft Al Gore for president in 2016

With a presidential bid by Vice President Biden looking to happen for real soon, the magazine Salon posted on their website on July 17, 2015 stating that former Vice President Al Gore should run for president, because "Hillary's campaign is flailing, and Bernie Sanders is seen as "unelectable". Can you see Al Gore entering his hat in the ring, or will the Democratic Party establishment accept Biden, Gore, and Clinton running at the same time?

Its barely readable anymore. Just a constant barrage of nihilism and poutrage.

You may want to get with your candidate and have her correct some of the issues brought up, assuming you want to see her on the Ballot in the general election.

He hated getting back into "sellout" mode before when he considered running in 2008. I support him in that decision if he has to compromise himself and us to win.
