Democratic Underground - Is Al Gore "running"?

Al Gore has given the same calculated response (in various versions)to the question of whether he will "run for President"...

"I have no plans to be a candidate for president again, I don't expect to ever be a candidate for president again. I haven't made a so-called Sherman statement because it just seems unnecessary, kind of odd to do that." -Al Gore, appearing on This Week

So that's it, right? He says he's not running, right?

...an acknowledgement that the answer has never been a clear yes or no, but a tightrope act with which we are all too familiar. And yet, it is tantalizing. Who knew Al Gore was such a great tease? The worse the world gets, the more we want to know his political ambitions... and the less he will tell us.

Are we to believe that a man who has spent most of his life in public office, like his father before him, is happy to turn away at the very moment the country -- nay, the world -- is clamoring for him to step into the breach?

Are we to believe that such a man is perfectly content to walk away from the table, with his last campaign forever emblazoned in textbooks as the biggest miscarriage of justice in electoral history?

Are we to believe that this man, with his Oscar nominated documentary, his Time magazine cover, his # 1 Bestselling book, his tv network, and, oh yeah, a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize nomination, would rather not rule the most powerful nation on earth?

So, is Al running?

If you ask me, I say YES!!! "I mean, please. Let's get real. Of course he's running."
:woohoo:
