30. I agree with everything you said minus one thing...
That being that Al will "jump in."

It matters not if the polls, stars, moon, and planets are all entire lined in his favor - if thousands of DUers beg him to run with eloquence and reason and justified passion. None of it means a damn thing unless Al wants to run.

He has not given even the slightest hint that the door is open for 2008; it IS open for down the road, but not in 08.

When can all this Gore hoping energy be used to make a REAL difference in 08? What about directing all this hope toward an alternative candidate to Hillary? What about hoping Al makes an endorsement of Edwards - that would upset the donkey cart.

I posted a thread 2 weeks ago asking the most determined Gore supporters when is the last or the last dates on the calender for him to enter. The first week in November was the consensus - too many missed filing dates beyond that. Minus a brokered convention (which I highly doubt Al would want) - the door will slam shut within two weeks for any mathematical chance for Al during the primary/caucus process.

Of course, I'd love it if I'm wrong and your right! :)
