NJ activist seeks Gore convention delegates for 2008

This is an interesting approach. If this works (assuming Gore activists take this nationwide) Gore could be drafted next July in Denver. It is hard to see Gore turning down the nomination in that scenario.

That said, such a movement is unlikely to succeed but represents a plan B for Gore supporters if the Goracle does not run.

Assemblyman Reed Gusciora wants former Vice President Al Gore to be the next president. So he's launching a statewide grassroots movement to muster the necessary New Jersey delegates to put Gore's name in at the Democratic National Convention next summer.

Forget about a draft Al Gore movement now. It's too late, Gusciora contends. Gore supporters, says the veteran progressive legislator, need to organize and take their cause straight out of the February, 2008, Democratic primary to the convention in Denver.

Coming off a ceremony at Giants stadium last Friday at which Gov. Jon Corzine signed the Global Warming Response Act, which Gusciora co-wrote and which global warming guru Gore personally attended, the Assemblyman said he was pumped up to go statewide with his Go Gore message.

"I would like to try to find people who are interested," said Gusciora. "The American psyche has a way of correcting its mistakes. Gore's ideas were really criticized on global warming when he ran for president in 2000."==
