Teasers: Gore, Thompson, Bloomberg, Hagel

...

That leaves us Al Gore who, if he is teasing, is doing a masterful job. It's either the best 'non-campaign' ever or he really doesn't want to run. Unless. Unless he sees the current Democratic front-runners as not able to win. Certainly all three have handicaps. If I were on the other side I could run effective (negative) campaigns against the current leading Dems and I think Gore knows that. He may not want in but he knows full well that with a Republican in the White House, the stalemate and partisanship, not to mention the endless war will be the order of the day. Climate change won't be on the agenda. Bottom line, I won't be shocked if Gore gets in this fall and I'll put $10 on the table to back it up.

3. Climate change isn't going
to jump onto the agenda with the candidates who actually stand a chance of winning the primary. And of those candidates I feel one is sure to hand the republicans the white house.

4. Agreed.
I hope he announces sooner rather than later. This waiting is excruciating.

7. Absolutely
You should push it back until at least after October 12.

My deadline is Halloween. After that I start freaking out.

8. Keep reminding yourself
that Bill Clinton did not enter the race until October 3, 1991 and that he was far less known that Al then.
