Crazy Question About Al Gore

He has stated that he never intends to run for President again. But how about Vice-President? I know it sounds bizarre, but what if he could become VP a second time, and spend his efforts on solving the global warming & environment problems. He would be able to make that his cornerstone position, but still being more than capable of filling the role of President, should he need to at some point.

I realize some may look at it as him taking a step backwards, but if it's that or nothing at all, I think he can still make an impact if he's somehow involved in hopefully a Democratic victory in '08.

2. I'm not convinced he won't run because he has said, "I can see............

......"no conditions under which I would run." Well, from my way of thinking anyway, that's a nice way of saying things could easily change. I know, I know, I might be dreaming but considering the effing nightmare I'm living now please allow me my dream.

5. He's just waiting for the "recruit Gore" grassroots campaign to kick in

And it will, in time.

He's smart to wait, because the free MSM buzz is all good.

8. In addition to he has

never made such a statement as:

"he never intends to run for President again".

I'll add SHOW ME...

I can only see this as disinformation. Gore is running and he will be drafted by the democratic wing of the democratic party. In rainbow we say, "Ignore all rumors of cancellation".

The next great revolution in the world will be fought in the United States and not in some third world country and will not be in the streets but will be in the booth. It will change us and the world.

The very rescue of that booth and the rescue of the all important fourth estate will be in view shortly. Stand by...

3. If he's not willing to run for president, I doubt he would want to be #2

again.

4. i doubt he will run for either, a campaign is time consuming

And would detract from his life mission of educating people on Global Warming.

6. Sane answer

Or maybe insane. He says he's not planning on running. But if he's asked nicely, at the right time, he may run. With that out of the way, I personally don't see that as VP he would be in any better a position to concentrate on global warming than he is right now. After all, now he can be apolitical about it.

On edit: typo.
