I almost posted another Al Gore might run article!

All I had to do was click Post Message; I was tantalizingly close. It was another someone-knows-a-friend-that-knows-a-friend-close-to-Gore piece that suggests Al is looking for the best time to announce his candidacy. Hint: after he wins the Nobel but before the trick or treaters come out...

But upon further review, I came to the difficult conclusion that said article was nothing but more unsubstantiated wishful thinking. This HOPE that won't go away is ever so slightly obsessive, but this time I decided to respect the wishes of Al and not presume a damn thing.

This was my first step in breaking free of the Will Al Run Syndrome. Though I promise DUers, someone else will find the article - it is DU after all.

peace~:)

1. I will further burst your bubble:

1) He will not win the Nobel Peace Prize
2) He will endorse Hillary

3. He has until October 23 to file in Michigan

If he doesn't announce before then, it's over. It is a very slim chance in any event.

8. I know

But many other deadlines come quickly after that date. And you need time and money to obtain signatures to file.

12. But Michigan's primary date is not technically legal

He could wait until before the next primary.
