Hung

I believe in Al Gore/I think he has the credentials to do what he does..he has a day-to-day affair and it wrestles with him and he just looks forward to being successful..
I have been reading news magazines for many years(20),,and science has always been a favorite..in Jr. High School we had one Library day where you spent one period in the Library..I would read magazines..I think this Global Warming project that Al Gore is pushing into the light does have its Fact/Figures..I just think that some things have been "loaded" onto the Global Warming process in nature..my intention is to say "manipulation"..of the science..about:Global Warming..
I don't think we should allow for the slow process to proceed the question about Global Warming or we do become "culprits"..we need a faster course to evaluate the realness of the situation of a very large Globe..instead we just ramble on about how busy this economy is..I think that in the push to save the planet..we have some design built into our blood..that its a place to decide the "other things"..maybe our "foot-dragging" has developed as planned..into "other things".

Al Gore lost (in the Electoral College) while the sitting VP of a very popular President. The interest in having him run seems to me a real indictment on the Dems who have already thrown their hats in the ring.

On his blog on Friday, your colleague Ned Potter summarized Jimmy Carter's support for Al Gore if the latter were to run for president. As I commented on Ned's blog, "With his prestige at a higher point than when he served as VP, Mr. Gore certainly has nothing to prove to himself or to anyone else. But if he ran in 2008, he'd be the person I'd vote for without any misgivings!"

Mr. Gore's performance at last night's ceremonies was stellar, causing me to wonder (once again) where this country would now be if he were President.

I caught the skit, and it was perfect. He's definately got the geek-cool thing going on.

What I haven't seen is the documentary, and now my interest is piqued more than ever. Good for Gore for bringing hardcore environmental science into the mainstream. What an important contribution he's made. History will judge him well, especially after his prescient comments about Iraq.

As for his political prospects, I don't see it. In the campaign context, that geek chic morphs into something like geek denial. He tries unsuccessfully to dumb himself down and ends up sounding alternatively confusing and patronizing. And wooden because he's being fake. Perfect example: the "fuzzy math" exchange. Gore had the facts on his side, but he couldn't win the debate point. When he explained social security in geekspeak, no one got it. When he dumbed it down, put it in a LOCKBOX, it seemed just that: dumbed down. He couldn't win. Even when he won, he couldn't win.

I honestly don't know what Al Gore is thinking if he doesn't run in 2008. On another note, has there ever been a "losing" presidential candidate this popular six years later, almost to the level that people, albeit "Hollywood-types," are begging him to run?

I think that it's awesome that Gore's movie won!!!

We would all be...the world would be in a better place if Gore was president now and I would vote for him over Hillary if he ran in 2008. I hope people that voted for Bush, especially those who voted for him a second time, feel really bad about what’s happened.

But I do not understand why Gore is talking about William Hung. That is not very nice.
