Gore Daughter: '08 Run Not Happening
Email
ShareJuly 21, 2007 1:07 PM
ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: During a Friday book signing in Washington, D.C., one of former Vice President Gore's daughters seemed to go further than her father in saying that a 2008 White House run was not going to happen.
"He's really not going to get in the race," said Kristin Gore when asked if she has any special insight into her father's political plans. "He's really liberated working on things he cares about."
The former vice president regularly says that he has "no plans to be a candidate for president." But by stopping short of a "so-called Sherman statement," completely ruling out a presidential run, speculation has continued to surround the future plans of the man who won the 2000 popular vote for president.
Kristin Gore was at Politics and Prose bookstore to discuss her recently published second novel. "Sammy's House," in the words of the book's promotional literature, is about a "courageous and klutzy heroine" who works as a health-care adviser to a newly elected administration.

I don't need a PHD in Climatology to know that Al Gore is a snake oil salesman, bar none...
But if you DO want hear about Climatology, why not ask the man who (REALLY) invented the science..
HE says that the theory of Human Caused Global Warming is a bunch of crap...

Al Gore is mentally unstable, and a fraud. He has no charisma, no personallity, and no intelligence. His main agenda is to apply political pressure on giant companys to force them to "invest" in his company. He is a criminal. GORE2008 he is a perfect candidate to run for the Socialist Democrat Party.

guess he didn't care about the country while he was vp, considering his liberation!

Al Gore will say anything for a few bucks....like he invented the internet. And now he has come up with the solution to Global warming. He has to be the smartest person on this planet, oh wait a minute. He comes first after Hillary. Barf, Barf.

j brew,
You are absolutely correct. I recommend everyone to read "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness", by Lyle Rossiter. You will find that a lot of liberal politicians are in there. They're SICK!

Run Al, run! It will take about another year for all the "man-made warming" kooks to be discredited. With Al as the Dem's standard bearer he can drag them all into the dumper with him. When will they get past this rightousness that leads them to believe they have any sway over how the Earth behaves. Next thing you know, they'll tell us they can spin Earth backwards and return us to the scandal filled glory days of Bill Clinton.

Al has been full of hate and bitterness since the presidency was "stolen" from him. At least the global warming scam is giving him a chance to have a legacy. He is playing it for all its worth (the sky is falling!!). Too bad he will be proven a fool in the long run. Maybe he can run in 2012 after Hillary crashes and burns and he has saved the planet. LOL

Al Gore is a senior statesmen of the democratic party, (ahem) so I can see the intrest in getting him to run again. But why stop with just Al? All the senior statesmen from McGover, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, they should all get in the race, now that would be fun!~ And besides, why not Teddy too?
Posted by: neil | Jul 21, 2007 4:19:33 PM
AL couldn't win the White House even if he was the only one running for it. He'd find away of screwing it up again and he knows that. He's having a time of it soaking the mindless with his sun tan movie.

It's amazing how Al Gore and John Kerry both chose running mates that were smarter than they were. Come to think of it I guess Chaney is smarter than W. as well. This trend may force "the smartest women alive" to run in the VP spot with Obama.

Godspeed Al Gore. I didn't vote for you in 2000 but wish that I did.
Now I can free to vote for someone else. I am leaning towards Rudy.

Gore is the village idiot.....and Hillary is just plain evil. Vote Republican !
Posted by: JT | Jul 21, 2007 4:43:04 PM
Why are americans always so hateful when they speak? Why is debate out and insults in? And you global warming deniers - how bad would it be for everyone if we polluted less? Would the world plummet into depression if we found cleaner ways to live?
Too bad.

Anyone truly interested in the truth about global warming should do themselves a favor and watch the BBC documentery "the great global warming swindle" I guarantee you will find yourself slapping your forhead in revelation.
Posted by: scott Royer | Jul 21, 2007 4:56:23 PM
Boy - there sure are a lot of folks out there obsessed with Gore's "mental instability"! If you read the posts, you begin to discern a pattern that reveals just what political leanings a mentally unstable person might hold.
We don't need to say anything more -- they've exhibited their own tendencies.
As for Gore running -- probably he won't.
Posted by: Susan | Jul 21, 2007 4:57:04 PM
The Great Global Warming Swindles has already been shown to be scientifically inaccurate, with many of the experts interviewed releasing statements that they were manipulated by Channel 4 and taken out of context. Look it up. Read it and watch the scientific rebuttal.
Royer? How do you benefit by denying global warming? Are you a scientist? What contribution to this debate can you bring, other than making a comment on a news site?
Posted by: Jesse | Jul 21, 2007 5:03:08 PM
Al Gore is a huge fraud and a criminal. Global warming is a huge hoax. I will never drive a hybrid car and I laugh at those who do. Global warming is an effort to control our American way of life, which is not something I will ever tolerate.
Wake up, America: Al Gore is just another tyrant like Hugo Chavez.
Posted by: Michael G | Jul 21, 2007 5:07:26 PM
RUN AL RUN!! Please oh PULEEEEEZE run.
It would be so delicious to see the left eat their own batch of looney incompetents.
