When he began his career as a US Rep, and even in the first part of his Senater tenure, Albert Gore, Jr. did a fiarly good job of keeping touch with his fellow Tennesseans. Once in the White House as Clinton's VP, his head swelled so much, Tennesseans had him an embarrassing loss of his "home state" in 2000. Good riddance.

The Best chance for the Democratis in 08 GORE/EDWARDS GORE/BAHY GORE/DEAN GORE/CLARK GORE/VILSAK GORE/RICHARDSON

Gore has good ideas and stong convictions on environmental issues, but little else. With each passing year, he looks more and more like the reincarnation of Walter Mondale....

We could do worse. My main reservation is his electability because of his 2000 loss. Yes, he actually won the majority of the popular vote, but I think he will still have the "also-ran" reputation that will make him unpopular this time around.

Stop talking about the man, start talking about getting America off fossil fuels. If we would only vote for politicians to get us off oil, we will get off!

unfortunatly he wont run

I saw "AN INCONVIENTIENT TRUTH" last night. He is a lot more relaxed and confident. He might just have a "nothing to lose, let it all hang out attitude" that would work. You never know.

He is a great man with a better message then Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY.) If you voted for Bush in 2000, please vote for Al Gore in 2008.

Will the real Al Gore please stand up? After decades in public office, I am as confused as anyone about who this man really is, ideologically or otherwise. Is he a moderate, a liberal, a populist or "New Democrat"? A southerner or northeasterner? A genuine enviromentalist or mere window-dresser? And certainly I like others cannot forget, his own daughter convincing him to hire Ivy League feminist Naomi Wolf to teach him how to color-coordinate his campaign attire, and otherwise enlighten him about what to wear. Give me a break; this is about as politically calculated as Hillary Rodham Clinton, and like him or hate him I just can't envision his opposition (George W) ever doing the same.

It appears that Al Gore is gaining a lot of momentum. I'm not a big fan... he's become much more of a populist since we saw him with Clinton, and I just don't think that more big government is the answer.

I know there's a lot of time to go, but I don't think that Gore will be on a winning ticket for the dems.

Still one of the better candidates the dems can throw out there. He has been both in the legislative and executive branches for extended periods, so I think his experience would serve the us well.

Iwent through all websites and news from 1993 to till date(14-08-05). He is the strongest candidate for 2008.

I've met Al Gore. He's a robot.

One of the most thoughtful, creative and articulate out there, and he has finally managed to relax a little and be passionate at the same time. It would take a lot of work and a lot of organizing but it's not impossible.

Oh, for crying out loud, let this guy fade into anonymity already.

He lost against GW BUSH!!!! Enough said.

Why would anybody even consider him anymore?

Would make a great prez, however, he is unelectable. It's best to let him be more of a party cheerleader than a cantidate again. We keep comparing him to Nixon in the 60's, but lets not forget that Nixon had a little help along the way.

i'd rather he stay out of future elections and just remain a sort of motivational speaker and do things like moveon and other PACs, but at the same time it'd be kind of like undoing the past eight years and finally putting in the rightful winner of the 2000 election.

When it comes to applying for this job it would seem that once you're flushed you stay flushed. Besides, he's still a weiner.

Nixon left the White House in 1960 and made a political comeback 8 years later. If Tricky Dick can do it, why not Al Gore? Mr. Gore is smart, organized, good-looking, and trustworthy. He'll clean up the mess in Washington that Bush created.

Angry loser. Totally irrelevant except to himself.

As someone who usually (but not always) votes democrat- I have to say that Gore is one of the least-likeable candidates I can possibly remember.

I do not see Gore being able to win the nomination in 2008. I would rather have him over Hillary but that is not saying much. The democartic party will have to do much better than this if they have any hopes of winning the election.

I STILL THINK HE IS THE BEST MAN OUT THERE RIGHT NOW,ITS A SHAME HE GOT CHEATED OUT OF IT IN 2000 BY THOSE CROOKED BUSHES

Gore is a possibility, but in order for him to win, he has to run a fundamentally different campaign than he ran back in 2000. Bring in a different staff and establish a solid message that resonates from the onset of the campaign. He can't re-define himself in the middle of campaign season like he did last time around. He has good ideas, it's simply a question of marketing. Many people consider him damaged goods, but view it this way. Another former vice-president, Richard Nixon, was able to make a political comeback in 1968 at a time when the Republican party faced circumstances similar to that of the Democrats today. After his devastating loss in the California Gubernatorial race of 1962, he was seen as a has-been and a sore loser at that, yet he was able to emerge at the consensus candidate six years later. Many today refer to Gore in similar terms, but like Nixon, he has a strong base within the party. If he gets his political act together, Gore could grab the nomination as the compromise candidate for both the moderate and liberal wings of the party. However he does need to re-focus his message, which is what he should be doing during his time in the wilderness. He needs to travel the country and keep himself in the public eye. Gore has been somewhat erratic at times since 2001, but I guess that happens when you win the popular vote but lose the electoral college by three votes, and the pivotal state was lost by only 500 votes out of 5 million! That's tough. But still, this is a candidate who can be a top tier contender if he chose to run.

Nixon came back to win eight years after a close and questionable lose. The difference is Nixon didn't disgrace himself by fighting the '60 results.

Should be put in a lock box and put away. Sad, however, as he did win in 2000. I rate him a 1 for chances, but Al needs to stay engaged and build that liberal TV station.

ha...ha...HA!

I really think Al might run in '08, but his days are long gone.

A drip with zero charisma.Why re-run a loser?

He couldn't win before I don't think they'd try him again.

We know what Al Gore stands for and compared to John Kerry he is the life of the party. If he couldn't win in 2000 against George W. Bush don't look for him to win in 2008. However, Nixon lost in 1960 by a slim margin to John Kennedy and came back to win in 1968 and 1972. It could happen. As a Republican I wouldn't be frightened by Gore like I would with some of the other possibilities.
