Comments on Salon.com:
Gore in 2008?
Time’s Eric Pooley checks in on Al Gore’s new book and takes his temperature on the possibility of a White House run in 2008.
The short version:
Pooley says Gore just might be the “perfect stealth candidate,” one with Barack Obama’s “grass-roots appeal” and Hillary Clinton’s “operational toughness”; Tipper Gore says her husband is “not doing it,” but that she’d be “with him” if he did; and Gore himself says that he’s “fallen out of love with politics” and that it would take “a lot” to “disabuse” him of the idea that his “highest and best use” is his work on global warming.
A lot? Like what?
“I can’t say because I’m not looking for it,” Gore tells Pooley. “But I guess I would know it if I saw it. I haven’t ruled it out. But I don’t think it’s likely to happen.”
I’d love Gore to run – but surely he’s a tad overpriced?
He’s never explicitly ruled it out but comments in his interviews suggest he is not interested in running right now.
Who is the rogue trader placing a wager that Al Gore will run at this late stage? Possibly as an independent, but highly unlikely…
Seems like Ivan Boesky and Mike Milken have taken control of this market…
Once bitten, and still not shy enough to rule it out, there are fairly strong rumours circulating that Albert Arnold “Al” Gore Jr. will try and secure the Democrat nomination for President once again. Any announcement is probably a long way off, but Gore-watchers should watch for clues in his regular speeches, interviews, and other media appearances.
He invented the internet, you know.
