Kudos to the editorial staff of the University of Washington’s “Daily.” In yesterday’s paper, an editorial raised an interesting suggestion: How about Al Gore waits until 2012 to run for president, but on the Green Party ticket. Citing Gore quotes from the Time Magazine story, “The Last Temptation of Al Gore”, it is obvious, the editorial [ READ MORE ]
Fun stuff. Read about it in New York Magazine’s Daily Intelligencer from yesterday. Big ups to the 92nd Street YMCA. They always manage to get good speakers up there. If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed![ READ MORE ]
James Boyce, a Democratic party strategist and columnist for the Huffington Post, begged readers to send Al Gore letters urging him to run for president in 2008. If anything, I think, Gore should get a few interesting letters. Here’s Gore’s address, in case you want to join Boyce’s unofficial letter-writing campaign: The Honorable Al Gore 2100 West End Avenue Suite [ READ MORE ]
I found myself scratching my head yet again at another series of Al Gore quotes. On tonight’s “Nightline” (and in a story on ABC.com), Gore was quoted as saying that while he’s “not a candidate,” he may still run in 2008. “Look, we’re a year and half away from this election,” he said, “[I] see no need [ READ MORE ]
Laura Kurtzman of the Associated Press wrote a cool feature piece that was featured in newspapers and on Web sites all over the country today about Al Gore’s supporters in Silicon Valley. (Kurtzman, a great political writer works out of the AP’s Sacramento bureau.) She writes: He is one reason that enthusiasm and fundraising in [ READ MORE ]
It looks as if Al Gore is gaining even more support for a potential presidential run next year, even though he says he’s not running. CBS News reported today about DraftGore.com’s swelling membership numbers. The site claims membership of over 77,000 people. This, despite Gore’s repeated claims that he has no plans to run.

Even without an active campaign, former veep Al Gore is stealing the show. And perhaps even some write-in votes. According to a CNN.com report, projections have Gore stealing about 12 percent of votes in the Democratic Party primary. I’m actually a bit surprised. Although I’ve been waiting for him to throw his hat in the [ READ MORE ]
It seems that Al Gore’s backers in 2000 are holding out. No, I don’t mean they’re not giving me money. In a Washington Times article today, Christina Bellantoni reports that many of his former campaign contributors are withholding their dough until Gore throws his hat in the ring for 2008. The ones who aren’t holding back? [ READ MORE ]
The San Antonio Express-News reported several days ago that Al Gore is barring the media from covering his keynote address at the American Institute of Architects’ convention on Saturday. It’s fairly safe to assume that Gore will be discussing eco-friendly, or green, architecture. In a column yesterday on MySA.com, run in part by the Express-News, Gore is [ READ MORE ]
Former veep Al Gore canceled a gig as the keynote speaker at next week’s FMI Show Plus Marketechnics, according to an article in today’s Chicago Sun-Times. Why’d he go and do that? Gore cited personal reasons. I’m keeping my eye on this, although it’s probably nothing. If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my [ READ MORE ]
