According to an article in today’s Sunday Telegraph, Tim Shipman reported that some of Mr. Gore’s former strategists have started to handpick a “shadow team that could run his campaign at short notice.”

Operation Gore Watch

The Sunday Telegraph reports Al Gore may throw his hat in the ring for the U.S. presidency

The former veep, fresh off an Academy Award for his documentary “An Inconvenient Truth”, could seriously be mulling a bid in his head. And why not?

According to Shipman, one of Gore’s former staffers said: “I was asked whether I would be available towards the end of the year if I am needed. They know he has not ruled out running and if he decides to jump in, he will have to move very fast…He hasn’t asked them to do this, but nor has he told them not to.”

Now, this may or may not be true, but if Hillary Clinton wins the Dems’ nomination, could she win? Perhaps the Democratic party doesn’t think so.

(P.S. - I love getting the best American political coverage from British news sources.)
