I love Albert Gore ....

Edited on Sat Nov-11-06 06:12 PM by Trajan

I recently saw him at The Rose Garden, in Portland, Oregon.

At the end of His discussion of Global Warming, there was a Q&A period ...

One of the audience members told Al that he had started a website whose sole purpose was to convince Vice President Gore to again run for the highest office, and to collect donations for that cause ... That he knew Gore WOULD win .. again ... if he were to jump in the race ....

The audience, of course, erupted into loud applause, and Al, being his typical modest self, was so embarrased AND appreciative of the crowds approval .....

But then he got very serious : He said he was deeply moved by the sentiments, and that he understood how so many people want him to try again ... but: he was done with elective politics ....

Albert Gore wants NO part of an elective campaign, with all of the ugliness and stress .... He LIKES His life as it is now .... He is an advisor to great nations, he is deeply involved with those subjects which move him most ... the causes that motivate his soul ....

It was sad to hear it from his own lips, because I truly adore Albert Gore as a human being ....

But he was speaking truth .... Albert Gore will NOT run for President of the United States ....

Again : Albert Gore will NOT run for President of the United States ....

As much as I want him to run, I think I would rather he be happy in his place in the world ...

IF running made him happy, then by all means, he should, and he would get MY vote before any other candidate ...

But he wore his heart on his sleeve that evening in October ... and I believe him ...

Albert Gore will NOT run for President of the United States ....

Having said that : I bet he would be as awesome a Secretary Of State as he is a steward of the environment ....
