Mr. Gore has moved off the American political stage onto another, bigger one...far more important for the planet and a far better use of his skills and knowledge. He WILL be a factor in next year's election, but not as a candidate, but an advocate for change. He's far more valuable that way.


The American political stage is the biggest stage to enact the changes he wants to enact. He can be a celebrity and an advocate all he wants, but if he has no real power to implement policy change then his value to the cause isn't as great. The fact of the matter is that Al Gore has the popularity and the standing to run and win. If he chose to do that then he'd be far more valuable to the environmental movement by being a person in a position of power to actually influence laws in this country. Do we really believe that Hillary Clinton will be even a fraction as effective as Gore in this area? No chance. She's indebted to too many polluters.
