Gore/Obama in '08?
They See Al Gore by a Nose in 2008

Is Al Gore coming back? If allies we talked to have their way, the former veep will be the next president. "It's Gore Time," says a political strategist and fundraiser who is opening a bid to get Gore into the race. Gore friends see his recent political and business moves as proof he's preparing to run. Allies say that in speeches, Gore has found his voice to address domestic and world issues. And in raising money for his Current TV network, which targets the critical youth market, Big Al has built an issue base and donor network that's competitive with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's. Our source--a top aide in the previous Bush administration--is planning meetings with Gore's team to push an early entry while Clinton runs for re-election in New York. It doesn't end there: The Gorebots want him to pick Sen. Barack Obama, the youthful Illinois African-American, as his No. 2.

1. I would love to see Gore run.
But I'm not sold on Obama as a running mate. Loved his speech at the convention and loved watching his campaign, but I don't think he's lived up to his promise as an outspoken and articulate voice of the left.

I'm not sure who I would pick as Gore's running mate, but if the ticket won, I would LOVE to see Wesley Clark as Secretary of State.

2. I would love to see Wes Clark as president.
And I'm a Tennessean who's first political crush was Al Gore.

5. I'm confident that Gore would run a great campaign and if the
voting machine problems get cleared up, he'd win. Obama is a good speaker but has taken a number of milk toast positions that bother me.
