6. i saw that but it doesn't say he'll be there, it's the same on the GOP side with

Thompson and Gingrich.

9. Thanks for that link ..... I was just looking at CNN's site and couldn't find it

This makes me wonder ......

I'm glad President Gore is participating.

Do you recall a few months ago, in a series of speeches by 'the candidates' (in, I think, Arizona), Wesley Clark participated ... and was also listed as 'undeclared'?

I would be VERY happy to see either Gore or Clark jump in .... preferably both of them!

17. The CNN pics show Dems who've gained some measure of name recognition...

Click through these images to learn more about the Democrats and Republicans who've gained some measure of name recognition.

It is not clear to me - at all - that the people shown will all be in the debate today.

:shrug:

3. I don't believe it. CNN is talking about the debate right now, and said NOTHING about Gore

[AtomicKitten]

4. oh yeah

I don't know whether or not this is true, but my heart skipped a beat.

Hi TC!!! :)

[Totally Committed]

10. I hope it's true!

Wouldn't that be amazing? They should get Wes to do it, too, if this is for real!

Hi, AK! :-)

11. I wish!

But so far nothing on CNN (cable).

[Totally Committed]

12. Go take a look at the article in kpete's OP at the link in my OP... LOL!

A newspaper from San Diego says it's true. I dunno. I have to go to my granddaughter's Chamber Music concert now. I can't wait to see if this is for real when I get back!

[Cameron27]

13. I did..

the second I saw the link lol. I'm going to keep watching for awhile and see if the story breaks. Wouldn't that be something!

[xchrom]

14. fingers crossed.

[Cameron27]

15. Wolfie just said "all 8 of them"

no Gore I guess. :-(

[AlCzervik]

16. i just emailed the newspaper asking for clarification, i'll post if i get a response.

[Adelante]

18. I don't think it's true

Those pictures are always there revolving. I've seen it before this.

[RestoreGore]

19. I think someone made a mistake

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/06/02/nh.debates/index.html

This article lists only the eight candidates appearing, and says nothing about Mr. Gore. And why would he do that after just stating he is not good at modern politics and is in the middle of a book tour where he stated the book was not written as a campaign book? I really think people need to check these kinds of things out before they post them. If he were to ever show up at this now I would be very very surprised.

[AlCzervik]

21. was it a mistake? I think it was laziness.

[RestoreGore]

22. Yes...

It looks as though they went on CNN's 2008 page and saw his picture there as one of thsoe being included in their polls, and assumed without checking that he was going there tonight.

[AlCzervik]

23. how hard would that be for a fact checker confirm? Not hard i suspect.

[RestoreGore]

25. No, not hard at all. Perhaps it was deliberate. Who knows? n/t

[joshcryer]

20. I guess he's serious about climate change. :)

[welshTerrier2]

24. I'm skeptical about the story

it appears the San Diego paper screwed up but I hope I'm wrong.

[AlCzervik]

26. at that link in the op someone just confirmed via Kos who talked to cnn that Gore Will

not-i repeat not be there tonight.

[RestoreGore]

I kind of figured that.

[AlCzervik]

29. yup me too, it was kind of exciting though for the few minutes i thought he would be there.

[RestoreGore]

30. It would be for me only if he were there to set them straight, not to be a part of it

He's in a class all ny himself. ;-). Interesting to me though how people can take what is in newspapers as truth. Good illustration how the media manipulates events.

[AlCzervik]

31. yes but the good thing--look how fast people here found out the truth instead

of just taking the papers word as gospel.

[Bullet1987]

27. False alarm...this isn't true

There are only 8 seats up on the stage anyway...

[Colobo]

28. He does NOT... hehehehe... :)
