DEAR, DEAR OBAMA, PLEASE PICK GORE!
Imagine, just imagine!

If Gore is given the complete freedom of greening America back to financial life, and, hence, the planet, Gore would be happy, wouldn't he? How could he refuse this major dream?!! It's our major dream, too!! Obama wants change in the way things are normally done, and I don't see a better way, do you? This could be so great-no grand!!!

If not Gore-please pick Boxer!

The others on the short list are pretty damn good, but so many would be beyond ecstatic

if Albert Gore was chosen the winner!!!

THE FUTURE IS GREEN! THAT'S THE ONLY THING INVESTORS ARE INTERESTED IN. THE TIME IS NOW!

PICK GORE!!!

20. Gore was asked in an interview 2 weeks ago
He clearly said he would not be VP again.

12. Like I've said,
I think it will be presented to him differently, and because Gore is in more enlightened place with his regards to politics, it really would be another kind of official capacity for him, a separate adventure from the norm. Just saying.

6. Because he wouldn't be a traditional Veep!
Because Obama wouldn't have a traditional Presidency. Gore would be commander of all things green!

9. Gore is too polarizing now.
Unfortunately, there is a great deal of America who hate Al Gore almost as much as they hate the Clintons. He'd probably hurt Obama's chances.

19. That's a terrible reason.
The least "polarizing" figure would certainly be a republican, and we don't want that. Gore won't run because he is not interested.

13. Sadly..

We should be nearing the end of Gore's presidency, but the time continuim skewed off and we ended up in hell. Gore will be back as Prez contender next time I believe, either in 2012 (if McCain) wins or 4 years after. The earth will be even more fucked up by then and his environmental cred will be more desired.

17. If Mccain't wins, everything will go completely to hell.
Probably none of us will be around by 2012. I don't think we'll make it, things are dire enough without having to wait any longer. We need Gore's leadership NOW!

14. Gore wouldn't bring anyone in who doesn't already support Obama.
Much as we might like to see him as VP.

15. I would rather have him head the EPA...
and Edwards as Attorney General. Ask them to serve in the areas where they excel.

18. Why on earth would Gore tie himself to someone elses agenda?
IMHO Gore should have run. Now that is someone I would vote for from the heart.
