1. Environmental/Climate Change Czar, hopefully.
Just give him free reign to do whatever he needs to do. Gore's a force of nature - let him roam. Empower him.

2. Given the "no leftovers" policy they were discussing
last night, I doubt we will see Gore in the cabinet.

3. I somehow suspect Al will be happy to stay on the outside.
If not, though, Sec'y of the Interior would be a logical place for him.

5. Gore has said he doesn't want a cabinet post, but who knows?
I'm hoping Obama creates some sort of special commission on climate change because I believe Gore might be open to being a part of that.

6. He could certainly be an advisor
or some non-cabinet position.

7. Obama's people has said he only wants to hire new people.
With that said, I think Al Gore will still play a role. He's too important and valuable not to.
