3. The Longer He Waits, the Less Likely it Is
If Gore entered two months ago, I think he would win. Now, I'm afraid it's already too late, like it was for Clark in 04. The field is pretty well defined at this point in people's minds.

Gore is popular, but not as popular in the general population as he is here.

5. General Clark, good man that he is, was not well known in 2004.
Gore has already won one presidential election. If he enters in late October, he may very well have a Nobel peace prize in hand, adding to the luster he already has for his work against global warming.

I have no idea whether or not he will enter the race. If he does, though, I think he will be the odds-on favorite.

15. That's the biggest advantage Gore has vs. Clark. Gore has tremendous name recognition already.
Apples and Oranges, I say.

4. I would feel more comfortable
voting for Al Gore than anyone else who is running.

7. Please. America was cheated out of their choice in 2000.
This would be like getting a do-over. Gore would destroy any challenger, Democratic or Gooper.

8. No, because he has not demonstrated
any outreach to the key Primary States where the others have.....Plus, Hillary has a well laid plan...Augustus Cesar would be envious of her strategy.

9. Unfortunately, he won't be running.
Too bad. He would wipe the floor with the lot of them.

10. It's his if he wants it. He's in a class by himself.
The only person that would do as well in 2008 is Bill Clinton, and he can't run.

Of course the corporate media will go to war to stop him.

But I don't think Al would be so polite to the corporate media and other liars, cheats, thieves, and treasonous types this time around.

All imho, of course.

20. Where is she going to get the votes?
The republics hate her. She is not liked by many Dems. I'm an Indy and no way will I vote for her.

If Gore enters the race, it's all his.

18. Yes, absolutely.
In fact I think he would beat everyone quite handily. Gore/Clark destroys any Republican ticket, destroys it.
