[Alexander]

4. The OP has very little positive energy to contribute...

Hence why threads like these exist.

[wildhorses]

12. a mere fly --- is all

shoo fly ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Oh....do you have land in Florida too?

Where do I sign up?

:rofl:

[TwilightGardener]

3. Ouchie--that's gonna sting the Gore crowd.

And yet, it's true--there is no sign of him running. I think they are finally losing hope. Hard to let go of a dream.

[AtomicKitten]

5. It could happen.

[JackORoses]

6. oh yeah,

well the jerk store called,
and they're out of you!!!

[Webster Green]

7. Still hoping..

Why....you got a problem with that?

He got elected once. He's still President, as far as I'm concerned. The other deal we got going on now is nothing more than a giant hoax.

[Joe Fields]

8. Heh, heh,...he may not have to run.

He may just be able to walk right through, on a wave of support not seen since the days of Bobby Kennedy.

14. Can I get an Amen??? nt

[tnlefty]

26. Amen!

I'm still waiting.

[frogcycle]

when buscheney tries to declare martial law, suspend elections, there is a military coup and they install him - or Clark - or both - as head of state.

11. I can still hope

for another month or so.

[RiverStone]

13. I think not - I hope yes.

Not holding my breath.

[Bluebear]

15. Do you pull wings off of flies too?

[Harper_is_Bush]

29. Is that your opinion of Gore 4 Prez folks? They're "flies"? n/t

[lligrd]

16. Wait, I Got A Letter From Gore Tonight

Haven't opened it yet but my hope is that he is asking for donations for his Presidency campaign. Think I will put off opening it till tomorrow so I can hope a little longer.

[lonestarnot]

17. Maybe and so?....

[hang a left]

18. Do you sit satisfied in your glee?

Do you need attention?

Do you have "mother" issues?

Is your penis under 3 inches, or there abouts?

Are you fearful of confronting others on a one on one basis?

Do you live in a basement? Rented room? Family cottage?

Do you prefer Marie Callendar Pot Pies for dinner?

Are you a complete and total loser?

Inquiring minds and all...

[silverojo]

23. The only people with issues....

...are the delusional sorts who believe Al Gore lied when he said he's not running for president.

[DefenseLawyer]

34. He said he had no plans to run

He's had 10 thousand opportunities to say he's not running for president. Has said it once.

[Harper_is_Bush]

31. Oh yes, I am so very satisfied in my glee.

And I have mother issues.
And My penis is very short.
And I live with my mom, in the basement.
etc...etc...

All those things you accused me of, including being a "total loser".

That's me!

What are you though?

Well, judging by your reply to me, it's no secret.

Sorry.

[OneBlueSky]

19. if he doesn't, I'll be hugely disappointed . . .

knowing what he knows about the state of the planet, and knowing that none of the current candidates are going to do anything substantive about it, I believe he has a responsibility to put aside his dislike of politics -- hell, we ALL dislike politics -- and get in the race for the good of his nation and the planet . . . anything less is a cop-out that I find unacceptable and, as I said, HUGELY disappointing . . .

[melody]

20. Have you THAT little confidence in your own candidate?

You guys really need to believe Gore isn't going to run. You keep saying it over and over and over and over
again in threads very like this one. You never see posts from the Gore people beyond the occasional hopeful
ones, but you people are SO certain that Gore isn't going to run that you keep declaring it publicly ... probably
because it's pretty clear he IS going to run.

Had you been reading any of the Gore-related posts, you'd see a large group of us don't expect him to declare
until November.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

21. He'll Announce In Second Half Of October

He's scheduled for several appearances out West in early October. The final one being on Thursday October 11, a date which was apparently originally scheduled for Friday 10/12, and had to be changed due to "scheduling conflicts." Those "conflicts" just might have to do with the fact the Nobel Peace Prize winner will be announced on Friday 10/12.

Therefore, as many have said, he won't want to cause any influence, so he won't say anything until After the Prize winner is announced.

I'd predict between Monday October 22 & Thursday November 1 is the time we'll see whether he's In or out.

[silverojo]

22. Funniest post I've seen all day--on ANY forum!

:rofl:

[saltpoint]

24. Let's let Al be Al and wait and see what Al wants to do.

While we're waiting, we can all order the new Joni Mitchell CD, due in just a few days, called SHINE.

If you know anyone inclined to vote blue, urge them to register. I'm hoping for large margins in November 08.

[Harper_is_Bush]

32. I agree. Have you told that to all the "RUN AL, RUN!!!"folks? n/t

[saltpoint]

36. I'm guessing the man isn't likely to let himself be rushed if he's

going to enter the race, or pressured otherwise if he's decided not to.

Plus, he's bigger than I am and could whop me a good one if I crossed him.

I think a Gore candidacy is possible, and for many on DU, preferable. I'm supporting another Democrat in the primary, but if it should happen that Gore is our candidate, I hope he chooses a sturdier running mate this time and after that, I think he'd do very well in a general election.

Those funny ballots down in Florida are gone now, too. Al would carry Ohio (he lost it by I thik 3.4 % or so) and he'd contend in Florida this time as well -- and those two states plus the others he carried would give him control of the electoral college.

The hard part is deciding if he wants the nomination.

[Virginia Dare]

25. Nope, I never did...n/t

[BlooInBloo]

27. You sure told us!! Why, oh why wouldn't we just listen to you from the get-go???

[Harper_is_Bush]

28. I don't know. Maybe you're not the crispiest chip in the bag. n/t

[DefenseLawyer]

33. Yeah cause it is like totally too late

No one has ever heard of him. If he got in now he wouldn't have time for primary voters to even learn who he is. And money? How can he raise money? A virtual unknown with no base of support. You are a political genius. Bob Shrum, is that you?

[Oilwellian]

35. And what if I do?

What are you going to do about it? C'mon, put 'em up, put 'em up! :D
