Al Gore, my president. I am a typical Gore/undecided voter. I supported him in 2000 because he's green. Notice I said,"supported him" rather than "voted for him." My vote didn't get counted. George Bush won the next term because of crappy machines in key districts.

One must be living in lie-lie land, not to see that the earth is being bulldozed, strip mined, dotted with oil fields. Entire species are being wiped out at a disastrous rate. There is no significant alternative energy policy. Exotic plants and man are destroying entire ecosystems. One day my grandchildren are going to ask me what I did to help save the environment.

Al Gore gets it. He is out of the box, beyond the political radar.

There is a total lack of anything substantial in this post. How he would implement a plan to set the country on the right track is a moot point. He isn't running. However, Al Gore will always be my president.

Gore personifies a cause to millions of people who fiercely believe he was rightfully elected in 2000, and who will never get over the events that stopped the counting of the votes in Florida and put the election in the hands of a partisan Supreme Court. To this day people continue to address him as President Gore. As Martin Peretz wrote in a June 2006 op-ed in The New Republic, “there is an undercurrent of guilt around the country about the fact that the presidency was taken from him by a vote of 5 to 4." ...

Bottom line: Even after Labor Day, Al Gore is still on the minds of Democrats. He just seems like the guy who should be cleaning up the mess George W. Bush made. And so, some Americans wait and wonder if he will run or who he will endorse. Thus, the deciding factor of this election may not be special interests, corporate interests, or the amount of money one raises. It could be whether Al Gore likes what candidates bring to the table or not. And if that’s so, based on what each Democratic candidate brings, Gore will decide who deserves to lead America into a new and brighter day.
