I was more convinced than ever that one of the reasons so many people are urging Gore to run is because they suspect that his recent journey -- including the devastating loss of the presidency -- have strengthened who he is at his core.-Arianna Huffington, writing about her recent interview with former Vice-President Al Gore.
Gore is focused on the problems of environmental and cultural pollution, but perhaps his greatest strength as a leader comes from his hard-earned ability to withstand the pollution of the soul.
While talking presidential politics with friends this past weekend, they asked if I wanted Gore to run next year. I responded by saying that should the former V.P. throw his hat into the Democratic contest he would automatically have my vote.
The man is an internationally respected statesman and could run the ultimate "I-told-you-so" campaign. After eight years of the imbicile known to the world as George W. Bush, Mr. Gore would be the ideal candidate to put America and the world back on track.
A majority of those independent voters who were on the fence up until Election Day in 2000, and wound up casting a vote for Mr. Bush, would, I suspect, be more than happy to cast a vote Al Gore in 2008.
Please, Mr. Gore...RUN!
