Title: Gore campaign team assembles in secret
Post by: 240 is Back on April 22, 2007, 07:47:46 AM
Friends of Al Gore have secretly started assembling a campaign team in preparation for the former American vice-president to make a fresh bid for the White House.

   
Al Gore is third favourite for the Democratic nomination

 
Two members of Mr Gore's staff from his unsuccessful attempt in 2000 say they have been approached to see if they would be available to work with him again.

Mr Gore, President Bill Clinton's deputy, has said he wants to concentrate on publicising the need to combat climate change, a case made in his film, An Inconvenient Truth, which won him an Oscar this year.

But, aware that he may step into the wide open race for the White House, former strategists are sounding out a shadow team that could run his campaign at short notice. In approaching former campaign staff, including political strategists and communications officials, they are making clear they are not acting on formal instructions from Mr Gore, 59, but have not been asked to stop.

His denials of interest in the presidency have been couched in terms of "no plans" or "no intention" - politically ambiguous language that does not rule out a run.

One of his former campaign team said: "I was asked whether I would be available towards the end of the year if I am needed. They know he has not ruled out running and if he decides to jump in, he will have to move very fast.

Suuuuure it is.  That's why Gore lives in the White House.   :)  Man, talk about not getting over it.  That election was almost seven years ago.  It's like Republicans who never got over the fact Clinton won the White House . . . twice.

No matter what side you're on, ya gotta admit Gore will add some levity and balance, plus experience and wisdom to the current political spectrum.

He he wins the nomination? Yeah.

I think if Algore ran though he wouldn't beat Obama or Billary.

I would bet that you're wrong.  Gore is pretty popular on the left.  Hillary is not nearly as popular with the left as the media depicts and Gore would get the nomination over Obama easy.  Guilani won't win against anyone... ever...

If he does run we all might want to get used to a whole lot of Global Warming rhetoric, especially from the Conservatives. And of course the message will be lost because everyone will be focusing on the messenger.

I'm hoping he doesn't run.

Gore/Hilary with a promise to make Obama Secretary of Common Sense, and Bill Clinton becomes Ambassador to the world.

Unbeatable.
