    Al Gore Hasn't "Surrendered"

    "In other words, Gore has surrendered to Bush again."

    Huh? I don't get that at all. He's moving on into a bigger world than American beltway politics, trying to mobilize people on an issue of global importance that dwarfs transient electoral concerns. That's not surrender - it's growth. No one's going to care about the 2008 election in 100 years. But they'll remember the efforts of people like Gore.
