Let me get this right, the guy who helped Howard Dean lose his own party's primary is going to "help" Al Gore as well as raise awareness of global warming ?

I remember how the press panted over Howard Dean as being so scary powerful because he was using the internet (how cutting edge in 2004) and then went on to finish 3rd in Iowa.

Wooooow.

How does one raise awareness of global warming when it is already at hysteria level ?

We know there is global warming. Whenever the sun comes up, the globe warms. Geez, calm down.

This is my mission, Larry. To tell people - HELLO, PERCEPTION IS NOT REALTITY. Don't allow people to shape your reality by distorting your perceptions. Is it any wonder then, that I hate the tabloids???

Gore's record and his accomplishments should have been enough. No amount of spin should have altered that - and none did. Gore was not DEFEATED, he was CHEATED. That was the first infraction of the Bush administration. And people wonder at their gall?

ENOUGH. All this postmortem is enough. What's important is that the chickens are coming home to roost for the Bush administration. The truth is out. Bush will be impeached and my eyes will see it.

After hearing and seeing Al Gore speak on global warming in Portland last year, my perception of him changed radically. I supported and voted for him despite his rather stiff demeanor and his Republicrat running mate. He certainly isn't what he was presented as. When divested of whoever was mis-handling his presidential campaign he actually comes across relaxed, charismatic, engaging, interesting and informative. Had the Al Gore I saw been running in 2000, no amount of election manipulation would have beaten him. In retrospect, we missed a golden opportunity for the US to be a real leader in the world and not the bully state we've become.

I see...so to AVOID having more Republican rule, we should select candidates that the Republicans like!

Instead of choosing competent, even brilliant capable leaders who can (perhaps) repair some of the damage they've done to our status as a nation, our stability, our peace, and our economy, not to mention taking steps to assist the global effort at improving our environment. Gore was part of a team that presided over the first surplus in --when ???

Instead of fixing the voting machines, impeaching Bush, eliminating the corrupt cronyism affecting our nation, ejecting a useless and inept administration -- all we have to do is choose a candidate that Republicans will like! Because they certainly will not give us as much a fight with anyone else...

FIRST CLASS, FLYNN - take first honors at MORONISM.

Gore??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA that is rich.

Maybe Hillary could be his running mate. Or he could be her running mate.

We could call it Clinton\Gore II.

Really do it. If you want to see another 4+ years of Republican rule.

Because he's brilliant. The enviroment simply is his greatest concern and the platform they choose to highlight at the moment.

Is he electable? YES YES YES.

People forget that he won in 2000, fair and square. Look, simply this - in a true election, Al Gore would win in a heartbeat. Simply make sure the election is fair.

First step, - Get RID of BUSH. IMPEACH him, attach so much scandal (it's easy because he's mired in it) to his name, his legacy, his presidency and all his cohorts that Republican becomes a bad thing. THEN GET RID OF VOTING MACHINES, or overhaul all of them. There are enough hackers who would do this for us for free.

Why are we letting thise yahoos win by buying their schtick???

Because they control the "media"? Heck the traditional media has no credibility left. Why not let them pay the price? Stop tuning in. Big business is an ass. It follows the money. As Salon says, 'Let's fund our own media.' I stopped tuning in to ABC, FOX and others when I KNEW, FOR A FACT that in certain precincts, ballots had not yet been counted and FOX came out with the news that Bush had "won" and the other dodo's jumped on the bandwagon - then Republicans did everything to prevent and disrupt the recounts. I spoke to people turned away at the polls using a number of tactics that were criminal and a violation of the constitution, yet that fact barely made the news.

The Chinese symbol for CRISIS also means OPPORTUNITY. We can turn this around. We're on a cusp of both the greatest crisis and the greatest opportunity this country, this nation has ever faced.

GORE CAN WIN. DOES HE HAVE A HERCULEAN TASK AHEAD OF HIM WHEN HE DOES? YES. BUT HE'S BRILLIANT - LET'S NOT FORGET THAT...

especially when one is flogging false dicotomies...and sees science as something which is politically motivated.

Classic projection and the tragedy of binary thinking.

Still, it is hilarious seeing someone call Al Gore a tool of the left.

Is that the left is in the grip of the same kind of apocalypticism as the right except instead of coming from God it's coming from man.

I meant the 3d millenium of course, lousy counting!

Global warming or wars? Owls or bullets? Let us be frank, with uncontrolled global warming there is a good chance that mankind will have a good chance of becoming the dinosaurs of the 2nd millenium as we count it. Needless to say that the policies of the present king in the White House may speed up this event tremendously.

Gore 08, 12, 16, 20?

There's gotta be a better way because honestly, the next president, assuming he or she is not another Bush, is going to inherit a huge pile of problems that will take more ruthless solutions than talking about global warming and protecting owls.
