I have to admit, I’m finding it difficult to get behind Clinton or Obama. I don’t hold out a lot of hope for either one winning. The chances they’re given are largely based upon poor front runners in the GOP field. But recently, word has came out that Fred Thompson is discussing a possible run. And from what I’ve heard and read, the right have Thompson held up much like the left has Gore… as some kind of great white hope.

I have my fingers crossed for Gore. Thompson will surely wipe the floor with all other GOP contenders. And will probably trounce his way right on into the White House in a non-Gore election.

(Nota Bene: Thompson WILL BE another Bush!)

Gore on the Un-Campaign Trail

March 26, 2007 issue - Since the documentary he starred in, “An Inconvenient Truth,” won an Academy Award, speculation has only increased about Al Gore’s potential entry into the presidential race. He is not taking any overt steps toward running, and that may be the cleverest strategy of all. [...] Laurie David, who helped bankroll Gore’s film, and whose “personal fantasy” is that he run, says that when she presses him, he’s always coy and says his cell phone is breaking up. “I believe him when he says he doesn’t have any intention of running,” David told NEWSWEEK. “But I also believe the door is not completely shut.”

A leading indicator of his intentions could be Gore’s waistline. The theory is that slimming down will be a signal he intends to run. “He has lost a few pounds, and Hillary can read into that what she wants,” says a longtime adviser who declined to be identified discussing his boss’s figure. [...]

Gore is also finishing a book that sure seems like a prelude to something. “The Assault on Reason,” to be published in May, is about “the forces in society that are undermining democracy,” says Roy Neel, Gore’s chief of staff. [...] Laurie David and Sheryl Crow will lead a college tour that will culminate with a rally in Washington. Perfect setting for a presidential announcement, but Gore won’t be there. He’ll be conducting a virtual reunion of the thousand “climate messengers” he has trained to carry on his crusade.
