Quick answer: NO

NO.

No

YES

NO

He should endorse Obama.

No!

Yes

He should be Obama's running mate or should be appointed Secretary of the Interior.

I certainly wouldn't vote for him.

I don't agree with the way that you phrased the question. Should he get into the race, on his on initative, no. But it is remotely possible that the party requests that he get in as a compromise candidate at the convention. That is extremely unlikely to happen but if it did I might vote for him. Otherwise, hell no. He's had his chance.

If it's a tie, they'll just wrestle for it. Don't you know anything about politics, Subby?

Cyborg77: He should be Obama's running mate or should be appointed Secretary of the Interior.

He should be Secretary of kick-ass beards.

Both Gore and America had their chance in 2000, and they both farked it up.

I certainly don't have any problem with Gore, but I also don't understand this clamour to get him into the presidential race when he has repeatedly said he's not interested. Can anybody explain the appeal he has to the people that want him to run again so badly?

If would only make sense if people didn't really like any of the other candidates, and that's not the case for the Democrats. The split is between two popular contenders. If Gore got into the race, then you'd see a three-way split; I seriously doubt that the party would suddenly coalesce around Gore. Once Hillary or Obama is out, the party will unify behind the remaining candidate (probably less so for Hillary, since she seems to be turning off as many people as she's turning on).

Besides, Gore has the best of both worlds right now; he can draw attention to his issue (note the singular) without having to worry about being held accountable for actually doing anything. If he were president, there would be tremendous pressure for him to make significant strides in combating global warming.

Different story for the GOP, however. They are definitely a party looking for someone to rally behind. The current crop are a bunch of duds, and Newt won't go anywhere. He's not very charismatic and has way too much baggage.

He should enter as a Republican candidate.

What's the worst that could happen?

I think he'd just muck everything up. I'm sure any of the candidates would give him room to work under their administration, but what the fark could he really do in a VP capacity, and he seems less likely to pull more independent votes than Obama.

Nothing like a huge injection of bland to stabilize the party.

Question for those who say "NO": Would you vote for the Democrat candidate anyway?

I have a hard time imagining THAT many people really prefer Hillary or Obama over Gore.

Republicans are saying the same thing about Thompson if neither McCain nor Romney have a quorum come convention time.

Al could defiantly be the conscripted reluctant nom.

If he had gotten in earlier I would have supported his candidacy. But it's too late. Let Obama take the lead. Besides I'm sure there will be a job waiting for Gore, should he be interested, in the next administration.

They should fark for it. Whoever comes first loses.

YES.

Didn't vote for him in 2000, big mistake.

Both Hilly and Barak are running simply because they want to be president. Just like your high school freshman class president. Gore also wants to be president, but he also has an agenda, a reason for being president.

no pants: Question for those who say "NO": Would you vote for the Democrat candidate anyway?

Question for you: Who says we're all partisan idiots who plan to vote strictly by party? I'm voting for whichever candidate seems the best (or the least objectionable, as the case may be), which in this election seems be narrowing down to either Obama, McCain, or abso-farking-lutely nobody else, including Al Gore and ESPECIALLY Hillary Clinton.

If I can't vote for Obama or McCain in the final election, my write-in "candidate" is going to be the longest, nastiest string of profanity ever recorded in human history. I'm sick of the nomination process being used as a tool to prevent the regular public from having any real choice.

cereally folks, no

Yes, 'cause that worked out so well for Bobby Kennedy.

Hella YES! For serial!!!

Are you kidding? He's got a great gig with that Global Warming what-have-you.

You think he'll take the pay cut?

Besides - he's a worse politician than George Bush -- and Bush is the third worst politician in American History... second only to John Kerry ... and ... wait for it... Al Gore!

Yes, all 820 pounds of him.

should Al Gore get into the race?

farking what? How many God Damn times does the articulate and attractive man from Tennessee have to say, "NO. I am not going to run for president".

Another politician from Tennessee has about as much likelihood to be a successful Democratic presidential candidate in the general election: Andrew Johnson.

Quick answer, Yes. After I think about it, the answer is still yes.

Nader might as well throw his hat in, this 2008 election is craziness, I say the more crazy, the better.

Gore ran with Lieberman. That's enough Do Not Want for me.

larry00: Republicans are saying the same thing about Thompson if neither McCain nor Romney have a quorum come convention time.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

"Hey, our two frontrunners failed to gain a majority of votes.. Lets nominate that guy that kept coming in 3rd in the early primaries then quit!"

Hmmm...

All I can suggest is a BILL BRASKY THREADJACK


No?
/takes seat, embarassed as ever
//fed my baby shrimp scampi

No!
YEEEEEeEEEeEESSSSS!

No-he won't run because then he would be challeged on the global warming scam he is running.

Kucinich should switch to the Green Party , his platform is closer to theirs then to the democrats.

If your horse broke his leg the last race, it's a bad idea to add some duct tape and try again.

Same thing applies to McCain.
