Then-Vice President Gore swears in newly elected Clinton to the U.S. Senate, January 3, 2001.
WASHINGTON (CNN) - A source involved in Gore's past political runs told CNN that he definitely has the ambition to use the peace prize as a springboard to run for president.
But he will not run, because he won't take on the political machine assembled by Sen. Hillary Clinton, said the source. If the senator from New York had faltered at all, Gore would take a serious look at entering the race, the source said. But Gore has calculated that Clinton is unstoppable, according to the source.
Gore repeatedly denied he has any plans to run again, but this week a group of grass-roots Democrats calling themselves "Draft Gore" took out a full-page ad in The New York Times in a bid to change his mind. (Watch more on the movement to draft Gore)

i think just thinking about another Clinton in the White House scares me.
Not only a Nobel Prize winner but a smart man as well.
Sometimes you just have to shake your head and say "when you ask a left wing a question...aren't you expecting a left wing answer?" – Liberals – there are always two sides to every argument – (whether it be global warming or politics) – I would ask that you research your candidates positions. I think that you will see we are all moderate....and then choose the candidate (with 60% of the country) – Giuliani – 2008!
warms my heart to see such an irrelevent man come so far since Manbearpig. Can we find something else that is totally useless that he can do?
Another Clinton in the White House? Oh noes! Economic prosperity and a future I won't be afraid to live in! Those are just horrible horrible things!
Actually Gore is scared of Barak Hussein Obama – he knows Barak Hussein is unstoppable.
Well, This is a time to be a realist and ask the question: How could Mr Gore best serve humanity?
I would think that his present role suits him better.
RODNEY FROM TEXAS..You took the words right out of my mouth.
Coulter was simply stating her belief system, far more outrageous is Al Gore winning a Nobel Peace Prize!!! For what? Why is the world so intent on stroking the ego of this narcissistic Hollywood wannabe?
Would you rather vote for someone who was -misled- by Republicans, as Hillary claims, or someone who can see past the Republican charades and make the correct decision.
Everyone needs to remember what Barack Obama said in a speech on Oct 26, *2002*:
"I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda.
I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars."
Would you rather have someone who went along with the Republicans, or someone who got it ONE HUNDRED PERCENT correct?
Or more recently, she called Obama "inexperienced" a few months ago for saying he would meet with Ahmadinejad with no conditions attached. I believe she called it "naive". This past Thursday, Hillary Clinton said she would meet with Iran with "no conditions" attached. Again, do we want someone who is misled, changes their mind, or otherwise makes the incorrect decision, or someone who makes the correct decision the first time?
Chris: Keep dreaming! Giuliani? President? Three times married-dressed as a drag queen-walked in the gay pride-exploits 911 over and over and over-spreads fear-And finally a war monger. It is unprecedented that a Mayor becomes President...
Gore is very intelligent and right. Whether you love or hate Hillary, Hillary is ineveitable. Hillary has the strength, talent, and leadership skills to become the President. And she proved it over and over ad over. She has the "brain" to lead this country to a right direction. Please visit http://www.hillaryclinton.com, and show your support.
Yes, Chris, there are always two sides to every argument- a right one and a wrong one. And please don't forget, if we went with the person with the most votes in 2000, then Gore would have been President!
Once again, we have more mysterious pro-dynasty spin from CNN.
CNN hasn't always been the Clinton News Network.
http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1996/analysis/time/9612/02/pooley.html
http://www.cnn.com/US/9601/first_lady/01-16/index.html
How control over the "news" media has changed.
Gore has good intentions; he would truly be a good President. Not sure he would be received in his own backyard as well as he is received in the rest of the world.
Do you believe is Gore too late to run against Hillary ----> http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=694
.
According to the AP Hillary now says she will speak with Iran with"no conditions" I thought that was naive?
Does she believe in anything or simple whatever fits the audience she will say
Gore making a dash to the fridge appears to be "unstoppable".
Bring it on Shrilary, even the MSM will not be able to "explain" your lines like "Lobbyists speak for real Americans".
See you in 2008, all the dirt on you, will make the best "mud".
It bemuses me that ideological whack jobs continue to rip on Gore with no substantive basis. They appear willing to sacrifice the health of the world to "pile-on" and stay in lockstep with their pathetic marching orders.
Maybe, one of these repugnant whack jobs could enlighten us as to their accomplishments (or efforts)in making the world a better place?
I would rather vote for Emmett the clown. With due apoligies to Emmett
MoveOn.org billionaires supporting her.
MediaMatters slime machine supporting her.
CNN and other corrupt media supporting her.
He's definitely right on the dem nomination. Sorry Obama, John and Bill, a bias media stops the truth doesn't it. Lets just hope that middle America is not so blind.
Yes, Clinton is stoppable, very stoppable. I use to have a lot of respect for the lady – that respect was very much misdirected, it saddens me really. I so much want a woman in the White House – but, unfortuntely it is not this woman.
The Democrats choice and sure bet to win the White House is Barack Obama and this scares the "politics as usual" crown but Obama will shake things up in Washington and they don't want that.
Take OUR country back – Obama '08
Anyone who has actually met Al Gore and does not have a political agenda would not describe his as intelligent. In fact, he is functionally and socially illiterate without his handlers. When people talk of his internet prowess, they have obvisouly never had to boot up a computer for him becuase he could not figure it out. They have never opened an internet browser becuase he did not know what one was. They have never beeen called at 1030 at night to try to figure out how to navigate to a particular web site or open their e-mail. And yet the press portrays him as intelligent. Get real folks. If you actually saw this man in action off camera, you would never want him representing you in any capacity let alone President.
Congratulations AL!
Clinton Unstoppable? C'mon you've already won a presidential election.
I think a Gore/ "MANBEARPIG" ticket would be unstoppable.
Those picking the Nobel winner make me wonder if the inmates are truly running their asylum! Where is the connection between preaching global warming and qualifying to be our President?
I'm a huge Hillary supporter, but I would change over if Gore were to run.
Gore. PLEASE RUN.
You have a young republicans vote if you do just to keep Hillary OUT!
The man has such deeply entrenched supporters and with democrats willing to hold their noses while they move toward Hillary, does Gore really have to wonder if he'll be able to find support for his campaign. Certainly he owes no allegiance to the Clintons. Not with a Oscar winning film, a new and sincere persona (vs. Hillary's contrived shrill) and a Nobel Prize in his back pocket.
The presidency would be his to lose.

Well between Gore and Clinton, we will be a socialist country in no time. What a sad day for America.
Seth in Indiana: If you are scared of another Clinton being in the White House, then all I have to say to you is "Be Afraid, be very afraid".
HILLARY '08
Mr. Gore is indeed a very smart man. I am glad he knows that he can't beat Hillary!!!! Hillary is the strongest, most experienced, most competent, most intelligent person running!! She is best qualified to be President on DAY 1!!!!!
Go HILLARY!!!!
The time for Gore to stand up was in 2000 on the recount. Let him bask in greener pastures, now. On her worst day, Hillary is still 10 times smarter than Bush, has twice the balls, and half the arrogance. And as for Rudy911, I do believe he's worn a dress more times than she has. We've seen all the skeletons in her closet; his are about to come out, and most of them are a size 12.
It is truly unbelievable to see the morons write that the "jury is still out" on whether climate change is being induced by human activity. And, even if there still were some doubt, why can't they err on the side of saving things while we still can? Do they think our dependence on foreign oil has been a positive thing?
Just crazy, crazy, and more crazy.
Al Gore is to be commended.
I think if Hillary actually takes the Demo nod, her chances of winning are really not as good as people think. She has lots of money and is bought and paid for by corporate America and everyone knows it, so what really is to differentiate her from anyone in the GOP? She is female but I happen to think that the average female voter is concerned with things other than her sex and the whole "first woman president" thing. It will happen one day, but the question is, who do you actually want in the White House? I think Hillary is not as popular with women aside from her femaleness as she claims.
The only way she can win really is to go against someone who has even less charisma than GW. Problem is, the GOP is really good about finding such people. So it's still a waiting game.
2 families running the country for 20 years fits is almost not even a democracy. Thanks to big money and carefully managed PR, there's no real election anymore. It's actually quite sad. People have died to defend democracy, and here we are wide-eyed voting for whoever the slickest political add tells us to. pathetic, and good ol' hillary will be the latest bush/clinton to benefit from it. after that we still have Jeb to cycle through. Then who knows maybe we can start the cycle over again.
Who's this "source close to Gore", Howard Wolfson? Haha. Give me a break. She doesn't want him running because she knows he can win the all enchilada. I hope he does run. Triangulation is going to destroy this woman in the general election, and it's not too late to stop her, with or without Gore.
So Al gets an award because he made a politically correct, albeit factually inaccurate movie trying to scare people that humans have the power to alter a pattern of climate change that has been going on for more than 500,000 years? (well documented by the Vostok ice core measuring CO2 and temp levels for that period)
Just like the UN, the Nobel is becoming more political... and less relevant/trusted. When you give it to legitimate scientists that have found amazing discoveries, BRAVO! But when it's given to Carter, Arafat and the like... we wonder what they're smoking over there.
Reading all these comments, I am amazed at the ignorance and stupidity of the antiGore and antiHillary people. I've concluded thare is no hope for them. They need to be put into camps and deprogrammed for how ever long it takes after the elections.
"And please don't forget, if we went with the person with the most votes in 2000, then Gore would have been President!"
True, Martin, but this country is a complex republic, not a simple democracy (aka "mob rule") and we have this thing called an Electoral College. Don't like it? Fine. Feel free to move... but complaining that "my guy didn't win because the rules are unfair" smacks of the 8-year-old who takes his ball home when he loses a game of streetball.
Besides, if simple majorities are all you care about, I'm sure you don't mind if we get rid of the Bill of Rights, which was established to protect the little guy, right?
oh... my... God:
"I am amazed at the ignorance and stupidity of the antiGore and antiHillary people... They need to be put into camps and deprogrammed for how ever long it takes after the elections."
-Posted By Michael, Carbondale, Kansas
WOW, MICHAEL!!! How very, um, NAZI-ish of you! Disagree with me all you want, but having lived on three continents (including a former Communist country) I love our country's free and open debate... but I'm guessing you'd rather have a gov't like Burma: disagree with me and we will kill, imprison, or simply make you 'dissappear'.
I am TRULY frightened that some on the left (didn't you USED to champion free speech?) view anyone who disagrees with them as an enemy of the state that needs to be imprisoned. Frightened... but unfortunately not surprised.
Al Gore Along with the Clintons has done alot of damage to our country, absolutly the most corrupt individuals
to ever hold Public office, These liberals along with the demacratic party are pushing policies that are leading us into socialism. the truly evil people are bringing us HELL on earth.
As a conservative, I would LOVE for Al to join in the race. I remember how he tore Bill Bradley to shreds back in '00. How fun would it be to see Al and Hillary beat the crap out of each other!!!!! I actually think Al's afraid of Hillary.
oh please, the man knows he can stomp a mudhole in that witch.
I believe we are entering a phase similar to Germany 1930's prior to WWII. It appears radical (evil) liberals are moving towards a victory in their war against America. A Hillary win will mark the end of freedom for the majority of Americans. At some pants re-education and human extermination camps will spring up. Christians will be persecuted, killed and unable to find work to support their families. Conservatives will be murdered. Elites will have all the power & spoils and poverty will be rampant all over the world.
Speaking of the world, more evil dictators will emerge unchallenged. Muslim extremists will go unchallenged as well. By the time this is finished billions will have been killed and the world will be hell on earth.
What caused this? 40 years of liberalism that has made our citizens stupid. These weak-minded fools will welcome Hillary et al with open arms but soon will regret it. But it will be far too late. Life will be very difficult and these weaklings won’t be able to hack it. They will commit suicide and fall like flies. Survival of the fittest will take over and liberalism will have to die then.
In the long run eternity in heaven will be the reward for certain people. I see Hillary, Bill, most of Congress, mainstream press and probably GW Bush living in hell with Sadam.
Enjoy your hell folks because you let it all happen.
had to laugh at the posts by the sheep that think Hillary can bring prosperity. won't happen. she moves us toward socialism. too many of these candidates are CFR globalist scumbags.
Yasser Arafat won the Nobel Peace Prize on year. It is just another pointless award that libral morons give to their friends.
I hope Hillary wins we need new leader ship and she can do it,get the republicans out all of them
Considering she just got Mondale and Rep. Lewis to endorse her, I am not sure how much hope anyone has of stopping CLinton!
“… the term “democrat” originated as an epithet and referred to ‘one who panders to the crude and mindless whims of the masses.’”
Yassir Arafat was also Nobel winner. Goes to show you how much the award is worth.
After reading all the comments from right wingers and Bush supporters, it seems that these people are so desperate and frustrated that they have nothing but to bash Gore and Clinton. Their leader Bush was rated amongst the worst president US ever had and their presidential hopefuls Guliani, Romney, Thomson are all poodles of Bush and as such there is nothing to talk good about them. So, whether Gore decides to run or not, each and every democrat on the ticket look articulate, qualified, and deserve to occupy the White House. America is counting days when this incompetant republican white house taken over by democrats.
It is sad, the Shadow Government has Chosen Hillary already, It will be an easier transition since she will appoint many of the same people that her husband did, when he was in office. HAIL SHADOW GOVERNMENT !
Congratulations to AL. It just goes to show you that even if you lie and distort the facts but are politically correct with the liberal agenda you can be recognized. What a joke. This one is almost as bad as the buffoon Jimmy Carter getting one.
Those who truly want a horrible liar like this man in the White House deserve what will happen. And as for the wonderful economy that "Clinton" brought during his presidency. That was all that was left over from Reagan and Bush and their tax cuts. It took Bill 8 years to destroy it and now you blame Bush Jr. Again, you all deserve what will happen to this country if a Liberal will get in office.
Hmmmmm...I bet the "source" is from the Clinton campaign. Gore would beat Hillary...Obama will give her a run for her money (more so than polls indicate.) A Gore/Obama combination would be unbeatable period...
Tali S. from Edison, NJ....This blog is about AL GORE. Not Ann Coulter..someone who basically has been accepted by most of modern American now after he comment yesterday as clinically INSANE. Anyway, Al Gore has been spending him time doing something positive for humanity and he got rewarded. I dont see anythingwrong with that, his achievement is a wonderful one. It's far better than Bush, who is spending his time figuring out ways to flood my generation with as much DEBT from this Iraq War as possible...You know whose ego we have to stop stroking? George Bush's. He made a fatal mistake and he owes all of the world and Americans particularly an APOLOGY for this disaster of a war that has killed our troops, hurt our economy and destroyed our national image on a global scale.
Congratulations on your well-deserved Nobel Prize, Mr. President.
For millions of Americans, you are still the head of state of our nation's Government-in-Exile.
Thank goodness there are statesmen like you in the world to represent America at its best, rather than at its worst, as our current "administration" does.
Let it be known to all that the election of Mrs Hillary R Clinton is a Fait Accompli. She can only lose this thing if her vote to demonize the Iranian military as a terrorist organization come back to haunt her. Otherwise there is no one in the present presidential field who can halt her return to the Whitehouse.
Well this buffoon is in good company with his new medal.He's right up there along side Yassar Ararfat and Jimma Carter.The Nobel Peace prize is just another venue for liberals to slap one another on the back for their perceived good intentions. Big Al also got an academy award for making a movie of himself giving a speech. It's amazing to me that this guy with virtually no science training or background, is held in such high esteem by the same people that shout down legitimate earth scientists and physicists for being ignorant of the issue.I wish he would run again. It was amusing to watch him last time.
He now joins the ranks of TERRORIST YASSAR ARAFAT and WORST PRESIDENT EVER JIMMY CARTER!!
Why the PEACE prize? Because he couldn't win a SCIENCE award with his JUNK SCIENCE!!
Gore Obama 08! Now that would be unstoppable!
kramer watches too much fox news.
the sky is falling.
Isn't this the same Al Gore ( Democrat) that managed the transfer of military secrets to the Chinese? ..for campaign money? Hsu and Hill too? If you guys think either of these frauds will help the USA, then youlikely think Gore actually did something/anything scientific to obtain this Nobel. He didn't. Wake up America. You deserve the government you elect.
I too have to laugh at anyone who would gladly vote for Hillary and then suggest she can move the country in the right direction. If anything she'll continue the country in the *left* direction that will soon be approaching full blown Socialism. With every day another new cradle to grave program being announced, I have to expect the founders of the country (who didnt choose socialism) are rolling in their graves.
Hillary is evil and her election should result in a velvet revolution for America.
Gore is a dimwitted, distractable man who is obsessed with this MYTH of global warming. Democrats would only have a chance with a Clinton/Gore line-up, but we Republicans will win again–a win necessary to avoid national disaster.
I'm sick of this woman and her evil!
-LiberalWarrior
Hillary a courageous woman, Gore the kind person who learn things and understand fast. Nice to see them again. Any further agenda is double talk, subjective.
CNN removed the comments made by Richard of Irwine, TX. I agree with him that these right wingers are so jealous of Gore winning the Nobel. What can you expect from these ignorants who still believe Global Warming is hoax, Bush is the smartest president US ever had, and Saddam was responsible for 9/11. There is a saying in Wyoming that dogs don't bark at the parked cars.
If Al Gore had assumed the Presidency in the 2000 election (which he did win), we would not be in Iraq - an immense and overwhelming disaster and calamity. Further, Gore would have gone into Afghanistan after 9/11 and focused on the eradication of the Taliban. They are now back in full force while our troops were distracted by Iraq.
It is an immense tragedy for our country that Al Gore did not become our President.
Giuliani has 60% of the country behind him??? Ummm ok...He won't even get 60% of "TRUE" religious conservatives vote Chris from Connecticut!
This "source" sounds like Bill Clinton.
We need Al's statesmanship and commitment to the planet.
No Dems I know are truly thrilled with the state, unless you mention AL GORE, then their eyes light up. He'd instantly have thousands of maniac supporters and tons of campaign cash. He's got to know that by now.
I hope he gets in. The planet needs a true leadership in the White House. We can't survive another President with a fecal touch.
Predictable. Gore thought HE was unstoppable. Wrong. Gore think Quenn Hillary is unstoppable in a continuing wave or WRONG opinions by Mr. Gore and a definite sign of a bright future for the GOP.
Now that Gore has written a self-satisfying History for himself. Despite all the bad history that was being written for him by the masses. He has but ONE THING LEFT to do. ONE MORE WRONG TO RIGHT. GORE Endorse OBAMA! Encourage ALL your supporters and fans alike to join you in doing so. That could be the edge Obama needs and would put the CAP on the your "Past" CRAP you went through (If you know what I mean).. CARMA
If Gore enters the race,the race will become a two persons race. Clinton-Gore.it will also be the end of both Edward's and Obamba's campaign both candidates willbecome second tier and
no more donations.
Well – Hillary MUST be a shoe-in now. She has the support of all the communists (Fidel), porn community (Heidi Fleiss, Jenna Jameson), socialists (George Soros & Moveon.Org), and now failed Presidential Candidates (Gore).
Let's just call the whole election process off. Gore has spoken.
Al invented the internet....
Hands Down.....Albert Gore should become our next President!!!...He has all the makings of a US President....My vote is for you Mr.Gore!!
Could Algore be in the running for another Nobel prize for inventing the internet too?
Funny how CNN changed the photo to a younger Gore and INCLUDED SHRILLARY.
Hmmmm.
If Gore enters the race today, my vote is for him.....He is the best and most complete candidate!
MR. Gore, we need you desperately, please make a run for the Presidency!!!
"Truth Teller" said: Anyone who has actually met Al Gore and does not have a political agenda would not describe his as intelligent. In fact, he is functionally and socially illiterate without his handlers.
If you'll forgive the contradiction, Gore is lauded as a very charismatic and stunningly intelligent individual.
Admittedly, he has been criticized for his failure to increase his wealth during a booming economy while serving as VP:
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1998/08/03/246288/index.htm
This shows he wasn’t using public office to get rich, NOT someone who is too dumb to turn a profit. Case in point: since leaving office 8 years ago, he grew his personal assets from around $700,000 to over $100 million.
http://blog.fastcompany.com/archives/2007/06/21/al_gores_100_million_makeover.html
And he did it in part by creating an investment firm which invests in emerging green technologies. Don't believe the Republican spin: you CAN be pro-business and pro-environment at the same time. If Republicans weren't in bed with Big Oil, they'd tell you too.
Gore has more intelligence and more answers to today's issues than any candidate running for office. Hillary isn't unstoppable. Gore underestimates his appeal. He won the popular vote in 2000, and he's more popular now than he was then.
Gore 2008!
You know..mt friends have been talking about the overwhelming majority of Democrats who want Hillary in the white house. Thing is we dont know anyone who would actually vote for her, it's almost like they are pulling these numbers out of the air. Why would so many people want to vote for such a calculated political robot that is just like Bush with regards to the war?
From the song 'Hot Air' by Lance Morrison on the 'Blaming America First Music CD:
..."someone has to tell the tale
Of how we're getting hot as ****
A place they're keeping warm for me,
'cause I'm a Socialistic, self appointed Elmer Gantry....."

For those of you who question why Al Gore won the Nobel Prize, consider this: Gore has been, at times, a lone voice crying out to all of humanity and all nations, regardless of political persuasion, to work TOGETHER to preserve and protect the future of everything living thing on this planet. When people and nations put aside their differences and work together for the common good, the opportunity for universal peace on Earth becomes exponentially greater.
Congratulations to Al Gore – this is a well-deserved honor!
Who the hell is your source, Ed Henry? Sounds directly out of the Clinton campaign office.
Gore would be unstoppable, and Clinton knows it.
All I think of when I see Hillary's picture day in and day out is higher taxes all around. That's her main goal, and how hard it that to do?
Gore was a pretty good Vice President and is now a Nobel Price winner to boot, but he definitely isn't good at predicting Presidential primary races. Remember when he endorsed Dean almost exactly 4 years ago when Dean was dominating the polls, only for Dean to get crushed in the early primaries a month or two later? The fact that Gore called Clinton's campaign "unstoppable" is probably the worst thing that could happen to her. An endorsement from Gore is pretty much like the kiss of death.
I can't wait for a Romney and Obama Match up. Two well spoken folk with great ideas to move us away from the Bush-Clinton dynasty. 24 years of that and the founding fathers must be turning in their graves. They fought so hard to get away from her Majesty the Queen and all the stupid Americans can do is let two families at the helm as if their are no alternatives. Washington doesn't need to change, American People need to Change the way they vote people to Washington.
He's a smart man and he's right. May be Hillary should invite him for a vice-president in a another winning Clinton-Gore ticket? How about this idea lol
Just remember – it was clinton who brought sex and gore to the White House!
How much you wanna bet that source is working for Hillary Clinton's campaign?
Talk about the most bogus, political porn theater you could possibly create. Let's make up some "source" and put words in a great man like Al Gore's mouth.
Hillary Clinton spoke in her home state of New York last month. 2,500 people showed up.
Barack Obama spoke at the same place a few weeks later. 24,000 people showed up.
Who's unstoppable? You tell me.
I was so disappointed in Al Gore and lost much political respect for him when he didn't stand up to Bush in 2000. It seems he hasn't changed any, now saying he could not beat the Hillary machine. Gore looks like a beast but his actions are that of a beauty. I also don't think Gore wants the rigamarole of campaigning, rollercoastering on that democratic presidential candidate platform, held to scrutiny. But if it's the 'Clinton Machine' that gets her into the white house and that is the reason those who are standing behind her are - fear - like Gore's afraid to challenge her now, then it will be another sad sad day for the American people if we're left to endure 4 more years of this same Bush-type whitehouse with Clinton.
Everyone knows that Hillary will win. The Republicans are running scared.
WADDA GOOFEY PHOTO...it looks like they're about to high 5 each other for hiding Monica Lawinski's dirty laundry or something
Bush-Potato Man, Clinton-Gore, Bush-Cheney, Clinton-Gore, Clinton-Bush, Gore-Bush, Gore, Gore, There should be nothing left of America by December 23, 2012.
Gore may be incredibly stupid about a lot of things, but about Hillary Rodham he is smart enough to know that if he were to run against her for the nomination she would rip out his entrails. Besides, if she wins, he still gets what he wants: a socialist in the White House and thousands more of them added to the federal bureaucracies.
Proof that anybody can invent anything and win Nobel prizes:
Gorbachev – the guy who tried to keep Communism by putting a smiley face on it
Carter – left North Korea keep their nukes
Kofi Anan – benfited directly/indirectly from crookedness in the Iraqi Oil For Food program
Yasir Arafat – the guy who wanted anything but peace
Henry Kissinger – a guy who was replaced by Dick Cheney and Karl Rove as the left's most wanted for criminalizing
The prize committee is bent upon making themselves and the prize as irrelevant as Time's "Man of the Year" award.
I just love AL Gore. I met him once at the mall in Green Hills and he was so polite and understanding when I asked for an autograph for my mom, who by the way was ecstatic when I gave it to her. He would've made a wonderful President, it's too bad people were upset about his well breeding and good manners to see to his intelligence and ideas for this country.
It's amazing how the media has already brain washed you people 1 FULL year ahead of schedule. You really think Clinton and the Italian Guiseppe are the only 2 candiates to choose from.
What is it about communism do you like? I think we should break America apart if you big city folk really are that naive.
No she isnt....Lets wait till the General election and when all the skeltons come out of the closet and then we will see someone fall completely apart. My uncle is a republican operative in DC and he tells me all the time they want Hillary in the general election. I am an independent and if I was a democrat I would be a little fearful , I mean the lady has a 49% disapproval rating right now and it usually increases by 10-15% when we get closer to the election. Rudy right now only has a 28% negative rating. Sorry democrats you are about to give away a sure thing election by nominating Hillary.She just has way to much baggage and such a negative image.
Ya know, I wonder if they'll be playing a Fleetwood Mac song when Hillary wins. Bill did when he won.
Hillary will go the way of Howard Dean.
Jim
They don't hear you...what do they call that when the follows do anything their "leader" tells them....even if its insane...oh right...a cult
When you start thinking campaigns are unstoppable, the trouble really starts. Take USC and their loss to Stanford last weekend.
Congrats to Al Gore. I'd much rather have him win the Nobel and lose the presidency rather than the other way around.
Yet another story floated by the Clinton Machine. They are doing everything they can to put Gore in a position not to run....He knows that she can be beat. If he endorses Obama, or enters the race himself, either way she is a loser...Hillary is a 'flip-flopper' and 'flip-floppers' don't win.
No guts, no glory Mr. Vice President. The Democratic Party would be better off with you at the helm than Senator Clinton.
Research may discover a vaccine to stop the spread of Hillary any day now.
Now is the time for Al Gore man to come to the aid of the Party!
Obama is going to win in 2008. People don't want Hillary or Gore for that matter.
Success is the best revenge...Congratulations Mr. Gore, well done!
Al Gore has first hand experience in regard to Clintons, their character,their methods and and their political operatives. He also obviously found his work on global environmental issues much more rewarding and gratifying than running for POTUS.Why should he return to mud slinging of a political campaign? He wisely recognised that his legacy is better served by moving on to other accomplishments, which, unfortunately, cannot be said about Clintons still trying to hang to their power...
I believe that, sad to say, once again Mr. Gore is displaying bad political judgment and is missing his "greatest" opportunity at securing his rightful place in history.
He's sincerely mistaken if he believes that the Clintons are America's first choice for the presidency.
If he really wants to assist the global cause he has championed all his life, doesn't the power of the presidency, or the prospect of obtaining the office, require that he assert himself into the race?
Chris: Keep dreaming! Giuliani? President? Three times married-dressed as a drag queen-walked in the gay pride-exploits 911 over and over and over-spreads fear-And finally a war monger. It is unprecedented that a Mayor becomes President…
Grover Cleveland and Herbert Hoover were both Mayors before becoming President of the United States. Learn your history before making silly comments.
Ah, yes, the Gore kiss of death. Al had also thought Howard Dean was unstoppable and publicly endorsed the screaming meemie only a few weeks before the Dean juggernaut ran aground. Now, the Ozone Man is puckering up to deliver the same smoochie to Mrs. Gigglebox. Thanks Al.
neither of them– Gore nor hillery both bad - pray they just go away
How can anyone support any man who wants to "change peoples' thinking" through big government, taxes on an imaginary problem (one degree warmer in 100 yrs. doesn't sound like an issue does it?) and more government regulations? That sounds like socialism to me and I don't stand for these things that Hillary or Al Gore want.
I think people have a gut feeling that Hillary is just in this to placate the masses (in order to achieve the higher goal of her own glory.)
She talks about uniting, but she's THE MOST DIVISIVE person running. Ironic.
Not only a Nobel Prize winner but a smart man as well.

You're kidding, right? God help our Country, if the Witch from Arkansas becomes President. ARE WE NOT SICK OF BUSH, CLINTON, BUSH, CLINTON?
It is so sad that people feel the way they do about Hillary. She is by far the smartest and best candidate from either party to lead this country.
...and so the idiocracy that was our democracy comes full circle. And so it is: Manbearpig in 2008. I'm super-cereal, people.
You won the election, might as well occupy the White House. Its been a long time coming.
Al Gores knows who is best and he agrees its HILLARY CLINTON! I was hoping he would enter the race, doesnt look like it, so I'm hoping all Gore supporters now vote for HILLARY.
Everyday you "Repugs" remind me how stupid and narcisistic you are. One of these days you will realize that your ideologies go against all the teachings of Christianity.
I believe that Al Gore looked at the Democratic presidential candidate race with a fairly objective eye and came up with the only logical conclusion.
Put it another way, one Clinton cleaned up the mess left by the first Bush and now it will take another Clinton to try and clean up the mess made by the second Bush.
To bad Bush 41 never got around to housebreaking Bush 43, then we would not have to have another Clinton in the White House.
A total of 20 years of Bush, Clinton, Bush running America is enough. Vote in someone not connected to Washington,D.C. AL Gore, don't run, you scare me and my family.
Two families running the US for the past 20 years? Another indication we're on the slippery slope headed towards becoming a two-bit country ran by despots...ala Peron, etc. Any time the MSM's 15 second sound-bites helps form up a concensous among US citizens, you KNOW we're headed in the wrong direction...and at the mercy of whoever it is that determines what those "sound bites" communicate...I'm an optimists by nature, but this gives me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
What happen to the voice of those who once said, "better dead than red"? At one time we were a country fighting socialism and communism...and now we are one!
It absolutely blows my mind to think there are people out there that believe this al gore guy deserves any accolades for anything. the guy really knows how to stretch out his 15 minutes of fame.
Alright, enough of this BS. Who wants a slice of pizza http://www.mysatin.com from that place down de steet?
I say that if each of the Bush's got to be the president than each of the Clinton's get to be the president too. It is only fair to take turns. We all learned that in kindergarden.
Bloated Weather Boy Gore inherited a good economy and a safe and free post-Cold War world, and he and his criminal perverted running mate left this nation with: a recession, a burst tech. bubble, defunded military and intelligence services, and 9-11. Oh, Yes! Can we have some more? Last time Dems. ran Congress and the Presidency: the total economic, military, social, and political failure: Jimmy "I hate the Jews" Carter
He can say and think what he wants. http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/house.asp shows his level of hypocracy. Wonder if the Nobel group checked his living situation out prior to their selection......
Al Gore already won once. He would start a landslide. Since he's not in the race I would say Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, and Ron Paul are the Best Candidates. They tell the truth. The others slide around it trying to deflect the tough questions. The ones you don't hear a fuss about in the corporate media are the ones the corporate masters are afraid of. Congratulations to Big Al on his well deserved Nobel Prize.
Re-elect Gore.
Are right wingers the stupidest, most ill informed people on the planet? Yes they are. Calling the Clinton's corrupt with that criminal we have in the white house. His misuse of the justice system, all those no-bid contracts with billions missing. My God, do these people ever read a newspaper. I am truly ashamed to be an American. There is no intelligent debate possible with these right wing morons distorting every subject and
filling the air with their lies and nonsense. It is truly disgusting. And yes, If i had more money,I would be living in Europe. I have quite a bit of money but thanks to Bush devaluing the dollar by thirty percent with his policies, my money is pretty much useless overseas. What an incompetent piece of garbage Bush is. And these people that support, do they have third grade educations even
Al Gore has little credibility. He lost in elections, he flunked out of divinity school, he has family issues with his son being a druggie. If it wasn't for him hopping on the anti-Bush Global Warming bandwagon, no one would listen to him. That's why he chose this fraudulent cause. It's difficult to argue GLobal Warming without looking like a bad person. But, Al, chill out; we're NOT ruining the planet. America is the LEAST polluted, cleanest country for its size in the world.
I would vote for Al Gore or Hillary Clinton in a minute so it's a win win situation. God Bless!
The respectability of the Nobel organization just went down a notch.
Gore has been paid dearly to NOT challenge HRC in more ways than ONE. All of those back door deals, behind closed doors hand shakes, YUK, will continue even when the DEM PREZ choice is not the BEST for the US public. Politics in the US stinks of corruption, manipulation and greed. HRC is part of that network supporting and strengthening the negative in America. Wake up American Voters because it is not too late to make a positive turn and get this country on track by choosing the right person to run the US. Hilary is NOT the right solution, she is more of the same. America needs a jolt of immunity boosting herbs to take care of the problems dug deep by the Bush admin. HRC is not the life-sustaining jolt needed, she is the numbing sedation to keep us out-of-touch and subserviant. A HRC win means Americans lose and lose big time. IT IS YOUR CHOICE AMERICAN VOTERS, step up to the plate and participate, vote for real change and integrity, Not HRC.
Prez.Juliana? scary.. that dude is a total slimeball & complete whack job.
LONG Live The CLINTONS – Hillary & Bill '08
...Chelsea 2032!
Just think we could have a president that won a Nobel Peace Prize, invented the internet, and he and Tipper were the couple that inspired the movie love story. Elect him now!!!
Guy
Did anyone ever put any thought into the idea that George Bush is the anti-Christ? They said he has already been born and he is out their somewhere as a world leader.
Laurinda, as true as that coud be and how funny it is. I could really take your side on that one but the more I see your comments the more I think you support Hillary is because you hate Bush who isn't running anymore so get over it. He'll be out soon a one of the democratic candidates will be president.
Gore is not running for president – period. When will people accept it and stop speculating.
The closest he will get to the elections is an endorsement.
Let's hope he backs the real winner – Barack Obama who, by the way, gets the highest environmental rating by the League of Conservation Voters.
Clinton will win.
These are smart people who are capable of successfully running a country as complex as the US. Something a certain Texas Cowboy who can't spell right is clearly incapable of doing.
America knows this, why do you think Bill is so popular even though he cheated on his wife?
Come to your senses people, there is no reason why Hillary won't win.
Michael in Kansas, it is YOU who need to be out into a camp and deprogrammed if you think either of these 2 would make a good president. Stop drinking the Kool Aid, and stop smokinig whatever it is you're smoking you communist Nazi.
The Facts About Hillary's Unstoppability.
Hillary had a rally in New York City recently. 2400 people attended.
Obama had a rally in the same place last week. 24,000 people in attendance.
Obama outranks Hillary on environmental records, ethics reform, more bills passed in the Senate and the IL Senate, more bipartisan bills than any other Democrat.
In the 1980s Hillary was on the founding board of directors for Wall Mart, who then financed Bill's first campaign for governer of Arkansas.
In the 1980s Obama was the first African American editor of the Harvard Law Review and turned down over 700 corporate six figure job offers to instead walk the streets of Chicago as a community organizer on behalf of out of work steel mill workers, for 14 grand a year.
Obama called Iraq a "dumb war" in 2002 and said that it would devolve quickly into a civil war between Shia, Sunni, and Kurd, while at the same time, Hillary voted to authorize the war and bush didn't know how to pronouce the word Shia, much less what one was.
Obama has more individual campaign donations than ANY OTHER CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN U.S. HISTORY, mostly in the 10 or 20 dollar range. He currently has about 12 MILLION more dollars to spend throughout the campaign than Hillary does, despite the fact that three months ago pundits where saying that Hillary's cash machine would be unparralleled in U.S. History and that her campaign would be untoppable moneywise.
Whereas Hillary's donors come almost exclusively from corporate lobbys and packagers like Norman Hu, (recently arrested for $850,000 of illegal contributions to Hillary's campaign), who have given Hillary already the maximum amount allowed, Obama's incredibly large donor base has single handedly accomplished finance reform, allowing him to draw upon these low dollar individual donors again and again, making him competitive far beyond the early states.
Polls show consistantly that close to 80 percent of voters remain undecided or leaning toward a candidate only in a "soft" way. This is despite the fact that Hillary is a known commodity.
Only now are voters across the country starting to vaguely pay attention to the race. Hillary Clinton has a higher negative rating than any other candidate in history. Guiliani and the other repubs attack her constantly and even Bush has declared her the defacto nominee. Why?
Because they know if she's the nominee she will motivate the GOP base and even if she wins the election she will ensure that Republicans turn out to keep Republican Senators and Congressmen in office, thus checking any real change from occuring that any other democrat, especially Obama, would be able to accomplish.
Obama is the candidate of choice amongst the military, because they realize that he is not playing the usual political games and that he means what he says.
In places where the electorate is paying attention, Obama is tied with Hillary in the polls and leading amongst likely caucaus goers.
You tell me... who is truly unstoppable?
Let's see...this "source" is either Penn or Carville. It also smells of Bill Kristol.
Gore supports HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!
Gore said in an interview that of all the front runners he supports HILLARY and believes CLINTON will be president!
It's a complement to Obama Campaign that the Media/opponents has to try Sooooo Hardddd.. to find anything or goes as far as to event some scenario to be able to say anything bad about Obama. They basically have to knowingly setup a loaded debate question. That Hillary has been briefed on or uses a US Senator to jockey bill-voting times around. Obama will have to either except the VP position and do it quietly or they will pick Edwards (as I suspect they either have or will offer to Obama before the Primary) or Obama will have to reject their offer and continue to go for the Presidency 2008. If he chooses the latter, He must do it like it is Chicago and Kick a.. and take names.. Obama would be effectively running against Bill Clinton. So Obama you are NOW running against Bill Clinton. Formulate how to beat Bill Clinton and you win. P.S. Some of this seems to be already happening.
Former Vice-President Gore deserved the Nobel.
I am comforted by the comment that he would consider running if Senator Clinton faltered.
I was proud to cast my vote in 2000 for former Vice-President Gore, and believe to this day that he would have been 100 times better as President than President Bush has been.
My confidence in Senator Obama and former Senator Edwards is minimal.
If Senator Clinton falters, former Vice-President Gore has my vote.
Gore is right.
On the other hand, lots of other experienced politicians have determined Hillary not stoppable before, and they include George Bush, Gingrich, Rove, Castro...
I will tell you who is unstoppable...
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton,
The next President of these United States!!
Hillary is not Howard Dean of 2004 because:
(a) Hillary has much better campaign machine and surround herself with experieced election and political people including bill clinton (best strategist ever);
b) Hillary has raised most funds (firing power)to get her messages across;
c) This is the clintons' 3rd bid for president, winning the previous two;
d) the other dem and rep candidates are light weights and few have foreign political experience;
e) The clintons were successful in countering republican attacks during the clinton admin and came out as one of the best popular president ever. Bill Clinton left office with a job-approval rating of 66%. Three-quarters of Democrats, and 53% of voters in general, would like him to play an active role in a future Clinton administration. Nearly nine in ten Democratic voters (88%) express a positive view of Hillary's candidacy; 38% express a very positive view.
(f) Hillary does not need to paint the whole america blue, and all she needs to do is to win one more state than john kerry.
(g) Hillary is leading in all state primaries (except Illinois) over Obama and Edwards by a big margin.
(h) Hillary has experience to make responsible and realistic changes, and has heart and passion for public service.
i) Half of the American voters are women (most of which have indicated to vote for Hillary).
j) Hillary has obtained at least half, if not more, black supports than obama. Nearly 3 times more black women have indicated to vote for hillary.
GO HILARY, GO!!!!! Although I already know you are our next President.
No doubt, Mitt Romney offers the best chance to all the candidates to keep his promises on taxes and the economy. Now, if we could get him paired up with Senator Elizabeth Dole as his VP running mate, we will have a team that can actually beat the coming Clinton/Obama juggernaut. No other GOP candidate can do that.–Dr. Chartrand

Excellent idea, I am a huge fan of Liz Dole and that would be a great combination.
Two very smart and experienced candidates.
