The country is not voting for Gore. Whoever came up with this idea really is wanting to shut down our democracy.

I am supporting Obama all the way. He is gaining strength and will continue to move ahead.

I would not vote for Hillary under any circumstance.

I realy wonder what the Democrat Party Leaders are scared of.

Honestly, if roles were reversed and Obama is lagging Clinton in all the metrics – states won, Pledged delegates, popular votes, opinion polls, to mention a few, he would have since been forced out even before Texas.

The fact that very many people including the press seem to ignore this fact is equally bewildering.

CNN, I expect you to table this issue for discussion.

Also, Obama is not blocking a re-vote in FL or MI! Why is it that people only want to hear the negatives and not the positives? Obama has nothing to do with whether FL or MI gets a re-vote.

Thank the elected officials of FL & MI for the issues they have now. They decided to break the rules and they must accept the consequences.

Dave,,, it is the numbers you don't like, add them up yourself,,,facts are facts.

This should be about winning the fall election, one way we have a chance,,,the other way we wait 4 more years.

Give me a break. When did Al Gore (Mr. Personality himself) become the G-d of the Democratic Party? Doesn't he have more global warming stories to research?

Gore needs to go away already……………..dimwitted and irrelevant.

THIS WOW -COMBO WOULD GIVE US HEALTH CARE AND SAVE THE WORLD!!!!

I fear Mrs. Obama if she gets in the white house. Since she has openly stated she dislikes America. What power will she use once the First Lady. After 20 years, the beliefs of any person is deeply set in that person. Mine are.

Obama, a pure puppet! Those so called "high profile" behide him are the ONES try to gain their own power. It's enough dirty games. If Obama wins, it is tragic for DNC, it's because the real fighter is Hillary, and she went through all those bump roads.

Go Hillary! We have millions and millions behind you!
LONG LIVE HILLARY!

Who is Barack Obama?

IF Obama is the truth, I don't know what a LIAR is!

Barrack, are you afraid of counting the votes in Michigan and Florida? Looks like it.

A couple of things:

Can someone ask HRC about the cult she is a part of???

And Gore was sabotaged by HRC.

When Obama is the President of the United State, he should have a woman for VP. Not Hillary though. She will bring lots of baggage with her and she is a loser. People like her should not be awarded for behaving badly or having bad character! It reminds me of a quote "Your ability can take you to the top but it's your character that keeps you there".

Time for
a COOL
change,
GORE!!!

If Cinton is the nominee and is on the ticket with anyone else, I will vote for a Democrat. If Barrack Obama is on the ticket with Clinton I will vote Democrat. If Barrack Obama is on the ticket with anyone else I will vote Republican. Get it, all you Obama bots!

Anytime I person will lie,cheat and steal for something you can bet you can not trust them.HRC is not to be trusted, she all about Hillary.

Clinton wont overtake him in pledged delegates. Based on migration of Supers she wont overtake him in Super Delegates either…so whats left?

I am starting to like McCain better every day after listening to all the . hate monger, in your face, supporters of Barrack Obama. Sorry Hillary, but I will support Clinton by not voting for Barrack if she is not on the ticket. We will see if the big talking Barrack Obama supporters can win the election without my help. .

Alonzo, you should start a new country on a private island far away from the US and ask Pres. Bush to be your President. The country has suffered for 8 years. You're welcome to enjoy the rest of your life under George W's failed leadership.

Obama is a lying anti-American. Gore is not interested. Best Choice!

Hillary 2008! We love you! Best qualified canidate! Like Obama is going to wave a magic wand and change Washington overnight.

Gore would be far better than the three running. after him comes Clinton, than McCain and at the back of the pack is mister Inexperience the Obama Kid.

"get real" should follow the advice of his/her own handle. Has to be the most delusional poster of all time. Hey "get real", get real.

"Are you forgetting or willing to overlook the fact that Clinton wants the Michigan vote to stand as is, when Obama's name wasn't even on the ticket!!"

And, alas, you are forgetting it was Obama himself who took his name off the ballot…

I used to have a lot of respect for Al Gore–I have since lost it. To be so weak of character to run away from his responsibility in the DEM party
shows me his lack of commitment to his party. After all the Clintons did to him and he still doesn't respond–What a shame !!!!

Please go away Al.

OBAMA should put GORE on the ticket, so America can take the Global Warming issue globally…incorporating it as an item of Foreign Policy.

Residents of West Fresno
-Fresno, CA 93706

I do not think , you guys understand why Obama does not want the votes to count because his name was not on the ballots, only Hilary's name was on the ballots. When you talk about cheating who is cheating here? Hilary is not the only candiate running for president. The people have to make a choice who they want to be selected as the democatic nominee.

OBAMA 2008

OBAMA/GORE IN NOVEMBER… The Dream ticket

Global Warming is a myth… just like Bill Clinton's integrity.

The only thing Gore would bring to the table is a loss for the Democrats in November. Could you imagine the disenfranchisement of all the voters if someone, who didn't get a single vote anywhere, was all of a sudden given the nomination. I, for one, would rather sit out the election than give my vote to a "king in waiting."

Global Warming don't exist. (But bigfoot does)

To those of you out there who call global warming the biggest lie of our lifetime- kudos to you for ruining this planet for your kids and grandkids!!!!

Hats off to Gore! Atleast he has his priorities right!

Gore will not become the Democratic nominee for president and I think that is a good thing. He is opening peoples eyes about the environment. He is getting Pelosi and Gingrich together to work on the issue. He is right where he needs to be and where the environment needs him to be.

I wonder what Dubya will win the Nobel Peace Prize for when he leaves office?

Key West Sun is obviously as stupid as Tim Mahoney. Maybe they will put you on the top of the ticket.

If Al Gore is such a great choice, why couldn't he win his own state? Barack all the way!

it looks to me that in the blogosphere people are finally realizing that the ONLY person here changing rules to benefit him is BO…so well put by so many of you…AMERICA IS FINALLY WAKING UP…NO MORE OBAMA

More like "Boss Dweeb".

Only in America, could someone as stupid as Tim Mahoney get elected to office. Not only is Al Gore laughing at this idiot.

Looser should stay out

Can you say… Carbon Credit Scam?

Doesn't CNN watch 60 Minutes? He's done with the dirty game of politics.

Have you noticed lately that the Obama camp has been closing out each week with an endorcement are they doing this on purpose? Who is it gooing to be this Friday? Nancy Pelosi? If you are confident about your nomination why start faking

PEOPLE , PEOPLE , PEOPLE

when are you going to realize that it does not matter whether Obama is for or against the votes in MI and Florida. THEY DONT GET TO COUNT. This comes from the DNC not Obama the DNC. Obama could be for their votes they are still not going to count. Because the DNC said they will not count.

The same poster that decried Obama as the Pied Piper then goes on to say "let's all get behind Hillary Clinton".

Another poster sarcastically decries those who would decline to vote if Obama doesn't get nominated as being "real mature", and then goes on to say how wise it is for Clinton supporters to vote for McCain if Obama wins it.

Clintoin supporters don't even try to hide their hypocrisy. I like that!

Should Clinton succeed in stealing the nomination with the help of her wealthy backers, I look forward to seeing her compare "war" stories with McCain. (I will follow her advice and vote for the more experienced candidate)..

You gotta be kidding. Al Bore above orator Obama .No way..

Alonzo, if anyone seriously believes that Al Gore is the reason that Bush is so hates as president, they need a serious reality check. Bush doesn't need any help on that front, he's garnering the hate on his own just fine.

No Obama please.

Either Hilary or Gore. I like both of them!!

what a sad day for America…too bad we won't be voting for Gore in November.

When McCain Wins this whole thing we will have Obama and his CULT to blame!

Obama/Gore?!?! Are you kidding me? I tasted throw-up in my mouth when I read that. You Obama people are REALLY turning into a bunch of jesus freaks.

Doesn't it seem strange that millions of Americans are throwing their support to a candidate they don't even know?

After all that Hillary has said against her own party's candidate,
Obama would never be working under Hillary, or vice versa.
It just will never happen. Hillary has been a traitor to her own party!!!

I consider Al Gore my hero. Thank you Mr. Gore for the work u r doing to save the environment. I think I am going to respect u more for not taking sides between Obama and Clinton. Because some of these fools asking Hillary to step down have their own agenda. We donot need a rock star but a worker we can believe in.

Where is Michelle Obama? Not very first lady like hinding since the Wright scandal. I think I know why, she was in church listening.

Gore,

the man that knowningly and deliberately used misleading information in his "global warming documentary" 17 times as ruled by the British courts.

also the man that mindless liberals, ranting on about how Bush misled them, breathlessly want to lead them.

priceless..

The Dems need a leader. Someone who has the respect, the courage and the knowledge to step forward. Personally, I haven't a clue who that should be. In the last two Presidential elections I didn't see anyone of the older Dems showing any strength.

please just support someone

You got to be a real moron to ask that question again…

Educated people are for Obama. Women are for Hillary.

Oh, Oh, I am a educated woman for Obama 2008. I hate lies.

I don't blame All at all. The democrats have never had a unified party. You have one Democratic senator who is backing a Republican candidate and Dems have never stood together as the Republicans have. STAY in the race Hilary!

Hillary and her supporters can't keep up with their own logic since it changes so fast.

It's both hilariously funny and profoundly sad.

Democratic party, meet end of the line.

Congrats Hillary. You'll get John McCain elected in 2008 and that sets it up for you to run again in 2012. Doesn't matter that your plan is a self serving disater. It only matters that you'll get your way.

YES, YES, YES. – Gore is the answer.

Good for Gore. If only Richardson would have showed such integrity.

What deadlocked race? Obama leads Hill in pledged delegates and popular votes. It's impossible for her to overtake him. The only thing standing in the way of the voice of the people is the superdelegate question.

So now Obama is trying to "steal" the election (from some of your posts). What "reality" are you living in?? Whether it was a good decision or not, the DNC made their rules about FL and MI. The candidates signed off on it. Now Hillary wants to BREAK THE RULES.

It is Hillary who is trying to "steal" the election, people. Get a grip, you Clintonistas!!!

A vote for Obama is a Vote for McCain. Hillary all the way to the convention. No Bama in 08 or 12 for that matter. He is now exposed and falling apart. Can't wait till November to vote for McCain.

Boss Tweed? What does he have to do with it?!

Al is losing it. Aside from comments like these, just look at him – his eyes are glazed over, his mouth is screwed into something approaching the Grinch's sneer, and his beard fanatics really say it all.

If neither Hillary nor Obama can get the nomination in a manner that will make a Democratic victory a real possibility, Al Gore would be an excellent Democratic nominee. Gore received more popular votes that did W Bush in 2000 and furthermore, now that the disaster of the W Bush Presidency is self evident, Al Gore could would very likely win the Presidency (especially if the votes in Florida are truly counted).

Thanks for your consideration Mr. Al Gore.

I believe Senator Obama should be our next President, however he need your help.

Mr. Gore, support Change in Washington. Support Senator Barack Obama.

"What made you vote for Bush in 2000? I really and sincerely want to know."

FEAR of AL Gore.

Great Job Mr. Gore but you ain't supposed to be President. I'm glad you know it and I hope the Democrats get their act together.
Hillary isn't going to win but you can't tell her that……..let her stay in and if Obama loses (The Clintons will be to blame).

If awareness on global warming is bipartisan, that's news to me.

Obama is the Man.

All Hillary wants is money, property and prestige! Oh, and furniture!

Gore is not the answer.
Obama people need to look at the facts, not a dream world.
Look at the totals for the states that have voted,,,,, like it is the fall election, THE ONE WE NEED TO WIN, Obama has 192 electoral votes ,Hillary has 219. If you add in Florida and Michigan she has 263.
That is only 7 short of winning in the fall.
Folks we have got to pull together here and get the White House back, like it or not, Hillary Clinton gives us that chance.

If only Al Gore was the nominee! It would be the opportunity to make things right – oh wait – he won the first time!

Isn't this race complicated enough? People seriously want to throw Al Gore into the mess? Give me a break! It will be a miracle just to get through to November with the 2 candidates. Thank you for declining Mr. Gore – Please don't change your mind.

Good for you Al!

Jeff Radun -

"…And when they run again in the house they will be defeated for endorsing Mr Obama before their state gets to vote and chooses Hillary"

Man… I thought Hillary was running on a "let everyone vote and let the superdelegates vote however they want" platform right now. I guess she should forward you that memo… oh wait… no my mistake you probably got the real memo saying "let everyone vote and let the superdelegates vote however they want… as long as it's for me". I understand now.

Can't blame the man. He took a horrible beating the last time he got involved with politics. It's very fitting that Al Gore is now contributing hugely to benefit humanity and GWB is looking like a major looser.

The Obama campaign supporters and the press need to take a step back and let the democratic process work itself out. May the best woman win!!

Al Gore has found his place in the world. As a politician, I did not care for him; however, his work with the envriroment has been fantastic. I think he needs to stay where he is and let someone like Howard Deen, Nancy and maybe Mr Kennedy deal with this mess between Obama and CLinton. In fact Clinton and Obama need to sit down and have a heart to heart and settle this once and for all.

I have to give it to the Republicans for their strategy to win the 2008 presidential race. They have taken full advantage of technology by posting on these blogs disguised as democrats so we will start to fight each other. Looks like their strategy will work if we don't wake up.

How much more will the atmosphere pollute when Al flies alone in his private jet to the convention?
At least Don Imus takes families with terminally ill kids along with him wherever he goes.
How 'bout you Al?

Every re-count I've ever seen came up with Bush winning…
The other would have made world wide news…

Gore is done… has been since for a long time…

I wish him well making his millions on the Man Mad Global Warming scare… which in ten years will be about as popular as right guard causing the ozone issue…. (later found to be solar winds)…

At least we beat the global cooling scare of the 70s…

I do wish he'd run… at least we could here some new mud slinging from the Democrats… they are going to hand the whitehouse to McCain… which isn't a good thing

I will vote for Hillary is nominated or write her name in if Obama is nominated. I will never vote for McCain as long as he is wedded to the Bush Iraq/Economic policies. However, Al Gore would be a wonderful choice, which I saddly believe is not a viable option.

Either case — if/when Obama gets the nomination, it would be wise to start ordering your "McCain" T-Shirts, because he will be the next President of the United States. Obama simply will not pull in the moderate independents — like me. They will either stay home, write in (as I have determined to do, because I simply cannot NOT vote in a presidential election), OR, they will hold their noses on the Iraq/economic issues and vote McCain.

I do not dislike Obama — I simply have no faith in his ability to lead this nation at this time in our history — oddly, just the opposite point of view of his most ardent supporters.

You know, Gore has certainly come into his own since the 2000 fiasco of an election ( Bush/the Republicans bought that election mainly in Florida)
Gore won the popular vote in 2000 & could easily do it again. If he attaches himself to Hillary as VP I believe together they could win this election by a landslide. If everyone counts on Obama beating McCain, get real cause that won't happen.

I would like to see the Gore-Obama ticket because it would hold such promise for this country in terms of acting upon global warming, equality for all, and the real prospect of lasting peace around the world. However, if the Clinton's perception is that they are unfairly squeezed out of obtaining the nomination, I suspect Hillary may run as an independent and that would be a downright frightful thing to see for this country.

Please do not let this combative primary get in the way of our mission as democrats. Whoever gets the nomination should get our vote regardless of who we favor!

The Republican machine is ruthless and will look to exploit this situation at every turn. So if you think this is bad, just wait and see what's in store for Obama/Clinton in the ensuing months.

"are you afraid more incriminating facts will come out about Obama ,"

No one can trump the Clintons on incriminating facts. The Clintons still haven't released their taxes and or all of the schedules of when Hillary was first lady.

We all know why the Clintons waited so long to release their records last time.

Are you people serious? Obama cheated by not allowing MI and FL to revote? Clinton supported their votes not being counted until she realized that the nomination wasn't hers after Super Tuesday. MI and FL went against party rules, they knew the consequences beforehand. Then, when given the opportunity to come up with a revote solution, both MI and FL could not come up with anything that would be fair and work. Neither candidate is to blame for this, only the higher ups in MI and FL that thought it would be a good idea to get their state's delegates stripped.

Thank you, Al Gore. That's the right decision!

Hey American Girl – Obama's and McCain's wives aren't former 2-term Presidents – Bill Clinton is, that's why he gets air time.

If Clinton doesn't win the nomination, I'd vote for Gore again!

Go Al, Go Al(remix)…….LOL!!!!

Too bad that Al Gore does not want to run as a Presidential candidate, but can't say as I blame him. With his background and professionalism, he really would be good for our Country.
It will be interesting to see what takes place by convention time!

Al Gore is smart enough not to get caught up in this mess, plus I don't think he would be the "shoe-in" everyone seems to think. Everybody thought he lost in 2000 due to the Florida debacle, but it was really his failure to carry his own home state of Tennessee.

I am so glad that the Vice President is staying out of this mess. He is a very intelligent man and he has given so much to the party. He needs to continue in his role as a leader of the party.

Who are these reporters? To make a statement that this 300 million dollars is being funded mainly by the profits from Gores film and Nobel prize money is so stupid. Do your job! Get it right or get a new gig.

The Dems really blew it on this one. The one candidate that would have walked into the White House no questions asked barely got a sniff.

John Edwards was unbeatable. The Dems. went out on a limb as usually and it looks like they will pay for that in November.

I have been saying from the beginning that our party needs to bond. Obama and Clinton need to set aside their egos, and come together or our party never will. They need to lead by example. The last thing this country needs is another Republican in office, and they are setting the stage for exactly that.

To Ron:
What made you vote for Bush in 2000? I really and sincerely want to know.

After 8 years with the Clinton Administration, wouldn't you expect an almost automatic endorsement from Gore for Hillary?

So why hasn't it happened?

Is this "on the fence" approach retribution for what happened in 2000?

Or does Gore know something we don't and he's keeping that back so we decide for ourselves?

Why should the citizens of Florida and Michigan be punished for the poor decision of the DNC not to count their votes?
Hillary is a stronger candidate than Obama and would be the Democratic nominee with the victory she would have in those two states.
It doesn't seem like a fair nomination without hearing from those two states, and why anger the people of Fla. and Mi. and have them vote Republican in the fall?
Hillary 08!!!!

The Great Gore is not necessary. The DNC will be just fine, if they can get Hillary to act like an adult.

I saw something interesting the other day concerning delegate counts. They had actually looked at the current numbers from the perspective of electoral votes. Clinton actually had a significant lead over Obama. I do think this is something to be considered when the Super delegates have to make this difficult decision. Should they simply go by who one more states/popular votes/delegates even if those will most likely be Republican states in the general election?

Mr Gore is one of the most respected and distinguished politician around the world. His work is an example of REAL change and doing something fundamentaly importnat for humanity.,

So we let some dude from Florida decide that Gore should replace Barack Obama? How about you ask the PEOPLE? No, Gore is not the answer–otherwise he'd been a candidate right now.

GOBAMA!

I think Gore as a presidential candidate is a poor suggestion, as bad as McCain.

The comedy show that has become the Democrat Party of 2008 gets more surreal as time goes on. This is more fun than a barrel of monkies, especially for Republicans and Libertarians. Please, someone stop….my belly is hurting and my face is sore from smiling so much. Please, stop. LOL.

good thing he's putting this ridiculous idea to rest

The votes need to be counted- ALL the votes- even those for Hillary.

The Fl and Mi votes need to be added into the tally before we spread the illusion that Obama is leading.

This rigged election will and SHOULD implode the democratic party.

When you disenfranchise your own voters and swiftboat your best candidate… I say the heck with the party.

Side on the side of democracy, fair play, fair elections and the people's voices.

Cheat says in his/her comments, "Shame on Obama for being willing to win by cheating." Are you forgetting or willing to overlook the fact that Clinton wants the Michigan vote to stand as is, when Obama's name wasn't even on the ticket!! Do you really think it's fair to have that vote stand as is, when one of the candidates name wasn't even listed as an option? Now who sounds more desparate to win?

And who are these "thugs" you are referring to in the Obama camp? I've been following this election daily for almost a year now and I haven't seen anyone in the Obama camp who can even be mistaken for a "thug."

Bottom line is the DNC has rules and they must be adhered to; the Clintons are not above those rules. Obama is winning by the popular vote and the pledge delegates, he has no reason to cheat. Get over it!

'
The more I hear from Hillary, the better I like Gore.

Gore/Obama '08
`

No Gore – and TOP of the ticket? Are we living in lala land lately?

Im still a little confused on how Hillary Supporters think Hillary still has a shot to win via pledged delegates…and if they dont, why is it ok for her to demand that the SD's overturn the will of the people?

I have maintained all along whomever WINS the most delegates should WIN the nomination…I will vote for Hillary if she can managed to take over the lead in pledged delegates (not SD's), however i will not vote in the national election if Obama has the delegate lead and the nomination is handed to Clinton.

PERIOD. Clinton supporters who THINK the rest of the dem party will vote for her if she is handed the Nom have another thing coming.

In the end times a peace maker will come promising peace to all and goodwill to men. Enemies will come together. That is scary that Pelosi and Newt are doing an ad together. Al Sharpton and Rev. Pat Robertson on the same platform. Strange times or is the end near.

Meanwhile, North Carolina's seven Democratic House members are poised to endorse Sen. Obama as a group — just one has so far — before that state's May 6 primary, several Democrats say.

And when they run again in the house they will be defeated for endorsing Mr Obama before their state gets to vote and chooses Hillary

Hey, great idea… when no one has gotten to the arbitrary number of delegates needed without all the party elite "superdelegates", lets not look at who the most people voted for… lets just nominate someone that NO ONE voted for. Because thats how democracy is supposed to work, right?

Al Gore….one of the very very few good things out of the Clinton Administration

Some of you are mistaken.

Not all Democrats will vote for Obama out of party loyalty.

To some of us, HOW you win is as important than than the win itself.

Caucus format favored Obama.

Not counting the Fl and Mi votes favors Obama.

Getting superdelegates to abandon their purpose and vote for Obama…well, that obviously favors Obama.

Playing the race card against the Clintons in SC, favored Obama.

Playing the free speech card in support of Wright's comments favors Obama. Note: I believe in free speech and do not agree that Bill Clinton was out of line in SC, much less racist.

Calling on Clinton to quit, favors Obama.

Declaring a lead, without counting the Fl and Mi votes that are sufficient to turn the lead Over to Clinton, well… that too favors Obama.

Doesn't anyone wonder why ONLY Obama is blocking a revote in Fl and Mi?

Actually all current accounts said gore won Florida if the recounts were allowed and had he won Florida he would of had both popular and electoral votes to win the nomination. But the other points said are true it make no sense to have a person whos not even running this far into the primary to suddenly head his own ticket. That solves no problem and only creates new ones. Sorry cnn this solution seems like a filler at best….

""Obama / Gore would be the best ticket ever.""

Been there, done that. Gore has already been VP, and has no interest in doing so again.

He *might* grudgingly accept a compromise ticket with him at the top, but only if Obama were his VP. Gore would NEVER have Clinton as his VP – he knows what a miserable experience sharing executive duties with a Clinton is first hand.

""The thought of Obama in the White House is absolutely horrifying! He will NEVER win in a general election.""

If he could NEVER win the general election, then why are thinking horrifying thoughts about him in the White House?

I would never vote for Gore as President. Please, the man did well
outside of Politics and that is where Mr. Gore needs to stay.

thanks, Al. don't care that much for you and your more-holes-than-swiss-cheese inconvenient "truth", but you are right to stay out of the mess the party is in.

New controversy brewing: Church bulletin reprinted articles seen as anti-Israel
Al. Why have you not spoke out against Mr Wright

The Clintons did nothing to help Gore when he need their endorse-
ment when Gore was running for President.. ….so lay off Richardson, folks.Richardson new more than he needed to know about Hillary, and he left because he is a good man whe had the courage to leave.
What does that say about the Hillary? Someone who knows her well.

Al Gore is a very intelligent person. He is smart and he knows that America is crying for change. The type of change that can only come through 'President' Obama. Obama is leading in the polls and he is almost certainly going to be the next American President not necessarily because his presidency will be dramatically different from those of other American Presidents before him, but because unlike McCain or Hillary Clinton, Obama's election will give practical meaning to the American dream. His election as the President of the most powerful nation on Earth will inspire and give hope to everyone in the world, rich and poor, irrespective of race, religion and location. The Obama project is sweet and fresh because it inspires. It's real !!

Dear God, no.

Gore is so NOT the answer, good lord.

with the democratic party being split 50/50 this just goes back to Clinton and Obama need to run together. that is the only way to keep our party together.

Honestly, who listens to a man who believes in anthropocentric global warming?

(apparently over half of this message board, which disheartens me….)

""Obama / Gore would be the best ticket ever.""

Been there, done that. Gore has already been VP, and has no interest in doing so again.

He *might* grudgingly accept a compromise ticket with him at the top, but only if Obama were his VP. Gore would NEVER have Clinton as his VP – he knows what a miserable experience sharing executive duties with a Clinton is first hand.

What are the Obama generation afraid of? Let the rest of the voters , have their say, let them vote. 10 more weeks, are you afraid more incriminating facts will come out about Obama , to stop people from believing in his lies.

On the other hand, CNN says "yes" to recycling day old news stories broadcast on other networks!

That's modern journalism, folks!

I can't believe anyone would suggest Al Gore for the Democratic nominee after all the work and money Obama and Clinton have put into the race. I would definitely defect to McCain.

Someone actually has the nerve to say Gore tried to steal the election from Bush? Get a life will you…what planet were you on?

Why would Al Gore leave his cushy position as Savior of the Environment? It's got him more money and more prestige than the presidency would, and he can deal with the issue more effectively than from the Oval Office.

With the opportunity to bring real power to saving the earth you would think that in his position Mr. Gore would jump at the chance to have his voice heard. There is a real threat that needs a champian who is in a position to do more then just talk about. I realize that he has invested alot of his own money to make us aware of the problem, but he could do so much more from the inside compared to sitting on the fringe and pointing.

McCain is starting to look better and better, as the chances look for Obama

I don't think that Al Gore is the answer, but I do think that the democratic nominee will be neither Clinton nor Obama. My guess is that John Edwards will be the compromise candidate.

TEXAS — Experience? Look I've been married to a firefighter for 18 years, doesn't mean that I have the experience to fight fires!

Al Gore's decision to stay as far away as possible from this smell-test gone-bad of an election was the right one. And his comments are marks of the man who had the election "stolen" from him by a man who, in his ineffectiveness, still had more experience than the one who all our present congressmen are annointing without the vote of at least 10 states. Do these elected officials REALLY understand what they are doing to the detriment of our constitution and democracy?

I voted for Al Gore in 2000 and signed my name to the recent 'DRAFT GORE" petition posted online. I do hope he's still available to pick up the pieces and put them back together four years from now. Look what he has done for his country by lifting our prestige around the world with his environmental work. And I defy anyone to cite a negative act on his part, including a spotless record for him and his family. And now, compare these accomplishments to those of the front-runner in our present primary elections. "nuff said."

The Clintons just want this thing for unfinished business, its nothing about Americans, The party is more important than them, why did'nt Bill campaign so much for Gore or Kerry, they were not interested in the party, they only have selfish motives.

I hope Gore says what he means. He's far more valuable to his cause out of the political arena and actually making an impact. Contrast that to how little he and Clinton actually pushed for Kyoto when they were in power. Didn't even bring this to the Senate for ratification.

Like I have always known, Al Gore is someone who at least has a brain in his head, and I say good for him not wanting to be the go-between Hillary & Obama. Furthermore what in the heck is the problem some people are having with Hillary staying in the race? To me this is really petty and just saying remarks that she should remove herself is more harmful to the Democratic Party than anything else, in a ball game or hockey game – you do not have the right to call the game when you get ahead – it is played out till the clock runs out. To me the Obama people are bad sports and do not know how to play fair. This is one of the first rules in life, be fair.

Gore needs to stay completely away from this Issue. To become involved in such a conflict would be disastrous for both the Candidates and the Voters. .Voters will have decided upon the Candidate after the final Primary, IF Florida and Michigan Votes are counted. If these Votes are not counted, the debate should go to Convention and then to the Supreme Court.

As leader of the Democratic Party, it is Howard Dean's job to broker a deal. Last I checked, Dean was still neutral.

Hey sophia nyc… America did elect him. It just didn't count! Just like the Clintons will do everything in their power to make sure that Obama's election doesn't count. It's either Bush or Clinton…. no one else allowed.

Al Gore is a brilliant, respected man and I give him credit for staying out of this. It will work itself out eventually. This is our system at work and if someone, or a party gets bruised along the way – so be it.

Gore need not waste his time with something as irrelevant as the presidency. He is more relevant and useful in his campaign to stop global warming. That is a greater value to us.

How could Obama win by cheating if Florida and Michigan delegates are not seated? Obama followed the rules set down by the DNC, and so did Clinton…until she lagged behind in delegates. Since then, she's tried to change the rules mid-stream to gain advantage. Who's the one cheating? If Florida and Michigan wanted their delegates seated, they should have listened to the DNC and not moved their primaries up.

Well, we'll sort this out pretty quickly anyway, the winds of change seem to be picking up again after a brief llul.

Read Gore's qoute once again: " I doubt very serioualy that I'll ever be a candidate again." "I DOUBT" is not the same as saying "I WON'T."

Let's see what happens in the Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Indiana primaries.

And lastly, a reminder to Alonzo Demetrius: Bush was SELECTED by the Supreme Court and NOT elected. It was only through the disastrous poor decisions by Gore regarding the recount of the Florida votes that eventualy gave this great country the most inept and corrupted administration in US history.

Alonzo Demetrius -

All I can say is WOW! If you want to live in an oligarchy, where the people in the electoral college can make the decisions, go ahead, but not in the U.S.A. I'd like to think we are still a democracy. This government is one "of the people", not "of the electors" and the person for whom the majority of the PEOPLE vote (as represented by the popular vote) should be the president.

"If the $300 million were used to purchase compact fluorescent bulbs for many of the American households, wouldn't that make a greater difference to global warming than a commercial?"

No – because making the new bulbs doesn't increase the likelihood of people actually buying them. To do that, you either have to make them mandatory (unlikely) or inform people of the benefits of using them (which you can do by advertising on TV). Nice attempt at discrediting Gore's work, but the logic behind your rhetorical question is flawed.

Voted for Gore in 2000. Voted for Hillary in Texas Primary 2008 (twice)! I voted for experience.

Obama does not have the experience to be our next president; his endorsers want him to win so "they" can run the White House.

Democrats need to relax and chill out.

Clinton and Obama supporters need to come together – we all share the same ideals and goals. Let's stop focusing on the negatives and instead focus on the positives, like how they both support sweeping reform of our healthcare system. Either would be a wonderful departure from the current administration! We are blessed to have two excellent candidates

OK CNN; let's try this again…

Rep. Mahoney suggest: "If it goes into the convention, don’t be surprised if someone different is at the top of the ticket,” he told a Florida newspaper, adding Gore could be that choice.

WHAT???

HELLO!!!

Rep. Mahoney, certain voices in your state are presently crying foul to the DNC and Obama campaign for alienating their 'illegitimate' votes. In turn you now want to alienate 'legitimate' votes and voices by inviting Mr. Gore to play saviour to the party and country.

I see from this outlandish suggestion that you are determined to sabotage this election by "compromising" (to use your words) in effect, our democracy.

Hey Florida, your Reps broke the rules and contrary to Bill and the Hill rules were 'not' made to be broken when we deem neccesary. And the ability to suffer illegal clips and tactics is not the mark of a good leader any more than the willingness to administer such offenses. Quite the contrary. What are you teaching generations of future Americans and world citizens?

Inviting Gore to play broker-candidate would be the ultimate breach of democracy and undermine the entire process.

Truth is Barack is a blessing!

I CAN"T BELIEVE America didn't elect him in 2000. What a different place this would have been. Don't let it happen again. Elect Obama in '08!

Barack is the new Bill!!

Al Gore is probably one of the most honest men on the political stage these days. His focus is on global warming, which is a political hot potato that will take a great deal of work and dedication to help solve. He has said he's not really interested in another presidential run, nor is he interested in brokering a "deal". That's pretty savvy. Let the political process play out as it is intended to.

Hillary is behind, but only by a little bit. Unfortunately for her, unless she sweeps the rest of the primaries (extremely unlikely) she cannot win the nomination without somehow talking superdelegates to align behind her (and even then, she's just barely ahead). Michigan and Florida are no longer under consideration. She will not get those delegates.

Now, for you rabid backers of either candidate, ask yourself a question. If your candidate is so amazingly better than the other democratic candidate, why haven't the delegates aligned behind your candidate? Why hasn't the party maneuvered the other candidate into a concession speech (something parties do all the time).

If you are so rabidly for one candidate or the other, think about your motivations. If you will vote for McCain instead of the opposing candidate if he or she wins, don't you think you're playing into the hands of the Republicans (again)?

Hillary is no angel. She comes from a long legacy of near-indictments, and double dealings. Barack is not without his skeletons, either. But consider that, for all Hillary's "experience" most of it is just as real as the sniper fire she dodged in Bosnia. Also consider that Barack is older, and more experienced that Bill Clinton was when he ran for president.

At the end of the day, vote for who you think is best. But please, for the love of all that's good and reasonable, check your facts. Don't listen to the propoganda spewed by the campaigns. You have the internet at your fingertips. Go find the FACTS!

Gore has found a purpose and peace in his current field. I think he should stay there. His time may be in 4 years but not know. I would love to see him run and win…again, but he is doing more good w/o the red tape of politics. He also seems happier. He says he lost his love for politics and I believe him.

I still think the Clinton's ruined Gore.

Obama/Gore ticket would be nice being VP he should still be able to do his Global warming stuff and be seen as a strong backer for Obama.

The only reason Obama is ahead in the delegate vote is because voters didn't know that he was an intergral part of a racist church when they voted for him. Had they known, the numbers would be far different today. I am totally in shock that he is allowed to remain in this race and that he continues to get people who back him. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! He needs to step down. If a politician is asked to step down for soliciting prostitution then someone who is a part of a hate-filled racist church should be made to step down period. The thought of Obama in the White House is absolutely horrifying! He will NEVER win in a general election.

This has got to be the worst Democratic primary I have ever seen, What have we got to choose from, a very smart woman that could be a great President or a new comer we know nothing about, and then there is McCain, George W's pal, I wouldn't vote for anyone that has any respect for what the Bush's have done to our country. We need
Al Gore, on our ticket, he's the only way us Democrats have a chance to win. Please Al, we need you.

Remember he really won the last election.

Obama wasn't even on the ticket in MI and he didn't campaign in FL because the DNC already said it wouldn't count. You Clinton supporters need to face the fact that had these states played by the rules they would count. If this was the other way around and Obama needed those states you would say they shouldn't count.

Wait till Hillary wins the nomination by the Superdelegate vote, then you will all be crying "that's unfair".
Rules are rules, remember that!

Mr. Gore is wise indeed. Let that someone else be Bill Richardson and a good VP (not Clinton or Obama) and we've got a winning ticket in November.

Sorry I misspoke…watching to much Billary….it was a Nobel prise, not a Pulitzer prize…what can I say…I'm overtired!!!!

I voted for Gore, Bush won. That election left an awful taste in my mouth, that has not quite totally deminished. The superdelegates have a daunting task ahead of them. The states of Florida and Michigan may not have delegates, but they had millions of people who voted. The superdelegates will have no choice but to consider those votes in their decision. The convention is up for grabs. I am sure the superdelegates would prefer not to have to decide this race. It will be very interesting to say the least….

Anyone capable of making tons of money off this "global Warming" fraud should be able to defuse this Dem nomination problem!!!

Commented wrong one.. Anyways run a spellchecker.

William M. Tweed, was "Boss Tweed"
He was a Democract (Representative) later Senator
He Was dishonest and mispoke
He defrauded tax $ from US citizens (millions and millions of $)
Died in jail

We used to have justice for this type of thing and now we just have
Pardons in there place. IE Marc Rich

Gore is not the answer…….

Obama & Clinton are the only option for the Democrats….

Mr. Al Gore is a wise man. I feel his focus on global warming is fare more reaching than being just a politician. He must be doing something good if he was honored with a Nobel prize. (Throwing a third candidate (as I'm sure Mr. Gore is aware of) into the race at this stage would be like throwing a large stick into the spokes of a wagon wheel as the wagon is racing down the hill to get to the finish line. Besides, if he was interested, I think he would of been on the campaign trail earlier than this.

If the $300 million were used to purchase compact fluorescent bulbs for many of the American households, wouldn't that make a greater difference to global warming than a commercial?

CNN Producers,

Last week, you TRUMPETED Clinton's re-emergence in the Gallup Poll. Why is there NOTHING on the fact that Obama has regained the lead and in a commanding fashion.

I am so sick of the way Hillary Clinton has been treated by the press and the DNC… I guess the "Good ole Boys" can't stand the thought of having to take orders from an experienced,intelligent woman.

They would rather have an inexperienced, "pig in a poke"… It is really sad…. remember guys…. The women of America are watching closely and will remember long after the election is over

The Obama supporters do not understand how democracy works.

The superdelegates were created for a reason and a purpose. Look it up and find out for yourselves. They are not there simply to reinforce the popular vote- especially an illegal vote for Obama.

The people of Fl and Mi- no matter how you slice it- would vote for Hillary Clinton. That is why only Obama wants to block the revote. That is cheating and he will suffer for it in the end.

The caucus format further advantaged Obama and handicapped Hillary. The superdelegates must factor it all into their decision.

-If you want a truth seeker and people uniter vote Obama!

-If you lies and underhanded deals and someone who will support the elite and those in power so they stay in power vote Hillary!— what common person in the street would ever vote for her? There are more of us commone people in the US then there are rich so we can over throw the same old same old, that is what Hillary stands for!

Don't be fooled!

VOTE OBAMA!!

Hmmmm…. "President McCain".

Get used to hearing that folks. You'll be hearing it for four years…

If you want a truth seeker and people uniter vote Obama!

If you lies and underhanded deals and soemone who will support the elite and those in power so they stay in power vote Hillary!— what common person in the street would ever vote for her?

Don't be fooled!

VOTE OBAMA!!

Gore is not impartial anyway. He has an axe to grind against the Clintons and whether that's warranted or not he's not in a position to be impartial. Actually there are very few people left who could be.

Funny how no one thinks of the logical choice, the head of the Democratic Party. Dean should just mediate. I'm no fan of his, but he has remained neutral and for Christ's sake, it's his job!

check for typos.

Funny how they call on Gore and not Dean. Just shows that Dean is a poor leader in the DNC. Way to go Dean, Nice job. NOT!!!

Obama/ Gore Gore/ Obama Win win I think. The GOP would eat Clinton up. It's time for Hillary to drop out and help fight for us on the inside.

Gore has a duty to step in and take charge of a party that is threatening to come apart. Enough of all this coy "I'm not a candidate" stuff. Putting this country back on a sound footing would be far more rewarding than any Nobel/Oscar and he'd have the ultimate bully pulpit for his global warming cause. Run Al, run!

Mr. Gore, ask not what your country can do for you….Ask what you can do for your country. Come to the aid of your countrymen, put and end to the Obama and Clinton squabble. Your endorsement alone would send the biggest message of all. Forget Boss Tweed or any other ficticous person, get real and end the drama and trauma.

I'd love to see Al Gore run for president in 2008 – especially if Hillary and Obama wind up in an essential "draw." Gore would win in a walk , and a very serious wrong would be righted.

Al Gore is going to stay out of it.The Dems all laughed at him in the years after Bush and the Supreme Court stole the election from him. He's having the last laugh now,what with a Nobel prize and an Oscar. And why would he rejoin those amateurs like Pelosi and Dean?

If GORE can sit HILLARY /OBAMA down and let them sought things out themselve is ok but for him GORE to want to come into the race thats unfair

Larry you sure don't know jack about Obama. What an idiot you are! Obama is not ready? So Hillary is ready because she was the former first lady..pls go eat some sand.

note to strongarm

Clinton will disenfranchise millions of even more voters, if she has superdelegates and the credentials committe decide this rather than it being decided by the fact that Obama has more popular votes, more pledged delegates and more states won, i doubt anybody will be "strongarmed" into electing Obama. Get REAL!

WAKE UP AMERICA

OBama 08

I believe that Al Gore is a great man and he should have been our president for the past eight years-BUT- he is not the solution to bring the democrats together. his time has come and gone. it is time for something new!!

GO OBAMA!!!

Hillary and Obama were on a boat. The boat sank. Who got saved???

America

Love the idea of Gore/Obama or Obama/Gore. MI and Fl delegates are to blame for the mess in those states and Clinton signed an agreement stating she would not run in those states. She changes the rules to suit herself and if she is really interested in democracy, why is she stating that pledged delegates don't really have to be "pledged". Whatever suits her needs on any particular day is what she is preaching. If not Obama, McCain is who I'll vote for. NEVER A CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see "Flori-dah" learned to spell. Perhaps you should educate yourself further, like on the topic of global warming. It is a well-documented reality that some people choose to ignore, thinking it will go away. I pray there will be something left for your great grand-children. They will thank those of us who are doing our part by recycling and saving energy.

Which is a leader? He who takes bold decisions when needed or someone who is waiting for the problems to be resolved so that he can align himself with the winner?
John Edwards, Al Gore etc. are striping off the word "lead" from "leader".

AL Gore belongs where he is at….

Obama is no longer a viable candidate (no way to win the General Election)

Al and others should come forward and show their support for Hillary!

Stop being a whimp!

Gore's smart enough to know he doesn't have to handle Hillary & Obama.

Good thing Howard Dean didn't get elected a few years ago, he's doesn't look like he can handle 2 senators, much less the entire congress and the country as a whole.

Obam/ Gore? please…. may be Gore/ Obama but I doubt it. Here is my prediction. Obama wins nomination. McCain wins presidency. 4 years in the white house then Clinton wins in 2012.

Obama is just not ready. I am not repeating the Clinton rhetoric but look at what he has done – run for office and giving speeches. Period. Given his short time in the us senate he has been one of the most unproductive senator.

Obama is a lot of hype especially because the young people don't care about history and what it takes to be a president. Let' me "break it down" for you young people… If you have seen 24 the tv show. W bush was the first president logon because of his lack of experience, if obama wins he would be the next president logon. Especially because he would be dealing with oil prices and the economy.

Unfortunately Al Gore does not have to apply for brokership, by nature of his past experience and performance he is ethically obliged to help facilitate this process.

Boy if the party elites and DNC try to strongarm us into electing Obama, while they disenfranchise Millions of Clinton votersby NOT counting their votes- The democrats will pay for it in Nov.

Get Real Democrats!
The quickest way to lose the general election is to put a man who was not part of the process as your candidate. How is that democratic?

Sen Clinton's supporters obviously have no respect for rules, else they would not be still talking about FL and MI.

The solution is that all the super delegates should start making their choices known. That will end this charade.

Irreparable damge has been inflicted on the Dems and will not heal by November. At this point the only prayer is to put a new name at the top of the ticket.

Sir Hillary, could use your endrosement.

Gore: ""I'm trying to stay out of it."

Uh huh. You keep on trying, Al. Try really, really hard.

I see a Clinton- Edwards or Obama- Edwards ticket before I see Gore on either one of them.

Bill Maher brought up a good point on his show last week….if you think about it, Obama upsetting the Clintons is a huge political accomplishment. Maher pointed out the first few months of the race Obama wasn't even listed as a candidate on many news outlet sources because no one considered him a threat. I'm sure the super delegates who know the Clinton Machine first hand, will consider this in their votes.

No one, not even Obama or Hillary, is LESS qualified to be President than Al Gore.

PLEASE somebody make a correction to this sentence…

"His name continues to get mentioned as a Democratic elder who cold hammer out a resolution in his party's deadlocked presidential…"

I think the word cold should have been COULD…

How can Obama be stealing the election? Rules were agreed upon. If Obama was behind he would stick to the rules and not even push to have Florida and Michigan counted. Anyway, I guess it is to much for some people in the U.S. to have a real person in the White House. Have any of his doubters read either one of his books?

I think that Al Gore has more than proven time and again that his strength IS NOT in the political arena. I think he would do well to continue to stay out of it. Push the global warming agenda, but leave the politics to those who have a chance of running a winning campaign, please.

Great… All we need is Al, perpetuating the greatest lie of our lifetime, global warming, running for president. Hey Al, instead of wasting your time on the farce of global warming, why don't you do something useful like getting Hillary's campaign to pay their bills!!!

That woman, Ms. Clinton, can't manage her campaign's money – how can she manage the country's???

McCain / Rice '08

I believe Al Gore's statement that he is not interested in becoming President. The issue of Global Warming is his life at present. And I feel it is a cause worthy of his Great Ambitions.

Clinton would not win MI.

The Clintons will really turn Repulican if Gore is seen as the Senior Statesman, that he really is! The Clintons left Gore in a mess when he ran.

President Clinton needs to get ZERO air time…. You do not see McCain's or Obama's wives on TV. Stop letting Hillary skate on Bill's name and legacy.

Hillary and Bill divided the party when he was immoral in the white house and made side deals.

Bush/Clinton just need to retire and leave politics alone/… Clinton is too blindsided to see that Obama is the now generation!. '

I am of the mind that either Obama or McCain are the best means of change. I am an Obama support and organizer but I will not vote for Hillary even as a democrat. SHe has shown true selfishness in this election.

Liar, Liar under Sniper Fire!
NowShe is the Fairy Tale Candidate

I think Al Gore would regret it if he got into this as some kind of "broker". He is not. I like him a lot, but I think he should stay out of it.

I would like to see Gore endorse Hillary Clinton, though.

Go Hillary!

The true democrats are a dying breed.

Now we bully and cheat our way into a nomination.

Obama should only win fairly.

The caucus format is not fair.
Throwing away Clinton's votes in Fl and Mi is not fair.

Playing the race card and calling the Clintons racist (NOT true) and then justifying Wright's comments as freedom of speech is not fair.

Lets all play by the same rules.

COUNT THE VOTES.

I love Obama, but I'd take Gore at the top of the ticket anyday.

We need to address the climate change problem effectively and a soon as possible.

Great… All we need is Al, perpetuating the greatest lie of our lifetime, global warming, running for president. Hey Al, instead of wasting your time on the farce of global warming, why don't you do something useful like getting Hillary's campaign to pay there bills!!!

That woman, Ms. Clinton, can't manage her campaign's money – how can she manage the country's???

McCain / Rice '08

Please take note that Al Gore never said he would refuse to be compromise canidate. The fact is that if he accepts the nomination and runs, he will win the general election by a huge majority. The left loves him and the center (independent voters) wish he had won in 2000. Even though McCain is popular among the center, Gore will get the majority of independent votes, and that is what is needed to win the general election. The Obama and Clinton campaigns refuse to believe the fact that neither of them will ever get the majority of the center's votes in the general election. Both of them are way to left for the center to ever vote for them in the general election. Sure they got their own party going nuts for them, but the general election is a totally different monster. Obama will be an easy target and get eaten alive by the Republican machine and Clinton, well the name alone speaks for itself. Now, I am neither a Dem or Rep, I am a realist. Gore runs he gets my vote. If not, it is McCain. For the leftist Clinton Obama lovers out their this is how more than half the nation feels. Deal with it!!! Go for it GORE!!!

Chill out and Stay out
let the race go we will know the democratic nominee by August
If Obama nominee Mc Cain is next president
If Hillary nominee Hillary is next president
So again chill out
In November we will come to know Hillary or Mc Cain

Yes, Al Gore is the answer.

If Gore had won his own state of TN, Florida would not have mattered.

Alonzo forgets that after the election in 2000, only crackpots were yelling about anything being 'stolen'. And right after 9/11, Bush had an approval rating as high as any sitting president. It wasn't because of Gore that people dislike Bush. It's because of the man himself.

"It was a horrible lie," said 29-year-old Midhat Efendira.

Like most Bosnians, he expressed a deep appreciation of Bill Clinton for his role in ending the war. But he found Hillary Clinton's remarks intolerable.

"It was a low blow," he said. "She did it to gain sensational publicity."

Efendira said that Bosnians are closely following the US presidential race and that Hillary's remarks have damaged the formerly untouchable Clinton name in the country.

Sead Numanovic, the deputy editor-in-chief of Bosnia's largest newspaper, Dnevni Avaz, laughed at Sen. Clinton's account of the alleged sniper fire and her claim that she "misspoke."

"My first thought was, she must be kidding," he said. "When someone threatens your life, you don't make a mistake."

Numanovic said his paper has not even bothered to cover the story.

"We don't have space for someone's lies," he said. "Why is she so stupid? It doesn't portray her as a real leader."

The DNC won't need Gore as deal breaker because the Clinton campaign staff will be urging her to drop out well before the convention. Her campaign is already in debt even with the so called largest states, it shows that there is no enthusiasm for her campaign, just people voting for what they are familiar with.

I can't see plugging Gore in as the Presidential nominee being a good idea for the Democratic Party. While he may be a strong candidate, you'd have everyone upset. If Gore can be nominated, despite not having ANY delegates, the Clinton supporters whill wonder why she can't get it with less delegates than Obama. For the Obama supporters, they'll wonder why their candidate won the nomination fair and square, yet was unseated by Gore.

The comment above regarding Gore "trying to steal the election" is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. Florida's votes, properly counted, would have given the election to Al Gore. This is known fact, and is indisputable. Please stop posting fantasies.

If Hillary loses it is because she was screwed out of the nomination by Obama's thugs and the DNC.

That's right- sabotage the woman candidate.

We want a fair election.

Count the voted in Fl and Mi- we all know who won there and who would win there and who will win there.

Shame on Obama for being willing to win by cheating.

It's too bad that Gore won't run. I'm pretty tired of the Clinton/Obama road show and to vote Republican would only continue the Bush Reign of Disaster. Though I'm glad that this term is finally almost over, I don't look forward to the choices so far on the November ballot!

I applaud any democrat in this rigged election who is willing to allow the people to vote.

We all know that Hillary would win Fl and Mi if their votes were counted. They are 10% of the democratic vote.

We support fair and honest elections.

We support Gore, Edwards and Bill Clinton for trusting the people to vote.

Down with Obama and his supporters for trying to steal this nomination.

Mr. Gore is not running for President . He could help by insisting Hillary release her 2000 through 2006 tax returns so the voter's have a chance to see her financial history. Hillary is waiting until April to release her 'cleaned up' 2007 return.

Very smart interview on Al Gore's part. However it doesn't take a rocket scientist,to know he's not in the Clinton camp.
I still believe when it comes down to it Gore will play a role in the nomination process. No true democrat regardless of the candidate you support wants to see the party divided.

Gore understands what it is like to have the election stolen from yhou.

Now the DNC and the party leaders are trying to steal the nomination from Hillary Clinton by suppressing her votes in Fl and Mi.

Really who do you think would win if those 10% of the democratic voters got to vote?

That is why Obama is blocking the revote.

I trust the judgement of Edwards and Gore and Bill Clinton- they are willing to let the voters decide.

The best ticket would be Gore for president and Clinton or Obama for vice-president.

Obama could then get the experience he needs to be president.

Gore knows he would have taken action as president in 2001 to stop 9/11.

I am sure Gore feels even worse now that Obama worshiped in a church that blames the US for 9/11 and lets Hamas and extreme Islamic groups publish their anti-American, anti-Israel dogma on Obama's church website.

To elect Obama is to dishonor the 3000 dead in 9/11. What has our country gone to.

Only one person truly represents everyone especially the victims of 9/11, the senator of New York Hillary Clinton.

To Hillary and the 3000, win for America.

This great man is wise beyond his years…

Ok Americans wake up and smell the roses, Obama has no ideas of his own. How do you propose he will get t his country back the respect it so deserves? Hilary is the only candidate fit to lead, on a political as well as national level.
If only someone in the DNC would fire Howard Dean, maybe we would have a candidate by now and the votes of the meaningfull people who made an effort in Michigan and Florida would count!

Clinton supporters, a question for you:

According to you, Sen Clinton is more democratic than Sen Obama because of her insistence on counting the Florida and Michigan primary (let's leave to that for the purpose of the question), yet her only path to victory is by asking the Superdelegates to overturn the will of the people by choosing the candidate who will have won less states, less pledged delegates and less popular vote?
That being said, care to explain your position ?

In what way would Gore be a good idea? Given the mood of the country in 2000 he should have been swept into office with a 20-point landslide, but instead his pride led him to run away from the Clinton shadow [and record], his campaign was so poor that he was left with such a victory squeaker that it could be stolen by Republicans in Florida. Both Clinton and Obama are better candidates than Gore. Commentators should look for an issue to learn about and discuss, rather than take the simple route of talking about what all the other commentators are talking about.

Al Gore is no John Adams.

No matter what he tells you.

Let this primary work itself out. The fact is that it is working exactly as it should be working.

It is obvious that those who are calling for Clinton to drop out have their own agenda and are trying to disrupt the process. As for the average voter who backs Obama, don't you know that the popular vote doesn't necessarily choose the president? Gore had the popular vote, Bush became president, Nixon had the popular vote, Kennedy became president. This is how it works.

Those that say the superdelegates should go with the flow obviously don't know that the supers can vote whichever way they please.

So, please stop calling for Clinton to backoff. it is all of you who should back off and let this process go as it should, after all, we are not talking about a large margin here, and we still have ten states primaries to go. Even if Obama ends up with a few more delegates, the supers can overturn that, that is their right.

I have the upmost respect fro Mr Gore!

I just wish I was not so naive in 2000 when I voted for Bush. Everytime I think about it now I get sick to the Stomach. All I can do now is make my voice heard once again. No more repubs for a while!

My first choice is Obama but I a mstill on thefence about Mrs. Clinton. I really do not like her politics but if it is close I will bite my tongue for the Dem. I jsut hope the Primary is over soon

While it does make some sense for Gore to stay neutral, the phrasology of some of his comments on the subject is questionable.

"It will work itself out" … yes, it will, but the process has already greatly damaged both candidates.

… however, I understand that Mr. Gore's direction in life has diverged from election politics, and so I can be patient in that regard… but I really wish more top party officials had the guts to mediate and decide things.

Obama / Gore would be the best ticket ever.

Thank you Mr. Gore for workin to save our planet!!!! The work that you do goes beyond our nation and it's politics. You are a leader in the world!!!!

As Democrates, we need to come together and get a Democrate in the White House so that Mr. Gore and the new President can restart global efforts for stopping Global Warming!

Yes We Can – END GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!!!

We feel more will start voting for Clinton. We were first for Obama, but not now. Too 'star struck' and will say anything to be in the news….even if it's not political related. This concerns us. All our family is now for CLINTON.

VP Gore is at least smart enough to know that he helped divide this country 8 years ago by trying to steal the election from the man who garnered the most electoral college votes, Pres Bush. Gore caused such great hatred to spring up around the country toward a sitting president that it is shameful for this nation. I think Mr Gore knows that he would be at least as unpopular of Pres Bush, should he try to run for a national office again. Believe it, that there are plenty of us around who remembers exactly what happened election night 2000 and the following months, not just having to rely on liberal bloggers and media to tell us, and we all vote.

Mr Gore doesn't want to have to serve under the same conditions of hate toward himself that he fostered toward Pres Bush, and we shouldn't blame him for that.

Wonder if the Clinton's completely burned the bridge they have to Gore by playing the role of Judas during his run for Prez in 2000?

If he can get Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson to work together, then brokering a deal between Clinton and Obama would be a walk in the park.

I think the only people mentioning Gore's name for this are you in the media CNN. Seriously, I don't know any rank and file democrats who think this would be a good idea.

If the man can bring Newt and Nancy together… That is worth another Nobel prize.
