McCain does not need screaming Hillary women to win this election. We will win with out your help. We want nothing to do with Hillary or her supporters.

McCain 08,12

fascinating, the Obama people will now be grapling at straws, if they should follow this thought process…Its incredible a field of 20..thats sheer lunacy

Senator Obama should consult with his VEEP committee prior to making any decisions as to who or who should not be his vice president. Whatever you do Senator Obama, make sure that the final decision you make is yours. Do the best that you can in this race for president and when you win, make the country even prouder of you than it already is. You had the "audacity to hope" and we are sure that any decision that you make from here out will be based on (1) faith, (2) hope, (3) love for the country, (4) integrity, (5) wisdom, (6) knowledge, (7) intelligence and all that is necessary to make a GREAT PRESIDENT. God bless you and God bless America.

Really James…..?

From I remember you didn't take well to Al but maybe you want to cause conflict with Gore and the Obama campaign.

If you ask me, Gore should not be anyone's VP, if he's not the President (which he was with very little support from you, thank you very much) then he should be a very well paid advisor.

I think that Barack Obama should choose Colin Powell as his VP choice.

This may be the only time I've ever agreed with James Carville.

How bout President Gore and VP Obama?

Yes I think this is a great idea maybe this time he would actually get to be the Vice this time, we all know Who made that impossible for him the last time! Ah come on you know who Who is!!

Pssssst Hillary!

Al Gore is very OLD news even if he is a very bright, forward thinking individual, it would be a disaster for Obama to even consider him. He just doesn't have a lot of the qualities that Obama needs to compliment him in this politcal race. Secondly, Gore has no charisma, ….etc. Forget that idea.

Unless Obama picks Hillary, he doesn't have a snowball's chance. Why would Hillary people NOT support Obama, but choose McCain?? It's very simple to understand. McCain is a little to the right of center, Hillary is a little to the left. Obama is so far left with his radical friends, he's in another ballpark. No Obama!!! The few million we are talking about are the "Reagan Democrats" who would have loved to be Democrat again with Hillary, but just cannot accept far left!!!!

He knows better to get involved with Obama.

Hmmm… very interesting.
Lets Go Dems!!!

Al Gore would be perfect! but i dont see him running as VP again

For those who are hawkish and support military action like McCain anywhere, at anytime, are not at all in a full understanding of the situation, we, America faces with radical Islam.

Fighting an idea or ideology can not be attacked by war. It is like fighting the Flu every year with Chicken Soup. It may feel good but it doesn't cure the body. The body fights the infection on its level, counteracting its invasion at the cellular level.

Only another idea or belief spread virally can counteract an ideology. These ideas to counteract must be embodied and put forth through foreign policy.

Give me the thinking man/woman who will seek to understand why a culture would have hatred against us, Western life, in order to enact a foreign policy to remove the hatred and safeguard our security.

At the end of the day, chicken soup is just chicken soup and ineffective. You can slurp it all you want, but the flu or a viral belief can only be counteracted with another entity (belief) that can absorb and diffuse it. I'm not saying Islam is a virus or even radical Islam is a virus but rather ideas are propagated like virus and the body politic follows the commands like instructions being dropped from the nucleus.

I'm not too sure

Gore President and Hillary VP on the (I) ticket. I am a hard-core conservative and would rater see anything but Obama

This is truely a pipe dream. Why in the world would Al Gore want to be Obamas' VP? I know he would add a bunch to the ticket and he could usurp Obama big time. Obama needs someone who would not over shadow him and I say good luck with that one. I just hope Hillary won't do it. It is so sad when we have a nominee who needs a big name to try to win in November. Richardson sure helped him in Puerto Rico didn't he? LOL Maybe Kerry would be his running mate, no that won't do, he already lost once as head dude. How about Carter, he has already met with Hammas. No, he was president once already and we know how that worked out. Oh well, I'm sure he'll come up with someone.

It is unlikely that Mr. Gore serving as Obama's VP would suit either. Mr. Gore will no doubt however have a major role in energy use, global warming legislation and policy, and perhaps in foreign affairs. Whether this will be formal or informal is up to both of them.

Hell No! Carville you are such an instigator!

I'm sure he'd accept but NEXXXXXT…keep looking! Give him a cabinet level position but not VP. Keep looking for the absolute best person that synergizes with you, has the energy and vision.

They should have Gore for President, and Obama as VP.

That's more appropriate.

I don't get why not put Gore at the top of the ticket. The votes at the convention can just go to a second ballot with a few delegates abstaining, and then give it to Gore, who unlike Obama, is qualified to be President, and have Obama on the ticket. As a Clinton supporter, I actually wanted Gore as a first choice. He was smart enough not to smear his name by going against Obama and being dubbed a racist, so I went to Hillary. Gore for Prez.

I AM FOLLOWING JAMES CARVILLE'S STATEMENTS AND COMMENTS ON CNN AND OTHER VENUES BECAUSE HE IS AND HAS BEEN CLOSE TO THE CLINTONS FOR YEARS. NOT ONLY IS HE VERY RELIABLE BUT VERY LOYAL TO THE CORE. IT'S GREAT THAT CNN HAS HIM AS CONTRIBUTOR TO ITS BIG NAME ROSTER
OF NEWS CONTIBUTORS. IN HIS LATEST APPEARANCE ON CNN HE ONLY MENTIONED AL GORE AS A POSSIBLE CHOICE FOR OBAMA. HE DID NOT MENTION NOR ADVOCATE FOR HILLARY, WHICH TO US MEANS MORE THAN WHAT HE IMPLIES BY THE OMISSION.

Next…Keep looking. He'd accept if offered but give him a cabinet position somewhere but not VP.

Clinton had 8 years as President and Gore had 8 years as vice president … did they make us any less dependent on oil or just keep the status quo? It doesn't matter whether a Republican or Democrat was in office, we haven't had a real energy policy in the last 40 years. Congress must shoulder just as much blame. It's not about the well being of our country but greasing the hands of the special interests groups while our soldiers die for the well being of a few.

NO! There are much better people out there.

I think that Al Gore would be an excellent selection for Sen. Obama's VP.

Obama/Gore '08..

That would be GREAT

Al Gore needs to be on the top of the ticket. What an insult!

I almost feel Mr. Gore took on the enivormental hero view point because it was the only field that was left that he did not mess up.
Even Mr. Clinton said he felt more comfortable talking to George Bush for 20 minutes then all the time he spent with Gore.
He preaches "Green" yet drives SUVs and has a house that produces a larger energy bill than some rural towns.
I personally think there are a half dozen candiates better suited for the job than Mr. Gore. He will always be in the spot light. Let someone else with a more realistic view point that stands by there word be in the office.

I THINK AL GORE WOULD BE TAKING A STEP BACKWARD IF HE RAN WITH OBAMA AS VP. OBAMA DOES NOT DESERVE SUCH A FINE PERSON AS AL GORE.

FROM AN X DEMOCRATIC

Of course Al Gore would make an excellent VP. He would make and excellent president. However, I doubt that he would want the job. I wish he would but can't imagine he would. I think he would be on the list if there was any indication he would accept.

James Carville read my mind! The Obama-Gore ticket would be a force to be reckon with….Gore has experience, intergity, and a green thumb. As far as needing a foreign policy expert…appoint one to his cabinet. I admit I was bitter with the Clinton campaign. With HOPE comes forgiveness; therefore I say appoint HIlliary to lead the first for healthcare.

Obama-Whomever 08

Michelle, Chicago

Anyone would be better than McCain, in fact, google his name and "alzheimer" and see what comes up. Do we want a president with that dreadful disease?

If Al would do it, it would be good.

ManBearP

Gore would be a great addition to the ticket… but why would he want that spot? He has already held that position for 8 years. He has been much more successful outside of DC - and he will continue to make a difference outside of Washington - he doesn't need to be VP.

I think Al Gore is above being merely concerned about his stature. Look what he could achieve! Congress etc. seems to be filled with folks looking out for themselves and abandoning their duties as public servants. Yes, I think Mr. Gore is beyond that. We need someone who truly cares.

Considering that most scientists think Gore is a blooming idiot, I guess he would fit right in with Carville's gang. I just hope Carville gets to give Obama a whole lot of suggestions and advice. That should give him all the expertise he needs to be just as successful as Clinton, Bill that is. Oh yeah, I forgot. He wasn't much of a success at all for the US, but he sure did line his own pockets. Well, that'll probably suit the Obamas just fine too.

I am busting a gut on this one. Al Gore is a loser. A windbag tied to another windbag is not exactly a good thing. Democrats need to find candidates with Character, integrity and experience in real life, not political speech making.

Yes. There is no doubt that he would make an excellent President or Vice President but I doubt that he would want to be VP again.
If only?

I think this would be a wonderful choice. If Al Gore would accept. It seems that VP's carry a bit more clout these day's since Cheney really runs things behind the scene's. However I believe Obama and Gore would work well together wihout Gore overshadowing the other. He brings years of experience and a new found wisdom that would serve Obama well!!!!! Please both of you consider it!

Isn't he constitutionally restricted?

WHAT WOULD A DISTINGUISHED NOBEL PRIZE WINNER BE DOING ON A TICKET WITH BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA UH UH??

HE HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE TO CHOSE FROM i.e. OPRAH, REV. WRIGHT, FARRACKAN, REZKO -THE LIST GOES ON.

LEAVE AL GORE ALONE MR. CARVILLE

So Carville wants to reward Gore because he was cheated out of the presidency. We all know that Gore won the first election, but it was given to bush by the courts and that woman in florida. Gore was encouraged to accept the decision for the good of the country. bush, the dumbest person I have ever seen - I don't know how he walks upright - has made a real mess of this country; now they want Gore to have fun in straightening it out! I think he would make a good Vice President, but let us not forget - the presidency was stolen from Gore.

Who cares what Carville says…………everybody knows he's an idiot!

Obama/Clinton 08 DEMS UNITE!!!

I would have loved a Gore-Obama ticket. However, the idea of the former vice president agreeing to run again as vice president is unrealistic. This is especially true since Gore himself stated that he is unlikely to re-enter the political arena, but that if he did it would only be for the presidency. Thus, Gore has pre-emptively ruled this out already.

Simply the worst possible choice of Vice Presidential candidates that I ever could conceive of!!!
If he were energy czar, the oil and gas companies large and small and for that matter most industry would pack up and leave so fast it will make your head spin!!!
Al Gore and his brilliant "Nobel Prize" winning concepts of Global Warming are enough to discourage even the most ardent Obama supporter.
Trust me, Obama would lose the votes of thousands and thousands of scientists like myself, who would have otherwise voted for him.
This Global Warming stuff is about to be relegated to the waste heap of history within 2 years. Gore is going to look like more of an abject idiot than he already does very very soon.
I support Obama because he has innate intelligence and ability, if he were to appoint Gore that opinion would change to ZERO support!

I disagree Al Gore do not need to get involved in Obama's lies, Obama is benefiting from Hiliary's endorsement , which she should not have done, Obama is fooling the people in America, who are so easy to fool, and are very gullible people.

Carville is trying to be provocative in EVERY sense. How can you run on the platform of change and invite the past onto your ticket? As bright and insightful as Carville has been and can be, these guys talk way too much and think way too little.

Who cares what Carville……….everybody knows he's an idiot!

No I don't think it's a grand idea although I would like to see Mr. Gore at some important post in the Obama administration, he'a a brilliant man. Carville's suggestions have to be taken with a grain of salt because he's all over the map in this past campaign, flipping and flopping all around tooting his annoying horn.

I totally agree with Mr. Carville. The US has lost so much respect in world arena, that what better way to restore it than with a universially respected elder statesman like Al Gore. Brilliant Idea!

Clint Williams

Gore is a great man, no matter what hateful things McCain and the Repubbies say.

I totally agree with Mr. Carvelle. The US has lost so much respect in world arena, that what better way to restore it than with a universially respected elder statesman like Al Gore. Brilliant Idea!

Clint Williams

James Carville is a freekin jerk, I'm embaressed that he was ever allowed in the USMC. We must have been scraping the bottom of the barrell at that time.
As for Prince Albert of Carthage….. let him go keep warming his global or whatever it is he does.

absolutely needs him, he has already been elected President and didn't get it.

Carville, you stupid fool! Why would Gore accept the VP spot when he rejected President spot. Carville is an idiot.

If my respect for Mr. Gore is well-founded, he would not care that accepting the veep is a "step down" careerwise. Quite possibly the biggest threat facing this country in the next twenty years is our dependence on foreign oil. It has both economic and national security implications, and I'm prepared to "waste" my vote on Nader if I'm not satisfied that Obama is aggressively addressing this issue head on.

Please, Obama, tap Gore for Veep, or someone else with an extremely aggressive alternative energy plan. In the meantime, your refusal to accept lobbyist money is pretty darn cool.

Hello American People!

Well, it will be very difficult for Obama to pick up a VP because all the potential candidates has more experience and capacity that Obama…

God Bless America!!!!

Love to see Gore on a ticket with Obama. Gore couldn't even win his own state—how weak is that? Anything to bring Obama down is a
plus.

I and my friends are writing in for Hillary so we couldn't care less who
the woos/appeaser selects.

jose, don't YELL

Carville needs to shut the heck up!

Any true democrat would like to see Gore as VP. But I must say that I don't believe he would accept, seek, or even consider it. Al Gore is a great man, but he got the shaft in his run for the presidency in 2K. Look, the Republicans and the Bush Administration pulled off a Political Coup. Not once, but twice. You can't blame him for not wanting to fiddle with this crap again. And I'll tell you this, if you think that they can't pull something like that off and get away with it, take a step back and look at all the numb-skulls who believe what the republicans tell them. It's funny how Fox News seems to be their only source of information. Wow, we sure are on the fast track…TO NOWHERE!

YEAHHHH
THATS IT….
I JUST FIGURED IT OUT..

mC cANE REMINDS ME OF ELMER FUDD… !!

lol.. :p

No Gore!!

NoBama!!!

Period!!!

FDR served three terms and had begun a fourth when he died, which actually puts him over Gore, were he to be VP three times.

I think obama needs to thik this very seriously and decided between Al Gore and Hillary Clinton as VP.

THAT, would be awsome! That would bring the Democratic party togather and the GOP will be running for their money, because they KNOW he won 2000 and they know the people remember and won't let another Bush win again (Mccain we all know is another Bush, maybe even more extreme, and for the women he's said he wants to undo row vs wade).

I hope Barack Obama choose Reverend Wright as his running mate.

McCain '08!!!!!!!

Gore would make a great choice, but, really, Obama has a lot of good people to choose from. My initial impression is that Gore or Bayh would be best. I'm also a fan of Bill Richardson.

Personally, if Obama picked Gore as VP, I'd vote for that ticket.

why would he do that I fhe wanted a public office he would of tried for the pres. again

No way.He is a coward.He wouldnt even fight the vote in 2000.

Good idea

Litterally anyone he chooses can beat the Reublicans…

Daffy Duck would be good as the VP…

Mc Cane has only one[1] advantage over Barack…

Barack has to go out and buy a mask for halloween..

Mc Cane is Already freightening to the kids…

Woww.. he's scary..

Would love to see former Tennessee Senator, Vice President and Nobel prize winner, Albert Gore, Jr. for Secretary of Energy

Clean Energy Policy will be a hallmark of future America. Clean coal (liquification / Gasification) technologies, bio-fuels, wind and nuclear will have profound impacts on American competitiveness in the energy business … the export of clean fuels, affordable fuels will help Joe 6-Pack and our industrial base.

Gore would also begin the long, overdue need to keep our planet in balance ecologically and reverse the decline evidenced by extreme wheather patterns.

Moreover, beyond the environmental and economic aspects, energy independence has a direct relationship on our vulnerability to Mideast turmoil and our troops having to serve there.

Given all these intersections (Economic, Environmental, Energy and Long term nation security). Mr. Gore, you could play an enormous role in matters that would allow you to apply your skills & experience in a way that the world would exhault.

Every Time CarVille Opens His Mouth The Word Clinton Comes Out! Here Is A Bit Of Info For You. . . She Lost! And She Is Not Repeat Is Not Going To Be On The Ticket!

Whatever it takes to BEAT McSAME!!! No more Bush policies! I say we banish them to their own island!

Obama '08

that will be awesome OBAMA-GORE 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before the enraged mob of Hilary fans get here, I would just like to say, If Hilary is not on the tickets, would you still vote obama? Or would you vote for $5+ a gallon, skyrocketing prices, your husband out of a job, and your son dieing in a country thousands of miles away?

Why would he do that. if he wanted office he would of ran for president again.

Why is it that some people are looking for someone who can be Obamas' daddy as VP? I hope he picks someone fairly new to politics. Don't you people get his message? Change.

Hear, hear Jose, I agree with ya. Gore would make a great environmental czar for the U.S. if he were interested. Sigh, hopefully he will be.

Obama/Sebelius '08

Al Gore would be good. Also it appears that party is uniting behind Obama both in new Gallup Poll (Obama lead outside of margin v. McCain) and in the just released Wall Street Journal Poll he leads by 6% or outside of the margin of error and he even leads McCain by 6% among "elusive" white women.

We might be getting a smart president after all.

To be honest I feel that the Vice President pick is of little importance to me. But I would say Al Gore would be a great pick up on the Obama ticket. He is knowledgeable and experienced. Plus I feel that the economy is not as important as the environment. If we can reduce our need of foreign oil then we maybe able to make the proper economic moves to become a leader of world industries again. Once we save our planet we can save our country.

Moron

that would be a good choice.

MY COMMENT IS AWAITING MODERATION ? @#$%^&*(

I see the selection of Al Gore and VP as a politically good one. He not only provides tremendous foreign policy experience, he is the "go to guy" on enviromental concerns all of us have formost on our minds. Obama needs a running mate who brings experience to the ticket without being overbearing. Someone who doesn't polarize an already divided party, Al Gore provides all the above, with dramatic appeal to all Americans.

Doesn't seem like a smart strategic move…

GORE SURELY WOULD INSURE OBAMA'S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION…IF…THAT IS A BIG IF, HE ACCEPTS. BEEN THERE DONE THAT IS WHERE HE'D BE. BUT OF COURSE THAT WILL ALSO PUT HIM IN LINE FOR THE PRESIDENCY AFTER OBAMA.

If Mr. Gore can put his country above himself, he'd accept the position of VP if offered by Mr. Obama. I see it as a distinct poossibility, and, an awesome team.

(By the way, I sure wish more people would remember a speech a U.S. president gave on April 18, 1977. He was laughed out of office. I am glad to see him vindicated while he's still alive. Look it up, people.)

Nick

That's actually not a bad idea…

I thought Carville was going to retire back in the South. What happenned? This inquiring mind wants to know, because it's time.

oh please carville, who are you to say anything, you lost, so let change take place..

he is a bozzoo

he can prpose whoever he wants when his queen and king get back on the campaign trail again which they will do for the princess chelsea..

ohh please, enough with the billarys

I trust Senator Obama to make the right selection. His judgment has been excellent. Keep up the good work, Senator.

Al Gore was robbed of the Presidency in 2000. Just look what happened when the "Committee" overrode the voice of the people - we got Bush. The same sort of no good will occur if Obama were to become Pres., as Obama was not the peoples choice; Hillary Clinton was the peoples choice and we have not forgotten that the Democratic party railroaded her. Not to mention the DNC will now be Obama's to controll! Outrageous and frightening; is this America or is this Nazi Germany. Truly democracy has died in America. I would rather 4 more with McCain, at least he truly won his parties nomination. Why would Gore be the number two for a candidate that the DNC thwarted the voice of America for? I can't see Al Gore in this spot. Obama must be getting nerveous….

That'll be a nice ticket. That'll pretty much wipe away any experience flaw Mccain will try and throw at Obama. Gore is a proven leader. Just makes you wonder does he wanna be the number 2 again.

oooh pulease, al gore? why would the man want to get involved with a loser like obama. get a grip carville, why would you want gore or clinton involved in that train wreck?

Nope
Been then and done that. Barack will find the perfect person on his own!

James Carville needs a heaping serving of STFU!

What is it with CNN.com??? I post and they do not put it on. I think it is because they are so PRO-OBAMA that they don't give voice to anyone else!

I do not think Gore should inject himself into this race. I will not vote for him, even though I like him. I will not vote for Obama unless Hillary Clinton is on the ticket! A LOT of others feel that same as I do.

we pray he be the one

All we need is a bearded Al Gore to be in the Obama administration and we'll be set. I think the mindset of change that Mr. Obama is trying to create would be conducive for Mr. Gore to amplify his efforts to fight climate change. Perhaps not the Vice President position, but certainly a Cabinet position would work. There would be lots of promise if a move like that was made.

Gore would not be my choice but I have confidence in believing that Obama will make the right choice.

I agree with James Carville - Al Gore would be great on the Democratic ticket for the General Election. But would he want the job of Vice President again? He has a lot of knowledge about this Country and knows how to get things done.

That would be a big mistake to make Gore Obama's V.P.
They are not the right match.

Obama/Numm 2008!
or
Obama/Richardson 2008!

Why is Carville even mentioning "Gore of VP" when Gore himself said he is not interested in being vice president? On June 04, 2008 Gore's spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said "Vice President Gore has long since ruled out any possibility of serving in any administration”. I think Carville is just trying to back Obama into a corner and make Obama look like a person that is running against Democratic elite. Carville is still doing all he can to ruin Obama's chances in November. Carville's money is not needed for Obama's campaign but rather Carville's comments will be judged more by Obama's supporters.

Why should we care what Carville has to say?

The primary campaign revealed his true colors as a vicious partisan weasel.

Please, CNN, keep his ilk off the air.

Gore should be the presidential candidate. He'd win!.
The Dems have ben fools this year.. Gore is their compromise candidate

Too bad Al Gore is not running for president or this whole primary election would have been done and over with forever ago. The question is would Obama be willing to be VP and put Al Gore on top of the ticket? Talk about a landslide in November!

That's an insult

I wonder if Barack and Michelle will do "the bump" with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip?

Didn't Al already said no?

Why would he want to be VP twice?

Will people let Obama select his VP!

Kornville just want hillary to win in 2012

You 58 old white ladies for Obama- rest a while.

We know you are really just one African American - probably male- paid to post by Obama.

At least you are not hateful- I will give you that much.

HE'S THE NOMINEE- take a breather.

al gore is fine, just not his son…

Now This is a winning ticket! Mr. Gore is the Man! Come on Mr. Gore Pretty Please! Do it for the Party, we love ya!

Obama / Gore 08

Obama and Gore, the perfect ticket. Al Gore could concentrate on what he loves most and Obama can serve as executive. If Al Gore would do it it would never be for self serving reasons but only because he might believe he could make the difference that would win over someone as likable but old fashioned as McCain. I love McCain in the Senate, and hope Hillary stays there too. If the two of them could bring about some change on both sides of the isle a lot of things could be turned around.

It's amazing that when Carville speaks, neither Hillary or Bill's mouth even moves.

Wesley Clark for Vice President

I don't think it would help even if he would consider it. Polls today show Obama leading McBush overall and if you look at the inner numbers that break the poll up into key demographics, Obama leads with amazing numbers, including latinos, women, independents and blue collar workers.

Obama should look at someone like Joe Biden for VP. The guy is clearly informed and on the right side about the important stuff, from Iraq to the economy to healthcare to education, energy dependence and climate change. He's steady and has experience. He's older, without being decrepit and cranky.

DC in California

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!

Easy on the capslock there chief.

Carville is in fantasy land if he thinks Gore as VP is a realistic possibility, but it would be an instant win. There's no one McCain could pick who would stand up to an Obama/Gore.

I don't think it would help even if he would consider it. Polls today show Obama leading McBush overall and if you look at the inner numbers that break the poll up into key demographics, Obama leads with amazing numbers, including latinos, women, independents and blue collar workers.

Obama/Biden '08

That's about as stupid an idea as I've heard so far. But coming from Carville, it doesn't surprise me. The guy should've stayed in the shade a little longer so his noodle wouldn't have baked too long!

What about your 'girl'? I dont think Al Gore is a fit at this time. My first Choice Hillary, second Jim Webb!

Someone needs to tell Carville the 90's are over. Time to move on, Jim.

LOOK MA I CAN SHOUT ON THE INTERNET TOO.

Gore has repeatedly said he beleives he can do more good out of Washington and I doubt he would want to be the vice president. I agree with him wholeheartedly and think that this is an irrelevant issue.

I hope Obama will choose the vp of his own choice. I like Hillary but I don't want to force him to choose her.

I think Gore would be a great addition to the Obama ticket; clearly the best possible choice. It may be enticing to him if he gets to be the energy czar - what a great idea.

Gore would be a better choice than Clinton, but Clinton would be a better choice than the others they have floated so far. If not Gore, we should forget about Clinton's behavior and put her to work as the VP or some other cabinet post. She would have to be "nice."

That not change. Gore is old polities, If that the case gave it to Hillary

Mccain 08

Al Gore would not accept the VP spot again after serving eight years as VP for the ststus quo: the Clintons. Al does not symbolise change, which Obama wants to bring to Washington. But I do respect Al, though.

I know a president can't run for more than two terms.

What about a vice president…any restrictions?

I'm a current college student… and like the large majority of people my age, support Barack Obama. Putting Al Gore on the Obama ticket would cause a lot of voters in my demographic to rethink their votes. Al Gore is old politics, what Obama has been preaching against. The carbon footprint for "Mr. Truth's" large mansion is 20X the average American's household and it even increased after the production of his movie (he was finally home using all his toys). It's hard to imagine an Obama/Clinton ticket with the rift that has been made during their recent campaigns…and as much as I dislike Hillary…the ticket would create the America we all want.

Al Gore should be the president.

Mr. Gore - Please be vice president! We miss you!

ha ha

Jose - actually the 20 or so is down to 18 or so as people keep refusing to be on the ticket. You know who the "winner" is going to be?? The dumbfounded idiot who doesn't realize that the other 17 or so stepped BACK when Obama asked for someone to step forward and volunteer to be his v.p. ROFLMAO

James….take a vacation.

Obama doesn't want Al Gore for VP, and Al Gore doesn't want the office either. Obama surely doesn't want Hillary and I have no idea what she wants. What he needs is for both of these good democrats to help him every way possible to get rid of the republican dominance of the white house. As for Carville, when did anybody pay any attention to this man?

Actually Gore would have been a great presidential nominee. Now I have to pick between my political hero who for the past two years has been destroying my confidence in his maverick status or a tax and spend liberal who scares me at least once a week with his 50+ billion dollar plans to save the american people (you know mortgage bailout, universal health care, and unemployment/stimulus package).

I mean universal health care is an important goal for the US to strive for but if Obama keeps his campaign promises then I hope we are all prepared for the dollar to be worth about the same as the peso.

James you sly dog, are you trying to bait the Obama campaign into picking someone who has not only lost already but may actually be a bit farther left than even Obama, thereby making sure that Obama loses? If so, as a Hillary dem voting for McCain, I congratulate your thought process!! By all means, Mr. Obama, go with Gore - you can't lose!! (grin)

I think some individuals can do more for this country outside the political area - - Gore and Carter have both been better as "private citizens".

Obama/Clinton

I dont think Gore would want to do the V.P. job again. He really seems happy doing what he is doing. Besides, he can do more for Obama's campaign doing what he is doing than becoming a V.P. nominee. I could be wrong. I have been reading about all the possibles for the dem. v.p. and I feel very strongly towards Sen. Joe Biden. He has the experience and the knowledge to take on the GOP/John McCain and a President Obama could feel comfortable turning to him for that last minute decision. But it 's up to President Obama.

If Al Gore accepted the VP position, I would vote for Obama in a heart beat. Otherwise, I am not too sure who I will vote for President.

Yeah!! Good luck with that.

Didn't FDR win 4 terms.

Ohhh HELL NO!!!!! If I didn't like him in the past, what makes you think I like him now??? HELL NO!!!!!

I agree………. he would

its these moments in history where how we react to growing threats to our existences will determine what those after us willhave toface ..We need to be openminded to change as things require change never hesitate to live inconvenience so that others may have a chance to have a life of convenience gobarack08

Yeah, sure, and the slogan would be "Vote for Blood and Gore."

Hillary Supporters: I am a hillary supporter and just wanted to say one critical thing. From the beggining I have donated countlessly to Hillary's campaign, financially and actively on the lines so when these so called hillary clinton supporters start whining and complaining about her loss, I wonder if they ever gave a dime or supported her in any substantial way. I'm on a fixed income and have been criticized countlessly from family and friends. But you know what, now I'm going to support Obama because he and hillary share the same views.

In conclusion, to all supporters, no matter whom you support put your money and your support where your mouth is and stop complaining. Hillary lost fair and square. I be darn if my nephew has to spend another tour in iraq again under McCain Admin.

Gore would be great but I doubt he would do it. But it would be cool if he did!

I think Obama should pick Sam Nunn! Steal Georgia and a handful of other southern states away from McCain and there'll be nothing he can do.

Why would someone a thousand times more qualified to Govern our Nation take orders from someone with no experience what so ever?

We love Gore but he is not stupid… His message is being heard.

Obama needs him, he does not need Obama…

No way, does he really want to be a two time loser?
If obama loses he needs to go down by himself so he doesnt make the party look bad. If a senior member of the party goes down with him then it would be really bad considering all the good things we had working for us this election.

Gore should be the Sec of Energy.

What? VP for Obama?

I think a Gore VP would result in a sure-fire victory in November - A lot of Americans know that he was the rightful winner in 2000, and a lot of people think "if only that had happened instead of the last 8 years…"

Plus he's incredibly popular within the Democratic Party, and he's won an Oscar, a Nobel Peace Prize and he's slowly saving the planet.

And with Obama being a newbie, Gore's experience would put people at ease.

Unfortunately, I don't think Gore would accept being VP again because it would be seen as back-tracking, which is a shame, he could accomplish more for his cause in that position - I mean, it is the second most powerful position in politics.

Most telling is that Gore wasn't on Obama's shortlist so he isn't being formally considered.

Oh my God, two left extremists heading the largest economy in the world. Should be a fun ride …

putting AlGore on no.2 spot will carry Mr. Barack Hussein Obama to Oval office.

If Gore would accept the offer I think it would be an absolutely brilliant move. He is not just simply a nobel prize winner and a cutting edge environmental activist, but also brings so much experience to the table. I usually cannot stand Carville, but I have to agree with him on this one. There are only positives with a Obama/Gore ticket. And I am certain it would unite the party. I just hope Gore is willing to do it and not insulted by the need for him on the ticket.

Obama/Gore08!

Here's a thought all the good politically correct people couldn't dare utter: Gore for president and Obama for Vice-president. Oh dear, is this individual saying that Gore is MORE qualified? Er, yes, I am. Any other questions?

I think Obama should do some serious thinking and ask Al Gore for
the V,P, spot Al Gore is a very knowledgable person when it comes to politics. I would fell a lot better having him as V.P. than getting the Clinton clan back into the picture. If Clinton gets the V.P. spot Obamas back will have to be watched 24-7 because someone will try do him in so the V.P. gets to run the country

I don't see that happening. However, I feel that he should be a key advise in Obama Cabinet…In orther words…His International CZAR. Create a new role that has barganing power and prestigue, which answers to OBAMA only

I would be all for it, but I doubt Mr. Gore would accept.

I have often admire James Carville but this time I think he missed the boat. If this country is asking for change why would we recycle a former VP and unsuccessful presidential candidate. VP Gore has a role to play and hopefully it will involve work on the environment his forte, but it is time to move on.

yes yes yes yes yes………i've been saying that )about al gore running) for-e-v-e-r!!! he's a great man, and really need to be encouraged to get out there again. "we need you al".

good idea…unless your name is Al Gore.

Carville is right!

No- President!

Obama's VP can be anything - economy guru or foreign relations expert , etc. But what does Obama bring to the table - Community Relations?

Al Gore is a charlatan. I am a geologist, and believe me, the man knows nothing of global warming. He plays to the publics fears.

Gore is great…. but i think his goal isnt going back to the white house

WE are ready for Nov.

Obama'08

Why not Jimmy Carter? The two are identical.

James Carville tries to become relevant. Yet, he has to realize that he belongs to a different era of political behavior. At this point, he should get a real job.

I would like for Obama to consider Colin Powell for his VP; otherwise Hillary is the more likely choice.

There's a better chance of George Bush kissing James Carville on the lips.

That's totally absurd. Maybe Gore as Prez and Obama returns to the senate. How dare anybosy suggest that Gore should serve under Obama. Gore was robbed in 2000, and he should be the nominee before Obama.

It is highly unlikely that Gore would take it and I think almost insulting to be offered to him.

here's the beginning of the clinton conspiracy

Good Lord, the Inventor of the Internet is back! There's no way…

no it should be mccain.

unity ticket.

or kerry or bill clinton.

Now that the Clintons fade into oblivion, I am hopeful that his band of thugs, Carville, Begala, McCauliffe and other blowhards will exit the media as well. The politics of division are over and so should the politics of Clinton pack of noisemakers.

Please do push to have Al run again, Mr. Carville.

A holdover from the machine Obama just defeated smacks of change we can all believe in.

You Democrats are just pathetic.

Maybe McCain will pick as his running matey, Vaclav Klaus. Won't that be an interesting debate, Jimmy boy?

There'll be nowhere for Fatboy Al to run to in hopes of ducking another debate.

I SEE AN IMPORTANT PERSON IN MR. GORE, INTELLIGENT, A TRUCK OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS KNOWLEDGE, ETC. ETC. BUT,
AT THIS TIME, AND TO GO BACK AS VP, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT
HE WOULD ACCEPT UNDER ANY CONDITION, BUT ONLY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING THERE AND JUST BE IN STAND BY,
MAY BE, FOR 2012. OBAMA MIGHT NOT WANT A BOSS AT HIS
SIDE. I HOPE HE CAN GET THE BEST AMONG THE TWENTY OR SO.

GOOD LUCK .-

Actually, I would like to see Al Gore nominated as president with Barack Obama as Vice President. That would give us a seasoned man at the helm who is concerned about the environment and a bright young man gaining experience by getting "on the job" training for 4 years. Sen. Clinton would make a fine member of the triumvirate as Secretary of State.

I agree. Obama/Gore '08

Take Mccain out of the race Obama and bring the country back on its feet. Noooooooooooooooooooooooo Mcshame we dont want Bush to stay in office foure more years!!!!! Obama 08

Just pundits game who have nothing more to think about since the ending of the primaries

As much as I'd love to see Gore as Veep, I think he would not be most effective in that role for two reasons: (1) Gore being VP will not help Obama win take the White House; Obama needs to buff his foreign policy creds, his environmental creditials are fine so he doesn't need Gore. Also, Gore didn't carry FL, TN or OH, so he's not going to help Obama do what he couldn't. (2) Gore will be more effective not as VP, but as Secretary of Energy or something like that so that he can set the environmental policy.

What is the purpose of this?

I'm 58 years old- and I would make a great mother- again.

Gore is a good man and lets wish him the best.

Clinton is smart too she should be on the ballet with Al Gore. We need this people to help our economy and secure our future. Obama 08!

Bad idea as VP…Gore could not even win his own state of Tennessee. Gore can have a strong Cabinet position in the department of energy as an "Energy Czar".

I keep getting confused on the rationale for the VP positions. Candidates agendas can be spear headed by people who will eventually be in an Obama cabinet or government. The VP pick should clearly be focussed on enabling a winning strategy for Obama in how many states he can swing into the democratic column and who has a broad appeal across the board to swing core democratic voters and the reagan democrats. Looks liek Obama does well amongst independants himself.

Again for Military and foreign policy credentials, Obama can pick a strong defense secretary and secretary of state, not to mention the NSA director. So, the focus for VP should be to get as many states into the democratic column.

He's a serious man, and he has an outreach to constituencies Obama hasn't yet reached, with foreign policy expertise and REAL experience in office. If, as VP, he were given actual, tangible power to affect US policy on energy and global warming, it wouldn't be a matter of doing the same job again, but of having a new and unique opportunity to make a serious difference to the world, and even the survival of the planet.

I'd love to see a Clinton/Gore ticket again!
With another scandal under his belt, Obama isn't looking so great. I'll be wriitng in Hillary!

i think Al Gore sgould be the VP his a really smart person. Obama 08!!

Al Gore would make a good veep but he is a has been. Obama needs a new fresh and knowledgeable running mate ready to embrace the change that matches the peppy and smart new fresh face senator and that Mr. Obama of course.

Clinton or Gore or Oprah won't help obama win

Leave the dude alone, for cry out loud. He's got a life now.

Hey, Nader: Do you STILL think it wouldn't have made a difference if Gore had been elected instead of Bush?

If you do, then you definitely need to remove your head from where you've got it stuck….

Gore would make a great president. How difference our world would be if Gore had been sworn in as president back in 2001. The world will pay for that mistake for centuries to come. I wish that Obama would see that he needs to be VP to Gore. Gore has what it takes to make this nation strong again.

McBush is done!! the country needs a new vision, a new light, and Barack Obama is the light that the Americans desperately need!! if I were an American I would vote for Obama hands down!! even if i did not know a thing about the race, just listen to his speeches!! Absolutely incredible!!
Obama/Richardson ticket

Al Gore doesn't need to be VP again and why
