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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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!

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.
