I do agree that Gore should have been the president back in 2000, However I believe that regardless of who was President at the time the current events would have unfolded in the exact same way..ie 911// Iraq War// etc..etc..etc. The power is not the people nor their elected officials

I need to say this -Hillary supporters! Listen, there is a percentage of Republicans that will definitely vote for Barack. A larger percentage of independents as well. Just think about how bad the Rep. convention will be this year. But importantly…..IF HILLARY IS ON THE TICKET FORGET ABOUT THESE VOTERS FOR SURE. Do you understand?

How many "green" cheeseburgers will Gore snarf down on the private jet and private limo on the way there where he will tell us to ride bikes and wear sweaters?

AL Gore is great stateman, and the award of the Nobel prize was no fluke.

I guess the only award W can or will win is a dunce cap.

Whoa…….. the fear-hate-war-mongers are out this morning!

Go ahead a vote for another Bush term! A vote for McCain is a vote for MORE OF THE SAME! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LISTEN. HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE BUSH.

We have a DEFICIT OF $490 BILLION FOR 2009…… THANKS GOP!

WE ARE SPENDING $1.38 BILLION….. A DAY…. IN IRAQ AND MCCAIN WANTS TO "BOMB…….BOMB…….BOMB IRAN!"

ARE YOU REALLY……….. BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE 8 YEARS AGO?

IF SO GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR THE GOP!

GO OBAMA 08′

NO MORE MCSAME IN THE MCBRAIN.

Great, now we can be saved from ManBearPig!

BIG DEAL. GORE IS A BORE. MAYBE HE'LL BRING HIS FRIENDS FROM THE KOS….

What great planning for moving the party forward. The Clintons can have their convention in the regular setting and do whatever they want, then we say goodbye to their leadership and finally turn the page to looking forward rather than backward by moving the whole shebang outside and featuring our forward looking new party leadership.

The Clintons and McCain keep insisting on reliving the glory past of Vietnam and the 90's. The rest of us must move on if we're going to keep this country from diving off the cliff we're headed to.

Michael Crowley wrote a really good article on why McCain presents himself and his campaign and I hope anyone who's thinking of voting for him reads this and tries to absorb how entrenched in the military mindset this man is.

I dont think Gore is going to be the VP, this sounds weird, why would he do the same job again. The only difference I see is that Gore would have a better role this time around because Hillary wont be around trying to destroy him every chance she gets like she did during her husband;s administration. She is the reason for Gore not winning she kept pushing him down when he was VP. She wanted to be second in command and so she took it upon herself to make sure he was not successful.

Isnt Thursday the same night the VP candidate speaks? Hmmmm

I hope Gore stays true to his opinion of ManBearpig.

JK- Al Gore really was the President America needed, but we're too apathetic to vote for. That was the last Presidential election I never voted in, after 8 years of Bush, I'll always make sure to vote.

Excellent, at least people are accepting the invitations at the Dems. convention. Many of the Repugs. are running as fast as they can to stay away from the Republican convention. ..It's like the Repugs.are ashamed of their party…Oh I forgot, they are!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that Gore uses his opportunity to promote his #1 priority: Save the earth. If he does this he will gain even more republican supporters. He needs to remain a statesman and not return to be a politician.
Hillary for president. Obama for VP. As VP Obama would have the opportunity to gain the experience that he presently lacks.

Hi Jack,

this is seen as a very good news! We have to come to grip with the fact that any security sentiment and much needed accomplishments at home and abroad will be achieved once we start changing and facing the climate change…only then we will change security climate at home and abroad..the perfect example of this continued insecurity linked to oil is quite obvious with what is happening now in Georgia…The faster we get out of the dependency of oil the faster we will claim our own security!

I'm glad to hear Mr. Gore is involved. Welcome to my town, my friend!

The election of 2000 was an amazing opportunity for Al Gore. As the VP to one of the greatest American Presidents, and on the heels of a truly golden era for this country, Mr. Gore should have won hands down. As he turned his back on the Clintons and refused to let them help him win, he turned his back on victory and lost much credibility.

Now, the Democratic Party is poised to lose another election thanks to Barack Obama and Mr. Gore has been dragged out of political retirement to punctuate the close of what promises to be a painful and contentious convention. As the most left-wing, flawed, unqualified and divisive nominee ever chosen by the DNC, Mr. Obama has already secured his place in history as the Democratic Party’s worst nominee ever.

The future of the Democratic Party is truly in question.

I like Biden he will be a great help to tackle the Mccain false attack. Why is Mccain keep braging about him being POW, this nation had many great Americans more than one can imagine who sacrified their life to make this nation as good and as democratic as it is their name is not even mention.

How many electoral votes for the state of Denial?
Ask a Republican.
Never mind. They would lie about that too.
Need to change their Elephant symbol to Ostrich.

The world sure doesn't need Gore weighing in on anything. He's so full of himself it's a wonder he doesn't just float in the air. Hillary isn't going to come away with anything people. This isn't change, it's the same old same old. Cannot wait till it's all over with and hope to heaven Obama doesn't win - God help the country. if he does. Those who vote for him and really believe in him are in for a very rude awakening. We will be paying for this mistake for years to come if he is President.

The election of 2000 was a sad day in American History, only to be eclipsed by the re-election of the war criminal administration of Bush/Cheney in 2004.

Al Gore served well as Vice-President of the United States - in spite of Hillary's attempt at installing herself into the Office.

I look forward to his speech. Welcome back, Mr. Vice-President.

Well, it does not matter from here at all who, what , when or where anybody speaks or has a spot at the DNC. The Dems are out and may as well sit home this election. Anybody in their right minds WILL NOT VOTE FOR NOBAMA. He can get over it - HE WILL NOT WIN. And all you Nobamanots better take your own advise and 'GET OVER IT". All dems with one tenth of an ounce of brain will vote McCain, especially after seeing Obama stuttering and stammering with all the I-I-I-I-I and uh-ug-ug-ug-ug-ug-ug - he just isn't able to answer a simple question without a teleprompter.

GO MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the way - wish you'd just cross party lines and have Hillary as you VP. Could not stop that!!

Now CNN - moderate and don't post since this is stating facts against your boy-toy, Obama.

Owl Gore, he' still around looking for C-H-A-D?

Of course he will be speaking that night. He is another blowhard egomaniac who needs the setting of a large crowd to feel better about himself. That said, I would rather watch paint dry than hear this wealthy environmental phony speak. He's about as interesting as a 20-pound bag of fertilizer.

And mark my words, Obama's arrogance and the image of him speaking in this setting is going to backfire on him. The speech in berlin hurt him and this will just add to it.

Everyone will be there…can I speak too?

The DNC shot him in the foot having all of those bizarre Florida recounts rather than a full manual recount of the state, wherein he may have, probably would have pulled a majority. Now they've shot Obama in the foot by counting out Michigan and Florida.

What about Edwards? Throw him in to!!!
Two perfect Dem's

Obama is going to self destruct if he dosen't choose Clinton as his VP. She is the only one that go up against McCain. If you didn't see the forum between Obama and McCain, let me inform you that McCain won hands down, Obama would be a great Professor, but no way
a good President.

To Major Michael "C" , I believe that God has commanded all of us to be good stewards of the planet, not doing your part ?Dick Morris is to busy kissing up on Fox. Dick might want to show up to the repubs convention, it seems the list of those attending is dwindling. Connie from Indiana

i am glad gore is speaking for obama however,as much as i love barack obama i am worried that he is not speaking up more in his own defense. he needs to be more forceful and let the republican goons that are making him sound incompitant have it with both barrels. i know obama wants to run a clean race and a race for change but unless he can knock McCain off his puritan horse and show the voters what an unethical fraud this man is ,i am afraid obama will lose the battle. i do not want to lose my grandsons to war and i am sure as the young men and women are killed off or just quit inlisting McCain will have no choice but to reinstate the draft. McCain feels like it is every americans job to serve for our country and by that he means in military. if he had to do it as a young man he thinks all young people need to serve.he is obsessed with war and will ruin our country in the process.

I want Gore to be the VP!! He would definitely push hard for alternative sources and try to help solve global warming!

Correction: we wouldn't have a military stretched to the breaking point

Good lord, it's simply gets worse. First the Clintons and now sighing, lying Al Gore. What will be the content of Gore's speech? More insane alarmism about the dying Earth? In the environmentalist religion, Al Gore is the high priest or, in the least, thinks he is.

I'm sick of the Clintons and sick of Al Gore. If Obama represents change, then why in the world are we seeing the same people over and over again.

Obama, learn the definition of change. Biden, Gore and the Clintons do NOT represent change.

Bob, A group of newspapers finished the FL recount in 2000. Guess what? Gore still lost. Get over it already. If all you Dems still have the delusion that Gore won in 2000, no wonder you've been conned by the Obama fantasy. Still I have to admit that Gore would be a better nominee than Obama. At least he's got more than 5 minutes of experience.

Anyone and I mean anyone for VP EXCEPT Hillary, cannot do her. I love Gore.

Gore will give the last day dignity after two days of the Clintons. I'm so proud of Barack for running an excellent campaign and for really thinking about the best solutions to win.

The battle isn't over yet, but I sense there's a change in the air. Americans will take their country back.

Obama 08

I can't wait to hear Gore, as I will be in Denver for the convention. My first convention–see change already.

I was in DC when Dr. King gave his speech, but I was very young. I don't plan to miss Barack's speech.

If the Supreme Court hadn't handed the presidency to Dubya in 2000, our economy would be in better shape (Iraq war = bad economy), we'd still be respected in the world (Iraq war = hatred for America), we would have a military stretched to the breaking point (Iraq war = 4200 dead soldiers), and America would be leading the fight on global warming and the energy crisis instead of just giving lip-service to the idea. History will always remember Gore as the President that should have been. If you're still defending Dubya, you're lying to yourself.

My cards are still stuck on AlGore for Vice President.
Am I alone here?

Gore would have been president if BUSH(slimeball) didnt STEAL IT FROM HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just what the Democrats need……the savior of the planet……Want doesn't the DNC get Dick Morris to address the convention?

After obama, gore is the most dangerous man in the United States. Kennedy,Biden,Kerry,Dean,Gore and throw in Nancy and Harry, and you now have the next president of the United States if you elect obama. Yes, all the OLD guard of Washington,the past presidential losers, have found their boy….their puppet. They know Bam-bam has no balls because his wife has them all and knew he would be so easy to control because he wants to be president MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. He gets what he wants (major ego trip,god-like even) and they get what they want….an idiot who will gladly be their mouthpiece while they control the congress, the oval office and finally, the United States. Haven't you kool-aid drinkers ever wondered why the primaries were stolen from Hillary Clinton. Guess not. That would involve thinking.

I think is wonderful that Vice-President Gore will speak at the convention. I feel that after a Tuesday night with the Clintons it is fine to see someone with chararcter stand next to Senator Obama. Have all of these Hillary fans remember the White House in the years of the Clintons. There was no moral character at all. If you really want to see the election go to the Reupblicans, keep shouting Hillary. Everyone should know that the Clintons are losers when it comes to morals and the Republicans will really play it up.
Lets turn the page on all of this baggage and elect someone fresh and new with a vision and ideas for this nation that is SENATOR OBAMA.

It will be interesting to hear what he has to say

CNN, stop speculating and wait for the announcement. You'll end up getting this wrong like you do on your grossly inaccurate worthless polls.

V.P.??

Too bad Gore never became president….. Just think we could have kept Russia a friend if he was.

Right on! Nobel prize winner and the person who should have been president in 2000. Tell me that the United States wouldn't be more prosperous if the Supreme Court hadn't stopped the count and selected the Clown Prince, who along with Darth, has turned this country into a Neo-con Banana Republic…

Gore will be an excellent lead in to the Obama acceptance speech. Thursday night promises to be a "defining moment" in American history………the night that true "change" began in America.

It is unclear what Gore will say in the speech or at what time he will deliver…….Why is this News…..In the future wait until have all of the details .Thank You

Wonderful speaker on the last night. If Obama could enlist Gore in any way into his advisory team at the White House, we would all be better off for it!

Al Gore is the only person who could bring some sanity to the Democratic party, not to mention credibility and integrity GORE '08!!!

Continuing to dilute razor thin credibility. Not even weeks ago on national

TV: I won't be involved in Politics due to the seriousness of what I'm

involved with…….Maybe he's announcing he's invented a weather

changing machine ?

Does Obama really think that Biden will help him win the election? I hope not.

It is unclear what Gore will say in the speech

That's easy……blah, blah, blah blah

appearing on the same stage that Barack Obama will officially receive the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination

Followed by…….Um, uh, ummm, uh, uh

Hope there's a German rock band to bring this notable event to a rabid finish. Kool aid for everyone!!!!!

McCain 08

Gore is the one thing that America as a country lost when it comes to Presidential Politics. He had and has the vision of the technological future and would have ensured our place as number one in all things computer and green. He had all the inside information about terror activities and 9/11 never would have happened. We lost the opportunity to have the services of this man as a President; let us not loose the one he, in his wisdom, deems right for the job.

OBAMA 08

I am hoping that by some miracle that Obama would pick Al Gore to be his Vice Presidential candidate on the ticket. I think that would be awesome. I had hoped for Edwards but he blew his chances. I think Al Gore has a real shot if he wants it. I think though that Al Gore is resisting. Al, stop resisiting!! I am starting to think BIden might be on the top of the list at this point with all the media speculation but I think they may be over looking a very real possible vp choice. I don't think he'll go with Hillary at this point but I think she has some benefits to the ticket.

I was wondering if Gore would be speaking, with all of this "gib gabbin" about the Clinton's, I'm glad their will be a voice of reason! I can't wait until the convention is over because the Clinton's are trying to make a circus of the convention. Obama accepts the nomination, Al Gore gives him his blessings, and the Clintons can FINALLY go home. Maybe after Obama accepts the nomination, Hillary will finally realize that she lost. I have Clinton fatigue and I need a serious break from them, they've become quite a pathetic pair.

Breaking out all the old cadre from the 1990 for this convention. This is change?

Sure looks like the same old bad cast of characters to me.

I am glad to hear he Al Gore will be there speaking. He is a great man who has spent his life truely working for the people. I look forward to hearing him speak.

very good.

ONE LOSER SPEAKING WITH ANOTHER LOSER.

Somebody please answer why they think Clinton would win. All I hear is that she would definately win and Obama has no chance. It is baffling that people are that delusional. Hillarry lost the primary, is the most polarizing figure in politics, has promoted disunity (in both parties and bipartisan efforts),and Republicans hate her so much they would actually unify to whoop her butt by a landslide.

Just because Obama supporters are teeny boppers, doesn't mean we all have to support him.

Hillary 08!

Excellent!!

Of course Al will be there! With a big limo and private plane I'm sure..
How else could he spew 200 times more than the average America??

Obama needs for Al Gore to take a role in his administration. His experience on the Hill matters, and the Democrats need as many of their heavyweights as possible on board. America needs too much repair after the disastrous Bushists.

I wish he would be vice president again. And I hope in the future he runs for president again.

I like Bidden for VP. He is a heavy weight. Not like Hilliery. He is loyal. Not like Hilliery. And he knows when to shut it down. Not like Hilliery. Besides, she can't spend her money and have it too. PUMA should give up a $ for each supporter.

I haven't had a chance to blog lately, but I'm so glad Barack held his own in the den of iniquity. It was obvious that the deck was stacked against him, but he did well.

I know McCain is counting his blessings that Rick Warren invited Barack because the forum would not have had as much attention without him.

Good move for the GOP to have Warren in their corner, but Barack will still win this election. The stakes are too high and our country is too important to place in the hands of a hotheaded warmonger.
