His message is clear... and all he wants to do is help save our Earth. Who better than Gore to bring the real issues of the US failing policies to the forefront at the convention and set a new direction for our country and our new leaders? Clean energy, energy independence, no blood for oil and green, sustainable living are the only way we will ALL survive. Go Obama! You can do it!

Climate change is an incredibly complex issue that will require far more work than a simple little math "equation". Just take a step back and really thing about the whole "CN" banter. To be truly neutral, everything in your world, not just your car or a few light bulbs, has to be neutral.

I am not a "denier". We are messing up the planet. Fixing it is going to be made harder when all the folks who proudly claim to be CN come out of the woodwork and believe that they have nothing more to do. It will be up to "everyone else" after all, they have done all they can do.

And I think it will show that he was right in speaking out about global climate change. For these reasons, I anticipate his speech. So all the nasty, negative attacks and name-calling in evidence in this blog, if remembered at all, will just be seen as one of the dark sides of human nature: many people hear only what they desire to hear, and believe only what they want to believe. It's called ignorance, and history always betrays the ignorant. I think history will show that Al Gore is one of the great statesman of our time.

I am now an independent who voted for Bush 1 who was a very competent and capable president and Gore in 2000 as I wanted to see the good times continue after Clinton. That said I disagree with many of Obama's positions but I am voting for him because of 2 reasons. First like you stated the world has changed and we are no longer the only super power. We need someone who can listen and talk with other world leaders and garner their respect. McCain has made it clear that he will not speak with our enemy which is immature and proven as wrong for that was the way Bush operated for 7 years and you can see where it has gotten us. Secondly, I will not vote for another "C" students for the White House. The world as you stated is far too complex and our leader today more than ever needs to be an intellectual. We need someone smart and with good judgment. McCain is a respected war hero but that is not what we need. We need a thoughtful, intelligent and level headed leader who will help us re-join the global community. Please America, no more partisan politics - simple vote for the smartest, brightest and most likely candidate to bring our country together.
