Gore in the White House: Still Possible


Al Gore's recent win at the Emmys for his role at Current TV sparked another conversation with a friend about how we think Gore is a shoe-in for president IF he'll finally decide to run.

I've blogged about this before and still hold out some hope, albeit faint, that Al will somehow, some way, announce. In checking the website over at Al Gore-dot-Org just now, I found this message:

The America for Gore Coalition (of which AlGore.org is a member) is dedicated to making Al Gore the Democratic candidate for President in 2008.

At present, we're working to get Gore’s name on as many state primary ballots as possible, and we continue to work to show support for his candidacy. Time is growing short, and we all need to act NOW to demonstrate our support so that Gore understands how much the country wants him as its next president.

To convince Gore to step into the race, we've launched the "My Two Cents" campaign.

We're asking all Gore supporters to mail him two pennies, together with a note indicating that real financial support will be provided if he accepts the challenge and runs for president. We believe that the mountain of pennies his office will receive will be a constant reminder to Mr. Gore that America needs and wants him to run.

Please send a letter telling the Vice President why you want him to be our next president, and enclose two pennies, explaining that you'll send more when he announces his candidacy. Mail letters to:

Office of the Honorable Al Gore
2100 West End Avenue,
Suite 620
Nashville, TN 37203.

Please distribute this announcement to your e-mail list and post it on all Gore-friendly blogs. You can refer people to the America for Gore website at http://www.americaforgore.org.

Thanks for doing your part!
