The Buzz is Building


Once upon a time...

A stiff vice president campaigns on his administration's legacy of unprecedented
prosperity. Looks terrible on TV. Bows out, following a disputed vote count.
Then, two terms later, with no incumbent in the race, he re-enters the fray.
Promises to change the course of a disastrous war founded on lies. And charges
to victory. I'm referring, of course, to the 1968 campaign of Richard Milhous
Nixon. But four decades later, history has a chance to repeat itself for Albert
Arnold Gore.
Should Al Gore run in 2008? I like all our candidates; however, Al might be my favorite.

But Gore's greatest appeal may come, ultimately, from what he represents to
voters fed up with two terms of the Bush administration. "He'll be able to make
the case that he should have been president already," says Carrick. "And that
had he been president, things would have been a lot different, with the Iraq war
being Exhibit A."

Just imagine what the world would look like today with Gore as president. Maybe we can do more than imagine.
