Al Gore Team Eyeing 2016 Run: Report

[Lakhota]

Supporters of Al Gore have begun a round of conversations among themselves and with the former vice president about his running for president in 2016, the latest sign that top Democrats have serious doubts that Hillary Clinton is a sure thing.

Gore, 67, won the popular vote in the 2000 election and has been mentioned as a possible candidate in every contested Democratic primary since then. He instead spent much of the 2000s focused on environmental campaigning and business ventures. He has largely slipped out of public view in more recent years.

But in recent days, “they’re getting the old gang together,” a senior Democrat told BuzzFeed News.

“They’re figuring out if there’s a path financially and politically,” the Democrat said. “It feels more real than it has in the past months.”

The senior Democrat and other sources cautioned not to overstate Gore’s interest. He has not made any formal or informal moves toward running, or even met with his political advisers about a potential run.

Al Gore had the election stolen from him in 2000. I would love to see that corrected.

Well, William Jennings Bryan ran 12 years after his first run and 8 years after his second run..... so I guess it's possible....

 

[Lakhota]

I would ditch Hillary in a heartbeat for Al Gore. He's a smart man who understands the world we live in.

If Gore hadn't been cheated by Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris - the Iraq clusterfuck would not have happened. Florida was a rigged election.

It would be great to see Gore take his rightful position as President

Biden isn't presidential material - and he can't ride his dead son to the White House. Al Gore is the man!

how come he suddenly talks like he is black when he is in front of black people?...just wondering....seems kinda phony...

 

[Rocko]

It he does run he will be as relevant as Martin O'malley, which is to say not very relevant.

Keep beating that dead horse faux squaw.

According to a massive months-long study commissioned by eight news organizations in 2001, George W. Bush probably still would have won even if the U.S. Supreme Court had allowed a limited statewide recount to go forward as ordered by Florida’s highest court.

Bush also probably would have won had the state conducted the limited recount of only four heavily Democratic counties that Al Gore asked for, the study found.
