Take Him Out of the Lockbox
Could Al Gore mount a serious presidential run in 2008?
There has been a lot of speculation lately, partly because the Gore of the last five years has been so much more appealing than the Gore of 2000. He's far less "safe," and he's had a moral clarity few other major politicians can claim on the major events of the last few years. His opening bit on Saturday Night Live last week, in which he gave a faux presidential address to the nation from an alternative universe, was both funny and sad, neither at Gore's expense. I'd certainly prefer him to HRC, or to most of the other expected candidates. But I expect the media would once again try to crucify him for whatever it was that he supposedly did that we didn't like.
Any thoughts?

In a better world, Gore would have prevailed in 2000. But not in this world. And I'm concerned that December 12, 2000, was the last day on which it was possible to believe that Gore could become president. The media hated Gore, and they wouldn't give him a break this time, either.
