""I began with the feeling I didn't really want to do this but was open to the possibility that getting around the country would make me want to do it. That never happened," he said.

1. I'm honestly disappointed to hear that. We need all the voices of integrity we can get. nt

2. Take Gore out too ...

I would love if he ran, but he wont ...

[madfloridian]

4. How do you know that?

Is that just a guess?

5. A repost ....

I love Albert Gore ....

I recently saw him at The Rose Garden, in Portland, Oregon.

At the end of His discussion of Global Warming, there was a Q&A period ...

One of the audience members told Al that he had started a website whose sole purpose was to convince Vice President Gore to again run for the highest office, and to collect donations for that cause ... That he knew Gore WOULD win .. again ... if he were to jump in the race ....

The audience, of course, erupted into loud applause, and Al, being his typical modest self, was so embarrased AND appreciative of the crowds approval .....

But then he got very serious : He said he was deeply moved by the sentiments, and that he understood how so many people want him to try again ... but: he was done with elective politics ....

Albert Gore wants NO part of an elective campaign, with all of the ugliness and stress .... He LIKES His life as it is now .... He is an advisor to great nations, he is deeply involved with those subjects which move him most ... the causes that motivate his soul ....

It was sad to hear it from his own lips, because I truly adore Albert Gore as a human being ....

But he was speaking truth .... Albert Gore will NOT run for President of the United States ....

Again : Albert Gore will NOT run for President of the United States ....

As much as I want him to run, I think I would rather he be happy in his place in the world ...

IF running made him happy, then by all means, he should, and he would get MY vote before any other candidate ...

But he wore his heart on his sleeve that evening in October ... and I believe him ...

Albert Gore will NOT run for President of the United States ....

Having said that : I bet he would be as awesome a Secretary Of State as he is a steward of the environment ....

I have no idea what David Gregory is talking about ....

11. And who can blame him?

Gore was my first political crush - I adore the man - he was my senator and my vice president and, if the votes had been counted, my president. If it were down to a race between him and Wes Clark, I'd be in the throes of passion.

However, I think Gore's done with politics.

3. Russ! This is sad.

I was looking forward to hearing Feingold's voice in the debates. What a loss.

Does this mean he's out as a VP candidate, too? Sigh.

14. It is sad

Even though I would be a Kerry supporter in the primary's he still would be a good candidate and someone out there along with Kerry for the progressives/liberals to support. :( I would have loved a Kerry/Feingold administration.

6. Who Cares

Polls are meaningless.

There will be a primary and someone will win.

Till then, you are just jacking off.

[BluegrassDem]

7. He had no prayer anyway

There was no way he was going to win the presidency.

[INdemo]

8. Would be great as VP

[Telly Savalas]

13. He most certainly could have won.

[Crunchy Frog]

10. Wow, all of 17 posts and you're already accusing us of jacking off.

Very sensitive of you. :eyes:

[Crunchy Frog]

9. I'm genuinely disappointed.

We need the voices of people like Feingold out there, and he is one of the most articulate spokespersons for progressive values out there. My big fear is that there will be a collection of bland, centrist nobodies out running, and little meaningful discussion about the direction this country is going in.

My consolation is that he must feel there are really meaningful things he can do in the Senate, now that we have a majority.

12. This sucks!

Now I don't have anyone to support, toher than Gore, who I don't think is running.
