Tomorrow I Say Goodbye To Draft Gore

Very early on this year I drew the conclusion that there is no better or more qualified man in this country to be president than Al Gore. Since then I joined my local Meetup group, I started talking with friends and family, I created Netroots for Gore, and I worked with the America for Gore steering committee, all for the sole purpose of trying to convince Al to jump into the race in 2008.

<snip>
But none of that matters if the former vice president refuses to throw his hat into the ring. We've called him, we've taken out full page ads, we've chanted "run Al, run" at nearly every public event he's at, and we've even started ballot initiatives in many states. Thanks to the extraordinarily generous contributions by thousands of people, we're even airing a TV ad, starting tomorrow, on CNN and in New Hampshire.

Tomorrow is the New Hampshire filing deadline,and barring a unforeseeable miracle, Al Gore will not be on the ballot. There will still be some people organizing write-in campaigns and ballot initiatives around the country, but I will not be one of them.

1. I'm sorry you have been disapointed, but Al never did intend to run.

I hope NOW all of the people insisting that he's their only candidate will finally recognize reality and chose from our candidates who are running!

5. We need a "Sherman statement" from Gore, not a bunch of teasing

This is crunch time. Gore can no longer merely say that "he has no plans to run" just like Hillary Clinton did not that long ago.

Whatever Gore decides, I'll support him, but he needs to either poop or get off the pot. Sitting there too long can make one's legs a bit stiff and wobbly.

6. Tomorrow is the deadline to file for NH

8. He's already said repeatedly

that he has no plans to run.

He doesn't owe you anything more than that.

7. Without Gore, We are Forced to Choose Between the Unpalatable and the Unelectable

PLEASE RUN, AL! WE NEED YOU!!
GORE FOR PRESIDENT

9. 11/8

Gore will be on Jay Leno's Tonight Show next Thursday. It's where he gave his "Sherman statement" about the 2004 election. It's also where others have announced their candidacy. He's also taped a 30 Rock episode which will air earlier that night.

Missing the New Hampshire deadline is not such a big deal in my eyes. Missing Illinois' on Monday (11/5) would be a much bigger deal. Which is why I think Gore will announce this Sunday or in fact Monday. And I have a feeling he will announce it on-line, likely on his Current.com , as this will be an entirely different campaign.

I realize it may well be wishful thinking, and yet I truly believe this is what will happen. Either way, I think within a week we'll know a LOT more. C'mon Al ... we're counting on you !!
