Two threads to recommend (Please, pretty please)
Two posts commmenting on Gore, yes the Man himself, adding video of his own to the newly launched current.com website (current.com was launced today)

First, from NYCGirl, " Al Gore speaks out on healthcare, privacy, and Iraq!"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2050887&mesg_id=2050887

And from the Admiral "Gore is now running for president." http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2051041&mesg_id=2051041

2. Thank you.
I think the videos by the Goreacle himself are good indications that he's leaning. He's throwing it out there and he is doing it virally. He's bypassing the media (although I did e-mail the links to KO) and going right to the people.

It feels like the first day of something big.

3. Indeed, it does.
I confess finding myself a bit worn down by the immediate attacks after Friday's news. Sometimes I can be a bit gullible. So glad to realize my first instinct about his running is still probably the right one!

4. It was orchestrated
Just about everyone I heard being even faintly critical was either a Republican or a Democrat working to elect one of the top three. No one with a dog in this race or partisan ties to another party will say an encouraging word about a Gore 2008 run. There's nothing in it for them....

8. I can't blame you
The Republicans are afraid that Gore will run. And the only people more afraid than the GOP is the press. The pundits don't seem very happy about Gore re-entering the race. IMHO It's not so much that they want Hillary to run as much as they are afraid that they will finally be held accountable for their own BS attacks on Gore in 2000. The media doesn't want Gore to run because their lies about him in 2000 will come back to haunt them. They don't want that because they will be exposed as the liars they are.

6. Have you all signed up with current?
I did this morning and then did a comment on one of Al's videos and asked him to run. I figure he must read his own videos comments...

10. I was joking on Friday
that my index finger was going numb from hitting "recommend" all day. By Saturday afternoon I was damned near exhausted and my index finger was developing a callous.
