Al Gore in the Philly suburbs. (Pictures!)

[drm604]

Al Gore came to a Lois Murphy fundraising event today 11/04/06 in Wynnewood. Here are some pictures I took.

[CitizenLeft]

1. he looks very...

presidential.

:)

[drm604]

2. He was asked repeatedly to run in '08

but he says that's not in his plans. :(

[mentalsolstice]

5. Did He Say It Today? n/t

[drm604]

7. Yes, I was talking about today.

Today he was asked repeatedly to run in '08 but he said it was not in his plans.

[mentalsolstice]

8. "Plans" Can Be Changed!

A lot of plans may be changed after Tuesday. Let's hope!

[Tellurian]

31. Yes, as in DRAFT...

Mr. Gore doesn't have to declare anything any time soon..

[CitizenLeft]

9. I don't mean this in a negative way, but...

...I think he's waiting to be begged. If there was an overwhelmingly loud "request" (I'm thinking from voters) for him to run, it would make the campaign much easier for him in terms of initial media coverage. I think he's waiting for it. I hope he's waiting for it.

Gore/Edwards or Gore/Obama in 2008 would make me sing. :)

[drm604]

10. Well he was begged today,

By the entire crowd.

[mentalsolstice]

12. He's too much of a gentleman...

...to give away his plans at another candidate's political event. Right now his focus is on '06.

[CitizenLeft]

13. I hope you're right...

...and, actually, he should wait until after the election, after the new year, to make that decision and see how the wind is blowing. To say yes now would be premature. He'd be accused (by the pundits) of being self-serving to say it now and take attention away from this election.

[demokatgurrl]

57. Gore/Obama, Gore/Edwards, Edwards/Obama...

any and all are beautiful.
However, I honestly don't think Gore wants any part of it. I DO think Edwards does though.

[Warren DeMontague]

47. He'd be a fool to say he was "planning" any such thing, right now.

Smartest thing he could do is wait until the whole damn crowd has their lighters up, a few doubters are heading for the exits, and then ride down onto the stage for THE rock and roll political encore of the new century.

[madokie]

27. he is Presidential and will be in a little over 2 years

Big All is not going to let us down, promise.

[survivor999]

42. I agree. But he should work out more.

I just worry about his cardiovascular health. If he wants to run in 2008.

[Cha]

46. That's a great way to

put it. Al Gore needs to stay in fighting shape whether he "runs" or not. We want him around for a looooooooooooooon Time. Okay, Mr President Gore? :)

[roamer65]

43. Yes, he does...re-elect Gore in '08!

[demo dutch]

3. Very nice! BTW I do think he needs to loose a few pounds !!!

[mentalsolstice]

4. Damn! I Was Hoping He Had Lost Some Weight!

Before I get flamed...modern-day politicians usually trim down before making an announcement that they're going run for office, and Gore himself has been known to "buff and run". So I've been looking for evidence that he's been inviting Jenny Craig to dinner, it would so get my hopes up.

That said, I truly love him the way he is. Chubby and cuddly, or lean and mean, I don't care. Run, Al, run (figuratively speaking)!

[Rose Siding]

16. That's true, and I understand

I looked for the same thing too. He does look great anyway, but I looked for it in the same context as you. He really does have another 6 to 8 months -I don't think he'd come in too early.

[mentalsolstice]

19. And men do tend to lose weight fast! eom

[silverojo]

24. It's not about the looks

It's about health...we don't want Al Gore falling ill due to weight-related illness. We need to keep Dems like him healthy and sharp, to keep fighting the Republican menace as long as possible! :)

[bobbolink]

39. Yeah, I was hoping he'd lose the weight, also.

But then, I wish *I'd* lose weight, too.

:hi:

[Radical Activist]

41. I remember how he looked in '00

I don't normally pay much attention to a politician's body but the guy was seriously buff.

[Bonhomme Richard]

6. Love it. I grew up in Wynnewood. n/t

[dancingme]

11. my photos from Radnor rally

No up close and personal like your great photos

[CitizenLeft]

15. very nice!

I can't help but hope that his campaigning is his way of sticking his toe in to see how warm the water is...

[mentalsolstice]

21. I hope he finds a jacuzzi! n/t

[drm604]

14. We need some more recommendations

so that everyone can see it.

[Rose Siding]

17. Those are great! thanks-

I'd just started to look for them. Did he speak encouragingly about the midterms?

[drm604]

23. I don't recall him saying anything specifically about that.

He did say that it was hard to see any easy way to clean up the problems we now have in this country. That could be taken to mean that he believes we'll be getting the chance to try.

He does feel that the consequences of not winning control could be grave.

[partylessinOhio]

18. "Al Gore lives on my street, right down the street, President Gore"

I love that song!

Al Gore lives on my street,
Three-twenty-something, Lynwood Boulevard.
And, he doesn’t know me
but I voted for him. Yeah, I punched the card!
I don’t know how he lives with knowing,
That even though he won the popular vote
He still lives on my street, right down the street
From me.

One time, I had a bike
And I was a kid, and someone stole it from me
And still I’m mad about that,
Carrying anger, I just can’t let it be.
I need to be more forgiving, I know it,
’Cause even with the popular vote,
Al Gore lives on my street, right down the street,
From me.

Life isn’t fair, don’t tell me, I know it
’Cause even with the popular vote,
Al Gore lives on my street, right down the street from me
President Gore lives on my street, right down the street from me.

Finally, the song seemed to be ending, but then came the voice of Gore himself: “Hey, man, I like your song, but you need to get over all that stuff. Hey, this is a great neighborhood!” .



(Listen to the song here.)

Al Gore looks damn good for all he had stolen from him, the Presidency of the United States. No small theft!

[yurbud]

20. too bad Americans don't care about things like brains and gravitas

it's amazing that the GOP was able to get close enough to claim they beat Gore with a candidate who was like Forrest Gump's more retarded mean brother with Tourette's (and whose mama never told him anything useful).

[DesertRat]

22. That's my president!

:patriot:

[ms liberty]

25. Thanks! I was hoping you'd posted! n/t

[Sugar Smack]

26. *sigh* What a GOOD man he is. Thank you so much for posting these.

So, who's the cutie with the moustache? ;-)

[drm604]

38. That guy?

Oh, umm... :blush: that's just some guy... who was there... You really think he's cute? :blush:

I didn't think it was a very good picture of... umm... some guy...

[PCIntern]

28. I live down the street in Penn Valley...

wish I'd known he was there....

Great to see him though

[StellaBlue]

29. I LOVE Al Gore.

He is one of a handful of politicians I have a little, tiny bit of hope in.

Along with, say, Dennis Kucinich.

[Tellurian]

33. What about John Kerry?

what wrong with him?

[Libby2]

30. Great pictures

he looks red faced and puffy. I hope he's taking care of his health.

[mvd]

32. My parents went and took pictures

I couldn't go because of the donation mimimum. I'll post them in a little bit.

My mom says Murphy is very nice! Gore was interested in my dad being a scientist. Gore gave a wonderful, long talk.

[PCIntern]

34. great avatar BTW...

Bye week...I'm pissed b/c I need the distraction of the game.

[mvd]

35. Thanks

Let's hope they have a 6-2 second half.. we need it with the Flyers being as bad as they are. Maybe the Sixers will be better than expected. :hi:

[mvd]

36. A couple of pictures

[drm604]

37. Thank you.

I hope you don't mind if I download them and add them to my collection.

[mvd]

51. I don't mind at all

Thanks! :hi:

[chefgirl]

48. I LOVE Al Gore...

GOD!! I SO hope he decides to run in '08!

I voted for him in 2000, but I gotta say, ever since his rightful place was stolen out from under him, my respect for him has done nothing but grow.

Always wise, dedicated, and true of heart. He's actually more offended that the country has been damaged, than he is at having been so aggregiously cheated out of the Presidency. That says a LOT about the man.

From my personal perspective, the only thing he doesnt have going for him is, he looks almost exactly like my brother, and every time I see him he looks like him more and more. Ah well.. I'll forgive him.

RUN, AL, RUN!!!!

-chef-

[politicasista]

40. Thanks for posting these

Is he wearing cowboy boots? Sure looks like it.

[drm604]

44. I'm not sure

but if I zoom in on the picture where you can see his feet, it does look like whatever he's wearing goes up under his pant legs. So they may be boots.

[AlGore-08.com]

54. He wears cowboy boots almost all the time

eom

[Warren DeMontague]

45. Ladies and Gentlemen.

The Next President of the United States.

49. K&R it's never too late... hang in there!
