Reply #45: It's not too late at all for him [View All]

This is still way earlier than most campaigns begin. The day he announces he's going to run, he'll be able to raise money very easily.

I still believe he'll run. In 2004, he knew people were working behind the scenes to try to get him to run. He shut them all down -- he told them in no uncertain terms that he would not run and they should stop everything. He has not made any statement to that effect this time. He knows very well all the work that is going on and if he wasn't going to run he would come out a definitively say so and tell everyone to stop what they're doing.

The field will narrow in time -- people will make missteps and drop out, etc. Al can afford to wait it out. He's the only one who can do this. He gets more positive press NOT running right now, just doing what he's doing, and that will benefit him when the time is right.

And please join us in the Al Gore for '08 Group. We'd love to have the Gore threads concentrated over there and make that group more active.
