Gore and Thompson can afford to watch and wait
So far Mr. Gore has decided only to think about running. He has not decided to run. The field is more complicated now than when he devised his late-entry strategy; the surprise candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama, now competing with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for top spot in the party lists, has added to the complexity of the calculus. So, too, has the compression of the political calendar, with so many states voting so much earlier than the last time he ran .

Free speech for people who think like me
The Assault on Reason reestablishes Gore as America's premier besserwisser and moral scold: the politician who both warns that we are scaring people to death and argues that Manhattan will soon be submerged beneath the Atlantic. But contrary to Gore's eschatological narrative, the American media landscape is robust, thanks, in part, to technological innovation. To suggest otherwise is just cheap fear-mongering.
