Al Gore: The next 44 days
So Al Gore needs to look in the mirror. He needs to see that there is one candidate who can not only win The White House, but win the country back. Al Gore knows his history. In the early days of our country, our forefathers risked everything for this country. Our early leaders ran not for themselves but for their country. Al Gore knows this better than anyone, and Al Gore alone of all the potential candidates out there, needs to respect the history of your country and answer the call.

Gore's call for a more active democracy
For Gore, democracy (not to be confused with politics) should be much more than a spectator sport, as it was, at least ideally, for the nation's founders. True representative democracy, Gore argues, demands much of its citizens – principally the constant effort to be personally well-informed based on facts and the exercise of reason.

Al Gore's daughter Sarah gets married
Sarah Lee, as she is now named, is a medical student at the University of California San Francisco. She met her husband at a function for her father's Oscar-winning environmental documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. The movie was executive produced by Jeff Skoll, who served as the best man at the wedding. "As one person joked during the wedding toasts, global warming helped bring Sarah and Bill together," the family friend tells PEOPLE.

Kurtz failed to challenge claim by Townhall's Ham that Gore "uses 300 times" the energy "the rest of us use"
. . . host Howard Kurtz failed to challenge Townhall.com managing editor Mary Katherine Ham's claim that former Vice President Al Gore (D-TN) "uses 300 times" the amount of energy that "the rest of us use." While Ham did not indicate the source of her claim, she was apparently exaggerating unsubstantiated assertions made by the Tennessee Center for Policy Research (TCPR) about Gore's home energy bills, including a claim that his home energy usage was "more than 20 times the national average."

GOP activist tries to drag Gore's name into a Clinton scandal
FOX News viewers were never told that the guest, Katherine Prudhomme O'Brien, shown on film confronting Al Gore and Hillary Clinton on the subject was no average citizen, as she was portrayed, but a conservative Republican activist with a long history of anti-Clinton crusading.

Until Gore gives a more positive answer about his running, he is going to poll low.

what do you expect with Newt and Coulter ads running on this website?

I don't see what that has to do with anything. :?:

Do you not see the ads? Does that not signify some sort of endorsement here? Yeah I know that it is unforunate but it is reality.

This Gore site, the leading messageboard community is running conservative ads. Every view you have is a benefit to them.
