State of the race: Hillary, Richardson, Gore and the housing collapse
Last month, I wrote two pieces about Al Gore. The continued silence says to me, he's not running. I have tried, others have tried and while the DraftGore movement organizers are to be commended for their efforts, the only one who can draft Al Gore is Al Gore. We're down to the count on a potential Gore run and while I have been the most optimistic of my crowd, I expect him to pass.

Who do we want? Gore! When do we want him? Now!
Ok, in light of the current political landscape, we've been pretty patient. Now with the summer coming to a close I'm getting pretty anxious. I'm starting to wonder whether we've really done everything we can to stir a groundswell of support to Draft Al Gore for president. I simply think we could be doing alot better. Ya see, I think right now is the time we need to be giving the full court press. If by the very unfortunate chance that Al Gore does not run, it shouldn't be for a lack of enthusiasm & groundswell support!

Context of 'September 23, 2002: Al Gore Speaks Out against War in Iraq and Preemptive War in General'
He states that this policy of preemptive action will damage American international alliances and inhibit the effective execution of the war on terror, which requires a multilateral approach to succeed. Gore advises Congress to fully examine the evidence prior to any commitment in Iraq and to always bear in mind what he says are the core principles of the US. He says "the administration has not said much of anything to clarify its idea of what would follow regime change or the degree of engagement that it is prepared to accept for the United States in Iraq in the months and years after a regime change has taken place." Ominously, he warns "the resulting chaos in the aftermath of a military victory in Iraq could easily pose a far greater danger to the United States than we presently face from Saddam."
