Friday's the Big Day for Gore Fans

Attention, Mike Henry, get on the phone and call Al Gore, right now.  Clinton/Gore '08 is going to sound pretty darned good a week from now.

All of us who have been praying for Al Gore to enter the race for the presidency, are holding our breath until Friday when the Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded because our man Al is the leading contender. 

The question we're all asking is this:  if he wins the Nobel Prize, can Gore possibly not run?

Get ready, because today's announcement of the prize for Physiology or Medicine extended a stiff middle finger directly at the anti-science crowd that makes ups the Grim Old Party in politics, the intentionally ignorant Bush Republicans.  The award went to Mario R. Capecchi, Martin J. Evans and Oliver Smithies for their discoveries of "principles for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by the use of embryonic stem cells".

Yes, these are the smartest people in the world, they know what they're doing, and they gave the highest science prize in the world to the boogeyman of the American political right:  Stem Cells.  The world is sick to death of the idiots who control American government.

Now, if that's not a hint at what Gore fans can expect on Friday, I don't know what is.  We've been waiting for almost a year, and finally the waiting ends this week. 

Keep Rush Limbaugh away from the painkillers. Michael J. Fox can throw a party. And Al Gore fans everywhere will be watching Friday to hear the starting gun of what could be the triumphant return to the spotlight of the "Goracle".

Are you high? (DanG - 10/8/2007 10:40:27 PM)
Not to be rude or anything, but that's all I could think of at the prospect of Clinton/Gore 08.  Al Gore ain't running under Hillary.  He's either going for #1, or not at all.  And I'm guessing not at all.

Don't get me wrong, I'd pull my support of Edwards and toss it to Gore if he ran.  But he won't.



Well... wouldn't want to be rude... of course not (The Grey Havens - 10/9/2007 10:16:02 AM)
The Goreans are going to go nuts if he wins this thing on Friday.

I'm sure Hill's folks are on it.



Yeah... (Doug in Mount Vernon - 10/10/2007 4:47:51 PM)
And if Gore got in the race a while ago he'd be leading the pack.  I'd have backed him instantly, and never would have been flirting with Obama, as much as I still like him too.

Al Gore would be my dream candidate!  Especially after hearing him give the speech at DAR Constitution Hall back on MLK Day.  He was amazing!



The chances of Clinton/Gore 2008 (Lowell - 10/9/2007 6:40:52 AM)
are about the same as the chances of Gravel/Kucinich 2008, let's just put it that way.

I agree with Lowell completely.

Gore will not get into this race. In 2008, the Democrats are very happy with their choices, and the Republicans are not.

Al Gore is a great activist and party leader, and a lousy politician. Let's have him stick to what he's really good at and where he can make the most change.

I think Gore's chances of winning the Nobel are slim to none, let alone entering the race.


thanks... (The Grey Havens - 10/9/2007 10:53:34 PM)
but you're wrong ;)
