I may try and attempt a “Gore Watch” thread for signs of a presidential run by the former VP. There seems to be lots of coverage of the other presidential hopefuls out there, but it is my bet that he may run. Mainly because if he decided to run, he would shake up the entire field, and become a top tier candidate immediately. Rolling Stone has a really good article on why he should run.
So, when I see his name pop up I may take note of it and try to analyze if there is any ‘there’ there.
I’ll start with this from Political Wire:
“They’ve lost the argument and they don’t want to stop dumping all this pollution into the Earth’s atmosphere. The only thing they have left is cash and now they’re offering cash for so-called skeptics who will try to confuse people about what the science really say. But it’s unethical because now the time has come when we have to act.”
– Al Gore, quoted by CNN, on how the Bush administration is paying scientists to dispute global warming.
Lets see where this goes….
