| With Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama mired in a bruising battle that only helps John McCain, Democrats are looking for a way out. How about a neutral candidate that could unite both camps, has political experience and is beloved internationally? In other words, how about Al Gore? Sure, last year's Nobel Peace Prize recipient has repeatedly said that he has no plans to run for the presidency in 2008. Perhaps Mr. Gore will rethink his decision when he finds out efforts to draft him have crossed the Atlantic. Germans, who unfortunately can't vote yet in the presidential election, are urged via www.algore2008.de to push Al Gore to run this fall. The team behind the site – a lawyer, a historian, a business economist, a sociologist and a computer scientist –don't fail to lavish him with praise. They declare the runner-up for Time's Person of the Year award 2007 as the Man of the Century in their page header. With such an honor bestowed upon him, the century being only yet 7 years old, surely that will make Al Gore rethink his plans, won't it? |

| I'm in agreement with Mr. Knopf regarding Al Gore. As a former Republican, I switched so that I might vote for Obama. The reason is that 1)I don't want another Republican in the Whitehouse and 2)nor do I want a Clinton-Act II. I wish for a government that will stop it's overt lies to the U.S. public and do what is right for the country and not a particular party or special interest. I find that both parties carry a lot of baggage that is unwelcome and if there were a viable 3rd or independent candidate, I would vote for him/her instead. I no longer trust the 'insiders' or those who profess 'experience' as that is nothing more than saying 'more of the same' and that is the last thing this country needs! We need to clean house! | ||

| I don't quite understand the infatuation of Europeans with Al Gore. Many of his 'facts' have been proven to be not supported by scientific evidence. He might get a lot of votes in Europe, but they don't count, here in the States he would fall short again. For people believing in the 'stolen Florida election' I would suggest to read the post-election findings of some very liberal institutions, concluding that he lost, no matter which way you would count. | ||
