Some people contend that Al Gore may have actually beaten George Bush in the 2004 presidential elections. Since losing, he has dedicated himself to his longtime concern for environmental issues, and in 2007, it has paid off big time. Gore has earned himself an Emmy, an Oscar and a share of the Nobel Prize for Peace.
Gore’s fans are kicking off a “Draft Gore” campaign to get him to run for president in 2008. This time around Bush wouldn’t be a problem he would just have to deal with his former boss’s wife first.
Draft Gore, a national group that for several years has been trying to pull Mr. Gore into a presidential race, ran a full-page advertisement in The New York Times on Wednesday, as well as commercials on liberal radio talk shows, saying he had an obligation to seek the presidency again and address from the White House a variety of moral issues facing the country.
Bob Alexander, a co-chairman of the Michigan group, said he believed Mr. Gore just might do it.
“Hopefully,” Mr. Alexander said, “the euphoria of winning the Nobel Peace Prize, plus all this other positive stuff, will be enough for him to say: ‘O.K., this thing is taking off. We’re ready to run.’”
