When John Edwards threw his hat in the ring, I gave him my support on one condition – that Gore didn’t run. If Al Gore gets in then I am behind him 100%. Now there are rumors coming from the most reliable of sources he still could get in and have the most dramatic stage available for his announcement:

Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are the hot early front-runners, while 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry has already bowed out.

But could former Vice President Al Gore be waiting to make a dramatic entrance into the 2008 presidential race, especially if he wins an Oscar next month?

His former campaign manager, Donna Brazile, strongly implied that possibility while speaking at Moravian College in Bethlehem Tuesday night.

”Wait till Oscar night,” Brazile told an audience of about 100 people at Haupert Student Union. ”I tell people: ‘I’m dating. I haven’t fallen in love yet.’ On Oscar night, if Al Gore has slimmed down 25 or 30 pounds, Lord knows.”

If Gore wins his Oscar and decides to announce then that he is running that will be awesome. Of course the right (and I am sure some even on the left running) will not be too thrilled with it. They will start blaming “liberal Hollywood”. Of course it was the strong message Gore gave on the most important issue facing mankind that offered him this kind of opprotunity. It is this same issue that the current administration has worked to hide from addressing.

Please Al do this. The current top 3 are Obama, Clinton and Edwards. That means there is a lot of division and if you get in then it will most likely throw the ball in your court. The people wanted you in 2000 and they want you now!
