Al Gore, the man I really want to be our next President, just got an endorsement from someone we might not expect:

Throwing a curveball into speculation about both his – and Al Gore’s – political future, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg made a provocative comment today about a possible Gore presidential run.

“I hope Al Gore enters the race; I think it would be good for the country,” the mayor said.

Mr. Bloomberg this week moved to establish his chops as an environmental mayor by proposing congestion pricing for those who drive into Manhattan. While many have speculated about the Mayor himself running for president, could he be open to directing some of his fortune, and political clout, to Al Gore?

Please Al – you now got Republicans pulling for you. The water is great in the presidential candidate pool; come on in!
