Al Gore Watch: An Opening for President 2008?

Power Line: An opening for Gore

There are three serious Democrats who are running, or seem likely to run, for president: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards. But collectively they fail to occupy all of the available space and, indeed, leave a rather clear gap. What’s lacking is an avowed leftist candidate with gravitas. Hillary is not running as a leftist and is not perceived as such by her party. Obama, though now running as a euphemist, is clearly a man of the left. However, his gravitas quotient is roughly zero. Then there’s Edwards — to the left of Hillary at this time and with more gravitas than Obama, but not terribly convincing in either regard.

Gore would be a SERIOUS contender and would outflank Hillary on the LEFT. Nutroot, Green and Labor support would abound.

Flap says Gore would BEAT Hillary.

But, does he have the WILL TO RUN?

Stay tuned…….
