  •  "An Inconveneint Truth" was a ... (none / 0)

    ...huge hit at Sundance, and will be getting a lot of national distribution over the next few months.

    I haven't seen the Spike Jones piece yet, but I suspect that the Draft Gore movement will pick up a huge amount of momentum as a result.  I think the impact will be on the scale of "Fahrenheit 9/11."

    Unless Hilary has something equally effective up her sleeve to "humanize" and deal with her "electability" issue, I am placing my money on Gore being our candidate in 2008.

    •  I prefer Gore, Clark, Feingold .. but (none / 1)

      the demonization of Hillary is not helping our cause - if she is nominated for POTUS or selected as VPOTUS, many here will regret some of the things I have seen posted here.  

      McCain just flushed his own campaign by his appearance at the FBF on Aug 16th, 2008.

    •  The "Draft" Movement?" (none / 1)

      Why would they pick up momentum from this? Are you saying they are intentionally going to use this just to bring people to their own personal cause? I'll tell you this. If people start thinking Al Gore only did this to get a nomination his credibility will be sunk. I sure hope that isn't what you think he did it for. Not that I'm not surprised.... And I haven't seen any support for this issue from any movement claiming to support this man based on its own merits. Al Gore didn't make this movie because he wants political accolades for it. He made it because this issue is important and he is sincere about it. I personally believe politicizing it and taking the seriousness and humanity out of it is disrespectful regarding the true message of it.

      •  Oh... (none / 0)

        And I believe it will be distributed in the U.S. early to mid summer of this year. The book on this movie comes out in April. I hope it inspires more people to actually see this problem in the serious light they should see it, and work together to better fuel standards, cleaner air, water, sustainable living, alternate energy sources, greener tranportation, and to also hold politicians and the media reponsible for making this a non issue.
