From That Very Same Fortune Article Neatly Placed in the Very First Page of the Article.
"It's a luxury to be able to focus on what you are most passionate about all the time," he says. When asked to elaborate he adds, "Casting about for words to describe this with precision is less productive than just saying that what I'm doing feels like the right thing to do." So the answer is probably not, though like any good politician, he's left the door open.
He has left the door open not for 2012 but for now. So this movement continues. And more after the fold
Then There is this from the Rolling Stone Article (Page 54):
He/We need/s to succeed with the Climate Crisis and the Current candidates just want tweaking. By Putting all issues in the frame of solving the climate crisis we will have transformative change, a generational change.
And this one is the one that nails it. He wants us to trust him. He will work wherever he will be most effective and if that is outside of the White House, then he apologizes, BUT if it comes to the point where the most effective he can be is in the White House "We will have a go at it them". That energy is there now, he is not referring to 2012 when another Democrat is in office, the energy is stored up now. If the trigger is to be pulled it will be in this cycle, do you think Al Gore doesn't realize that? He even clarified the one of the Missions for the movement, We need to help bring about that change change in consciousness.
We have a lot of work to do.
This is the People Powered Campaign of This Cycle. Join It!
