Nobel Prize-winner Fmr. Vice President Al Gore (TN) led your monthly unscientific Choose Our President 2008 poll (left-hand column, two-step poll) for October, with Sen. Barack Obama (IL) leading for vice president.
This is the last month Gore will be a part of this poll unless and until he declares himself a candidate, in which case he'll be added again in the soonest month possible. With two months until the voting starts and three months until it'll be half over, the likelihood of his candidacy seems a tad too far-off for me now, so I think it's more useful to pit the declared candidates against one another alone for now. To be absolutely clear, I would like to see him run, it just doesn't seem like he will.
In new November voting so far, Fmr. Sen. John Edwards (NC) leads for president, and Gen. (Ret.) Wesley Clark (AR) for vice president.

As always, this is an open web poll: inherently unfair, unscientific, and subject to wild fluctuations due to dedicated voters. The site and the poll have been reset with the candidates in the new order decided by your votes. Vice presidential prospects Gov. Brad Henry (OK), Gov. Janet Napolitano (AZ) and Rep. Loretta Sanchez (CA), who only had Gore left as a promising prospective running mate have left the poll with him. This month's composite ticket, excluding Gore votes, would be Obama / Clark, but as it was it's Gore / Obama again.
