What happens when Al Gore sticks to his guns and stays out of campaign politics? He won't run for President as he's making a world of difference as a private citizen and doesn't want that to stop if he gets himself elected into office. All those pent up dollars people have been waiting to donate to his campaign; all the volunteer hours from the 'Draft Al Gore' movement; all the great thinkers, blog roots specialists, environmental activists? All those people waiting to crash the gate with Al... what happens to all that?
In scenario A. Al Gore stays totally out of politics and even refuses to endorse a candidate. His movement stays focused on Gore's causes, he continues to make a difference in his way. His political capital is kept dry until he has the numbers in congress to get his legistlative agenda through. But in scenario B. Al puts his weight behind one candidate. That candidate suddenly finds themselves the beneficiares of all the power of Gore's movement, the donations, the volunteers, the blog roots, etc.. It would be an incredible boost, possibly a direct route to the White House.
So here's the poll. In scenario B, which of the current candidates should Al Gore endorse? Which candidate has the ideals, goals, and the heart of Al Gore and would be best to implement the sort of changes in our nation that Al so painfully lays out in his books, slide shows, and speeches. Take the poll and then explain your vote in the comments.
