Why the various Al Gore groups scattered around the country don’t get organized and do the same thing that they are doing in Massachusetts and get Al Gore’s name on the ballot of most states primaries?
I am sure that there are Al Gore supporters everywhere in the US – and there are groups in most states that are just waiting for Al Gore to jump into the presidential race.
In the age of the internet that can be done overnight.
Let’s get this show on the road and eventually even Al Gore might decide to jump on the bandwagon.

"Bay State Democrats try to draft Gore"
The Boston Globe - Wednesday, September 12, 2007
Al Gore isn't volunteering to jump into the presidential race, so some Massachusetts Democrats want to draft him.
A new statewide group announced today that it will launch a petition drive on Sept. 18 to try to get the former vice president on the March 4 primary ballot.
It needs to collect at least 2,500 verified signatures of registered voters by Dec. 21, but the group's leaders said they want to collect many more to show the depth of support for Gore.
"This is that rarity in American politics -- a genuine draft movement organized by citizens who believe firmly that America needs a specific candidate to lead the country. Gore received more than 50 million votes when he ran for President in 2000 and most of those voters still believe that he won," Fred Koed of Cohasset, a member of the Massachusetts State Democratic Committee, and the chair of Draft Gore Massachusetts, said in a statement.
