In Barcelona's excellent diary, he/she points out that Gore must know that in order to effect the type of change necessary to save our country and the planet, he has to be our president. I don't think Gore is the type of person who would be content to just do his part from outside Washington. He knows that Hillary, if she were to become president, won't support the massive sea change in attitudes and priorities that needs to happen now in this country. But getting into the race is tricky business. I think he's savvyer and much better equipped now to handle the crap that was thrown at him during the 2000 election and since then, but I don't think he should spend his political capital and subject himself to the right-wing propaganda machine just yet. Instead, he should wait until Hillary gets the nomination (assuming she does) and run as an Independent. Of course this carries tremendous risks, but here's why I think it could succeed:
