OK. So far you’ve all signed the petition; you’ve joined a local Draft Gore group; you've contributed money that is being used for radio ads; you’ve blogged and written personal letters to Al Gore asking him to run; you search the Internet every day, looking for signs; some of you even had the experience of meeting Al and having him sign your book; you got to wear a Draft Gore button, chant "Run Al Run," and personally ask him to run for president. Now what?

With Live Earth just around the corner, I’ve got an outrageous idea. Let’s ask the Live Earth performers to publicly ask Al to run during their performance.

There was some confusion and misinformation on a diary that ran on this topic the other day. The record is clear as to exactly what Al Gore's position was as to the question of invading Iraq. On September 23, 2002, almost six months prior to the invasion, Gore made a speech in San Francisco that once again demonstrated his vision and experience. It also demonstrated his courage. At the time, this was not a popular position, and the media let him know about it. But his warnings and concerns read as though he wrote the speech last week (knowing what has happened) and dated it 2002.

There is no question about his position against invading Iraq:

I'm speaking today in an effort to recommend a specific course of action for our country, which I sincerely believe would be better for our country than the policy that is now being pursued by President Bush. Specifically, I am deeply concerned that the course of action that we are presently embarking upon with respect to Iraq has the potential to seriously damage our ability to win the war against terrorism and to weaken our ability to lead the world in this new century

For those of us who wait impatiently to hear from Al Gore: "I am a candidate," there is yet another event that we must wait on. His next book, titled Solutions, published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, is due out September 2, 2007.

Al Gore's new book carries within it the answer to the question "What will it take for Al to run?"

'Al Gore for president', says Steve Jobs. Many of us here at dkos have already heard about his recent statements, but that's not the end of the story.

The Assault on Reason challenges each of us to take responsibility and participate in the conversation of democracy. The book was released yesterday and Al Gore began a twelve-city national book signing tour at the Wilshire Theatre in Los Angeles.
