Gore in 08?

Washington Whispers is reporting that friends and allies of former Vice-President Al Gore are pressing him to run again in 2008. "It's Gore Time," says a political strategist and fundraiser who is opening a bid to get Gore into the race.

Count me in. A primary contest between Gore and Hillary Clinton? That is a campaign I would love to see. That is an election that would energize both the party base and independent voters. That is a contest in which the debates would highlight the strengths of the Democratic Party.

And after eight years of the Bush boy, I have a feeling many Americans would be willing to give Gore the job he was robbed of in 2000. Should that happen, the world would breathe a sigh of relief.
