You GO, Gore!

Quote of the Day: "Where [the President and I] disagree is that we have to break the law or sacrifice our system of government to protect Americans from terrorism. In fact, doing so makes us weaker and more vulnerable."
-Former Vice-President Al Gore, in a speech today to the American Constitution Society.

Take a look at the highlights and then ask yourself this question: Where was this Al Gore during the 2000 presidential campaign? He's animated, passionate, and patriotic. I'd almost hazard a guess that he is mulling over another run for the White House in 2008. And I would be all for it. After eight years of the incompetent Bush administration, an elder statesman like Al Gore is exactly what this country will need to clean up the mess and put us back on track.
