Off-Topic: Al Gore in 2008

Well Al Gore kind of announced he'd run for president...

First he was denied presidency by a miscount. Now he was denied by a closing music track. Poor guy.

You really think he'll do it?

I think a large percentage of Americans consider him to be a hippie, and wouldn't have much of a chance against Clinton and Obama.

I think he'd have a chance. Hell, he won once already.

As an Australian (and only seeing our media coverage) it sounds like Al Gore has a great chance in the election.

Good luck to them all :)

On top of that his 10,000 sq. ft house that uses $1,200 in electricity a month.

Granted he's doing some good things but live what you preach.

I'm definitely not standing up for Gore, but I think he does buy green energy to offset his personal use. Still ridiculous, but at least he's buying the green energy to offset it.

The jet setting... definitely stupid.

Here you go. He's a douche bag politician (like most) - enough said.

I would imagine that he would offset it all, and you could claim that he offsets anything he personally does by all the people he affects :P Still a poor excuse but eh..

He's a bozo.

Can you tell I don't care for him much?

Actually yeah... now that you mention it... haha.

Why offset? Why not just do 100% good? Isn't that what he preaches? He's a bozo.

Can you tell I don't care for him much?

name one politician that does 100% good...

I don't think I can - but name 1 politician that preaches as much as Al Bore. He's got a totally captivated audience that actually believes his fluff.

I know someone who watched his movie, went out and ditched their regular car and got all bio-dieseled up to start saving the planet "along with him". They've since had to buy ANOTHER car because the diesel beetle couldn't make it up steep hills in the snow and it's cost them over $3,500 in depreciation in less than 3 months. Sure it wasn't the best decision...but as they're drowning in the debt of the car, this a-hole is out there flying around to his 4 chateu's burning up more fuel in a month than the average American does in a year (or more).

Al Gore doesn't have a chance in hell to run for presidency. He may put his hat in the ring but he'll get blown away.

Eco friendly isn't main stream enough to become an entire platform.

Don't get me wrong I agree that we need to be extremely more conscious than we have and need to take more proactive steps to improve our environment.

I just don't think it's going to get someone to the presidency.

I really don't think Barack Hussein Obama stands a chance. He's a political newborn when compared to the other candidates. He's also a man of color which unfortunately is going to affect his vote in many parts of America. Sad but true.

Clinton doesn't have evil stigma associated with her, she is evil stigma. Have you ever seen/heard her talk to people in the south? She turns into Hillary J. Blige and starts snapping her finger in circles "You know what I'm talkin' about...Oh no he di-int" - She's also a woman, which will weigh in on voting day.

McCain is decent I suppose, but hard to read. I don't think he's got it in the bag either. Plus he's 71 or 72 years old...we better really like the vice president in his case.

Got a lot of views floating around here...too bad nobody posted any of them on the origin of it all on prediction pad. lol
