Was Gore taking a swipe at Bill Clinton, who some think favors the candidacy of Wes Clark? Was he somehow positioning himself to take on Hillary Clinton in 2008? Was he simply chafing to get back in the arena -- and what better way than to do the unexpected? washingtonpost.com

How will Al Gore reinvent himself? His proposed leftist television network would be a good start. Having seen Howard Dean emerge from obscurity via the internet, Gore has learned the power of positive media. Like Dean, Gore is fascinated with technology and how to channel it to suit his political ends. In fact, the lone highlight of Gore’s stillborn campaign for the 2004 nomination was his appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” in which he effectively portrayed a living human being. Was it the real Al Gore? Gore himself probably doesn’t know. But the audience liked that guy a lot more than the version they had become accustomed to over the past ten years. Should Gore launch an avowedly left-wing TV network, his smiling face will be beamed into millions of homes everyday. In 2008, Hillary will have a Senate record to defend, but Gore will have only a blooper reel. In the meantime, he can carefully – electronically – manage his public image, neatly editing out all signs of stiffness, insincerity and well-bred arrogance. frontpagemag.com
