Gore is a real wild card. Coming from out of the "wilderness", as part of a Clinton administration that even some conservatives are looking back at more fondly, no problem on Iraq, not really a "whacko" on the environment (in fact, he has spent a lot of time with CEOs over the past few years on the issue, and...as you noted...he has gained a lot of respect from them). And, he's not Bush...being as much "not Bush" as possible will be more and more important as 08 nears.

i think mccain is too old and too much of a flip-flopper. i can just see him wetting his finger and holding up to the wind to see which way he is going to go on an issue..... don't worry about gore to much.... too much of a problem with foot-in-mouth..... and can expect him to run like an attack dog which would make his problem even worse.... john edwards, the slick boy, is the one we have to worry about... course my position is that i could go with just about anyone as long as they are not an elitist fake war hero..... or they don't have a long list of dead bodies amongst their staff/friends....

think the sleeper is Gore. Watching Fox news this morning I was surprised at the support he got from the business pundits. Perhaps Gore's family's former partial ownership of Occidential Petroleum has the business pundits pleased to see talk of him running. Gore has a few skeletons in his closet, and his family's former stake in Occidential Petroleum is one of them. It's hard to imagine how sincere he is about global warming when his family's wealth is derived from one of the big fossil fuel companies that he derides. Perhaps Gore is the next best thing the oil cartel has to keep themselves from being regulated out of existence? They know the Bush dynasty will not continue. Sure Gore makes a lot of public waves, but privately he's on their side and will ensure that any new global warming regulations are not too onerous. Gore the Green Washer President. He certainly was a disappointment as VP for 8 years regarding environmental issues. Environmentalists were wondering what ever became of Green Al once he ascended to power? Green Al was ensuring the green from Occidential Petroleum continued unabated.
