Gore mulling third party run in '08

[Scooter24]

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton faces a possible new threat to her presidential ambitions.



Former Vice President Al Gore has again been entertaining offers to run for president. Gore has been discussing a run for a third party nomination with family and close aides.



"Al Gore has been energized by the attention he's been receiving as America's leading environmentalist," a political source close to Gore said. "He believes this might present an opportunity to become president or at least try again."



Sources close to Gore said Ralph Nader has sought to recruit the former vice president to run as the candidate for the Green Party. They said Gore has not rejected the offer and was consulting with family and friends to determine the feasibility of such a candidacy.

2. Run Al RUN

I'm afraid he might have to fight the right wing machine saying global warming is just the natural cycle of the earth crap the whole time, which would take away from other equally important issues. He'd have my support.

3. Insight is not what one might call a credible source...

the online version of the Moonie Times. Same sleazy outfit that published the phony Obama madrassa story.

5. The aliens reportedly used Osama's sperm.

9. As is spreading unsubstantiated rumors from anonymous sources

Now we know what the coming hype about Al Gore will be on Fox News.

13. Is this unattributed quotations week?

Rant against inept journalists #4: How to tell when you're reading complete nonsense. (Rants 1-3 concerned Katie Couric, Charles Krauthammer and Robert Novak, all of whom love to use unnamed sources or the words "some might say."

How to tell you're reading complete nonsense:

“A political source close to Gore said”
“Sources close to Gore”
“But sources close to Gore”
“The sources said”
“A political strategist familiar with Gore's consultations said”
“The sources said”

But no names, no direct quotations and no indication of why these "sources" should be considered credible. They're just "close to Gore."

12. Preposterous.

:eyes:

[Virginia Dare]

15. Total bullshit...

I'm not believeing this at all. If nothing else, Gore would not do this out of respect for his father.

[AndreaCG]

16. Get out!

After Nadir fucked up Florida, in part at least, and then true to the definition of insanity ran again in 2004, therre is NO WAY Gore would sit down with him. Or sabotage the Democrats.

[Learn2Swim]

17. Dogshit

If Gore were to run, he would run as what he is, a proud Democrat.

Looks like someone got to April Fools a few days early... Either that, or they live in a dream world.

[Dr Fate]

18. more "some people say" crap. If he did do it, the DLC Lieberman supporters would cry foul though.

Being the hypocrites that they are.

[oasis]

19. Insight Magazine = Washington Times. (eom)

[CRH]

20. Why would Gore want to fight the republicans, ...

and the democrats too, when he could co-op the later while only contesting the repubs? Consider the source, and ...

[geiger]

21. that is the stupidest thing I have ever read on DU

[Bridget Burke]

22. Gore was too much of a gentleman to say "Fuck off, Nader"?

Give me a break.

'Insight' simply makes things up, and this seems to be one more instance of that.
