early primary date and Gore

[wildflowergardener]

I wondered if the early primary date would affect whether Al Gore could join the race or not. I got worried when I started to hear it could be in December or possibly even earlier. That would only give him a few months.

I'm still holding out for Gore though.

1. the draft gore movement is building a foundation

for al to run on. he will be just fine. please remember that campaigns NEVER used to start this soon.
al will be fine.

2. campaign

Well I kind of wondered if this could have been a ploy by the republican party to try and keep Gore from entering the race late cause I'm sure they are afraid of him entering - set the primaries so early that Gore can't enter and only who's in now can stay in.

3. something is driving it, that is for sure.

what that something is, i cannot fathom. maybe it is the networks, wanting to keep the funds flowing. or the candidates, trying to stretch it out, make it harder for those with less money.
but as far as al, i think he can jump whenever he wants to jump.
