They're Still Talking About Gore in 2008

Washington Whispers reports that Gore friends are convinced he's going to run again. They want him to tap Barack Obama as his running mate. I don't know if the Democratic party is ready for two Dems who talk about Democratic issues like the environment and poverty, but by 2008 they might be.

Just imagine a President and a VP who can speak in complete sentences without snarling.

"It's Gore Time," says a political strategist and fundraiser who is opening a bid to get Gore into the race. Gore friends see his recent political and business moves as proof he's preparing to run. Allies say that in speeches, Gore has found his voice to address domestic and world issues. And in raising money for his Current TV network, which targets the critical youth market, Big Al has built an issue base and donor network that's competitive with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's. Our source--a top aide in the previous Bush administration--is planning meetings with Gore's team to push an early entry while Clinton runs for re-election in New York. It doesn't end there: The Gorebots want him to pick Sen. Barack Obama, the youthful Illinois African-American, as his No. 2.
