Al Gore for Prez

No.

Politics may not be the most useful platform on which to move his cause forward. It is only a legislative driver.

He will do it much better by garnering the support he already possess, strengthening further through publicity from winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

He can work with all sides of the political framework, prevent possible narrowing of support because he is a Democrat. Certain industrial leaders, particularly those who will be able to create the biggest impact, are Republicans.

He will be 64 in 2012. Still a good age for President. Give another 5 years, the mess in Iraq will hopefully be resolved. A Democrat President winning the next US Presidential elections seems to be the current hot bet. International relationships should be on the mend. Perennial problems with "axis of evil" countries should be better managed.

By 2012, the US Presidential elections will probably be fought on mixture of issues including sustained economic growth for US with emergent markets maturing, efficacious use of natural resources vis-a-vis cleaner technology and increased reliance on renewable energy resources, global effort in eco-system care and conservation.
