Richardson to be a candidate?

Can I vote for none of the above?

Could've gone with Edwards too. They're the only two that I feel ok voting for. Actually, I'm pretty positive on both of them. Unfortunately, Gore's been savaged in the press for most of the last decade, so I doubt that he'd have much of a chance. They'd all pile on again if he ran.

I agree that as in '04, Gore is making a big mistake passing up the '08 election. Along with Hillary/Obama/Edwards, he's the only other Democrat who could get competitive in this race.
In Gore's absence, it would be of benefit to Edwards to take up the environmental issues. He's already got the southerner and populist thing down.

Here's the list of Official and Potential Candidtates

as well as some some additional info including about Gore

I put down Gore. In Gore's absence, still Edwards, though I wasn't pleased with what Stoller characterizes as his "insane" comments on Iran.

I wasn't a fan of Gore in 2000 - he was the better man for the job, but he had a lot of weaknesses. Unlike most, the loss has made him stronger.

Take a look at the forum entries too

might well tap into a very potent unconscious urge for a "do over" in the American public.

...likely that others will announce their candidacy at a MUCH later date? It seems as though the recent onslaught of exploratory committees are really getting a head start on the election. What if there are a few sleeper candidates waiting to see what happens and then jump in at the last minute after this current crop have savaged each other for months on end?

I voted Edwards. Edwards/Obama, or Edwards/Clinton would be fine tickets. Having said that, I'll vote for the primary victor. :P

choice. Go to draftgore.com and sign the petition.

Except for Al Gore, more experience than all of them, in more areas. The Yeah-Buts about Richardson make me feel like he knows how to drive everything from a sportscar to a schoolbus to a jeep to a semi, and he's had a couple of accidents, while Obama just got his license... Hillary watched a lot of driving and now does quite well in one kind of vehicle. Edwards has as much government experience as, oh, Obama.

Richardson has actually been a diplomat in North Korea, and the Sudan, served in the House, in two Cabinet positions, and been a very popular governor, of a border state! All this, and he's Hispanic, too.

"Yeah, he'd be a good vice-presidential candidate." To someone less experienced? Why?!

1. Can't believe Kucinich isn't included on the list. I think, however, that that's sufficient indication of his chances;

2. I couldn't in good conscience vote for any of these clowns.
