Our Dear Vice President Gore. We need your influence & leadership which will be felt with unparalleled influence by being President. It is tragic if you decide not to run. No-one else has the wisdom and stature you possess. It is hard for us to understand if you say no to this emergency we have for leadership. The world will hear you & see you everyday. We need you for peace, the environment, the economy & the people. Please change your mind. Please pray about it. Listen to all our hearts.

@prede89. Yeah it would have great to see Gore run again back in 2004 and 2008 but I don't blame him for choosing not to run again, I wouldn't have wanted to run either, he already ran twice for president, he was in politics for 24 years, he has plenty of other activities going on for himself now, it costs a lot to run, it's 100 percent time and dedication you have to put into your campaign and if you are elected, it's a 24/7/365 a day job, who would want a shitload of stress like that??

haha yeah! He is the true winner after all it's only fair.

I consider him my former President.

[prede89]

I know how disapointing! I really wanted to vote for Al Gore, gah!!

[Cheaster]

[prede89]

we really do need him in 08

[prede89]

yeh i wish he ran

[prede89]

Damn I wish that were so... GORE 08!!!!

[prede89]

I really wish he ran for president. He was the most quelified, bst choice, most experienced, and only one who could fix the problems Bush has made for us. What a shame he didn't run, he disapoints me. He's my hero too... Damn I allways looked up to this guy, why did he have to let me down? He would have won in 2008 if he were to run, and he should have won in 2000. The people like him now, why didn't he run. I'm so disapointed Gore...
