Let the Future Campaign Rumors Begin

Let the rumor mill begin.

Donna Brazile believes that Al Gore will run. If he loses the love handles.


''Wait till Oscar night,'' Brazile told an audience of about 100 people at Haupert Student Union. ''I tell people: 'I'm dating. I haven't fallen in love yet.' On Oscar night, if Al Gore has slimmed down 25 or 30 pounds, Lord knows.''


''An Inconvenient Truth,'' a film built around Gore's presentation on the effects of global warming, is one of the Oscar nominees for best documentary feature. A red carpet turn for the former vice president could make him as much a pop culture star as former first lady Clinton or Obama, whom Moravian College Democrats President Maria Smith compared to John F. Kennedy in terms of charisma.


Brazile added she is very proud of Gore raising awareness for global warming and feels "he is a good leader. I think he can be one of the few leaders who can bring this country together."

Alex Sink's longtime Bank of America associate Jim Cassady is hinting Alex Sink will run for Governor.


"I think cabinet meetings this year and going forward over the next several years, four years, eight years, 16 – I didn’t say that - are going to be interesting," Cassady said.


I'm not convince Gore will run. It's no secret that Florida Democrats want Sink to run for Governor. The smart thing for her to do is run in 2010. Being in office for too long can be a disadvantage.

  1. I am still of the mind that Al will run. He's just being extremely smart and sitting out the early mudslinging, all the while building his well-deserved reputation as an intelligent, problem-solving leader via the movie An Inconvenenient Truth, for which effort he has been nominated for an academy award as well as a Nobel prize.

    Go Al! Florida will be your friend this time around, at least, it will if I have any say in the matter,

  2. I want Al to run and I actually like his love handles. On top of making him appear a lot more relaxed and less rigid, it makes him human, just like everyone else.
