Don't believe the (lack of) hype
According to Political Wire, Al Gore today told a Japanese group he addressed on climate change that he will not be running for president. He is waging a "different kind of campaign" to raise awareness of global warming.
That's all fine and good, but I still don't believe it. The Democratic field increasingly looks limited to the trifecta of Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. For various reasons, these three could easily split the primary voting quite evenly.
Today I will go on the record as predicting Al Gore will be the Democratic nominee for the Presidency in 2006 - and will only enter the race as a "consensus" candidate that all Dems can rally around after a divisive three-way battle between the aforementioned group. This will occur after most of the primaries and just before the Denver 2008 Convention.
To all Gore fans: do not despair, do not read too far into that quote from Tokyo. Gore is on the way.
