More Gore, please

We're going to be hearing more and more of this so long as the media hyperventilates over Clinton/Obama:

Veterans of Al Gore's past are quietly assembling a campaign to draft the former vice president into the 2008 presidential race — despite his repeated statements that he's not running.

His top policy adviser from his 2000 presidential campaign and other key supporters met Thursday in Boston to mull a potential Gore campaign. The participants and Gore's Nashville office both said Gore, who is in London, is not involved.

Elaine Kamarck, a veteran of the Clinton White House and Gore's policy guru in 2000, said the meeting was informal and shouldn't be taken as a sign there will be a Gore 2008 campaign.

Chris Mackin, a Boston consultant and Gore supporter, called it "an early stage conversation." But he added: "We're very serious about exploring this."

This is where Democrats should be wathcing, not how high Hillary's poll numbers are after one or two trips to Iowa, one year out. After all- Gore's pull is potent. We all know it and his people are eager to get him back in it when he is no longer tainted with the Clinton years and a Republican Congress investigating every fucking stupid thing the Democrats do (re: Pelosi post.)
