Top 10 Reasons Gore Will Run in 2008

From The Ostroy Report:

1. Legislative Experience: two terms in the House, two in the Senate

2. Executive Experience: two terms as vice president

3. Economic Experience: presided over historic seven years of prosperity

4. Iraq: His staunch anti-war stand was early and forceful

5. Environment: His decades of sounding the global warming alarm give him more credibility on this issue than any other candidate

6. Family Values: Stemming from their record-label-warning campaign days, the Gores project strong family values and a sense of morality

7. Passion: Since 2000 he's been the most outspoken critic of Bush and the GOP

8. Results: He won the popular vote in 2000; was robbed of the electoral college. He won 51-million votes in 2000, more than any other Democrat candidate in history, more than any Republican except Ronald Reagan in 1984, and 500,000 more than George Bush. Just think of the numbers he could put up after eight dreadful years of Bush

9. Fundraising: Gore has big, powerful, wealthy benefactors waiting on the sidelines to pour money into his campaign, and has the ability to compete with Hillary Clinton in this critical area. He also has the support of grass-roots organizations like MoveOn.org, and is a favorite in the ever-increasingly important blogosphere

10. Skeleton-Free Closet: At this point in his career, if there was any dirt to drudge up, we'd have seen it by now

The two major issues that will really help Gore in '08 are Iraq and global warming. The Iraq Debacle will be the issue in the run-up to the 2008 election, and Gore was against the invasion from the start. And no one is more credible than Gore on the global warming issue, which should also be big in 2008, particularly if we have bad hurricane seasons in 2006 and 2007.
