Fans of Al Gore are pushing him to become a candidate for the 2008 presidential election, according to ABCNews.com. The fans are a part of a group named Draft Gore which has its own website. They bought a $65,000 ad in the New York Times to display a letter to Gore that basically begged him to become a candidate. Radio ads are also being played by Draft Gore using slogans like, "He won once, he can win again." They're hoping that his win of a Nobel Peace Prize will make him change his mind on entering the election.
The website DraftGore.com was fun to explore. One of my favorite parts is a song "Run Al Run" featuring lines like, "lately the White House is quite well known for having lots of lights on but no one home." There is also a poster available to order online! But really, the site is good and offers a petition, lots of media, reasons to choose Gore, etc.
Newsweek published an article about the Draft Gore organizations. It also said that supporters are hoping that the Nobel Peace Prize he won Friday will urge him to enter the race.

Lizzy,
I also wrote about this topic last week. I thought it was interesting that you actually went on the website for Draft Gore and commented on it. I myself didn't have the time when writing my blog to go on it but after reading your comments about the song I think I might stop by it and give it a listen to.
I was also wondering what you thought about the idea of the former Vice President/Nobel Peace Prize winner running again?
