1. Revenge: Get back at the Clintons for deep-sixing his earlier campaign.
2. Many Americans think he lost the election unfairly and want to give him a
second chance.
3. He has a new position of stature because of championing environmental
issues and winning the 'Nobel Prize'.
4. He looks good...He looks Presidential.
5. Out of all the other hopefuls, only he has the look of a statesman.
Very much like Ronald Regan.
6. The time is right to do this...just like JFK did.

If he decides to take this election...I'll be glad to manage his campaign in
West Virginia.

While I'm not a big Al Gore fan, admittedly, he outshines ANY candidate from EITHER party and has far more qualifications. He looks presidential and he has the look of a statesman as mentioned by the OP. Perhaps these are shallow qualities, but in reality they seem to work as well as substance. Ronald Reagan certainly got alot of mileage from looking the part.

Vote this presidential rock into office and you would have a president at least as effective as Reagan and Clinton the two most recent presidents having a presidential look.

Even though I mock Clinton and Reagan for their lack of substance, the overall mood of the country was basically upbeat during both presidencies, so, MAYBE having the LOOK is the mosst essential quality for a president. Without considering any other Al Gore qualities, could it be, that Al Gore, having the LOOK is just what we need to change the mood of this country for the better?
