Al Gore in Conversation
A while back now we went out on a limb to predict that Al Gore would through his hat over the wall and run for the presidency. And while we are still hopeful for that possibility, it appears less and less likely. He seems to be truly enjoying his position sitting on the lip of the cauldron we call our political system, and commenting both on just how hot it is in there, and how overcooked the whole system seems to be.
Yet watching him in conversation with Charlie Rose at New York's 92nd Street Y, leads us to be even more hopeful that some time this fall - when it is late enough in the campaign for him to come in without getting to deeply enmeshed in the orgy of overstatement and succumbing to the pressure to be positioned.
A while back now we went out on a limb (here and again here) to predict that Al Gore would throw his hat over the wall and run for the presidency. And while we are still hopeful for that possibility, it appears less and less likely.

Here's hoping... and here is a link to the conversation.
