This past week, Al Gore has become a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, an alternative energy firm in Silicon Valley, and has pledged to donate his salary to Alliance for Climate Protection. Yet, despite the TV ad campaigns, promising polls, and amusing songs from his supporters, Draft Gore, the former VP has dug his heels in at every mention of running in the 2008 presidential election. In fact, his staff went do far as to request that California Draft Gore stop its attempts to put Gore's name on the state's primaries ballot.
Will the refusals continue? Despite his seemingly firm stance, activists are still requesting donations for a nonexistent campaign; furthermore, in a statement to his avid California supporters, Gore said " [if] I decide for sure not to be a candidate again – well, sorry. But if I do get back involved in the political system at some point in the future – well, keep that energy stored up and let’s have a go at it then."
Will Al Gore heed the call of the American public? Or will he leave that job to.....
JOHN KERRY?!? (dun dun dunnnn)

Al Gore in the Oval Office?
Due to his recent triumph, being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore has been speaking to President George Bush about attending an honorary ceremony, held in the Oval Office of the White House, for the winners of the Nobel Prizes. It seems that there is some speculation over if Gore will take the visit as more bitter than sweet, since he lost the election in 2000 against President Bush; however, Gore's spokespeople assure that this is not the case. Furthermore, there is more speculation over the possibility of - perhaps - Gore opening talks with Bush concerning the topic of global warming, as the two have taken extremely opposing views on the issue.
This could turn out to be interesting, if some talks were to start....
