Gore decided not to run. Doh!

Actually, I think it's the right decision on his part. I'd like to see someone new come to the fore, and also Gore could tell that if he ran, the press would give him much of the same shit they gave him two years ago ("He's reinventing himself again", "He's uncomfortable in his own skin")

As for endorsing anyone, TFM reiterates that it is mega-early. However, I am very interested in both John Kerry and Howard Dean. One of those guys, with Edwards, Landrieu, or congressman Lewis as a runningmate could be enough to oust Bush, what with the true spirit of the GOP coming out via Trent Lott. That fellow could have, with one "winged" remark, brought an end to Nixon's "southern strategy".
