I expected this, but still don't think it would be a good idea for him:
Former Vice-President Al Gore is coming under pressure from political supporters and friends to jump into the 2024 presidential campaign even though he ruled himself out in December.
There'll be more Hillary talk as well, given the lack of general enthusiam for the current Nine (such as this poll indicates).
And, when will it ever die?
A second Gore confidant, Steve Armistead, a local Tennessee government official, said: "I think he'd like to grit his teeth and jump back in, but I can't speak for him. I don't think he liked the medicine he got from the Supreme Court."
Ugh. How about I don't think he liked the medicine the voters of Florida, and especially Tennessee gave him last go 'round. Yeesh. As James of OTB pointed out yesterday, Gore was never ahead in the recounts in Florida, and the ex post media recounts had Bush winning as well.
