A previously unreleased video made during the Gore/Bush campaign "found" its way to the internet. It's an interesting watch if you haven't seen it yet. Take a look:
Part 1
Part 2
Now, I'm not naive enough to believe this innocently became public. Gore can claim he is never running again all he wants, but his well orchestrated media blitz of late is paving a brilliant path that may allow him to be "dragged" back into the political spotlight in a few years. He should stand back and let the early democratic front runners beat each other up for a while. When the public begins desparately looking for someone they can look to on the left he is well positioned to reappear out of a sense of duty. At this point, I'm not sure I would be opposed to a scenario like that.
Despite any motivations behind releasing a video clip like this, it raises the obvious question of how different things might be today if the personality in the video had shown up for the campaign. Perhaps it would have looked like this:
