Gore Sits With the President-Elect; Both Stay on Message
No “climate czar” offer. No surprise announcement on a roving global ambassador post. Nothing from President-elect Obama and Al Gore himself in remarks to the press following their Chicago meeting today that would indicate any major role in the new administration.

Back and better than ever…
No news coming from the campaign trail even comes close to touching the Veepstakes for sheer buzz and excitement.

Some glimmer of hope for Hillary and her supporters? After a rather brusque put-down from VandeHei and Allen in Politico over the weekend (an article that basically said that HRC has no chance to win and is being carried along only by an adoring media), Nagourney of the NY Times reminds us that there is […]
Gore speaks: And he only wants to be POTUS
Haven’t heard much from ‘ol Al Gore lately. That is, until today, when he received his Nobel Prize for global warming with the UN IPCC panel. It was a grand affair, complete with a lengthy and impassioned speech from Gore himself. Not much on politics, however.
But in an interview with CNN after the ceremony, he […]
