Sad.
Hillary Clinton's lead in the race for the White House is now so formidable that, even with his Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore considers her unbeatable, according to his former campaign aides.
The former vice-president, whose supporters have formed a shadow campaign team in case he decides to run, has told friends he is reluctant to take on her formidable political organisation by throwing his hat into the ring.
Hmmm. Who remembers the inevitability of Howard Dean?
I suspect Gore would only jump in if he felt fairly certain that he'd win.
He needs to rethink this whole thing. The question is not: Will Hillary win, given the current political dynamic?
The question is: would Al Gore win if he made a sustainable new deal his platform?
