They Still Want Him

Those [stagnant poll numbers] aren't discouraging Al Gore's fans and supporters.

The "[Draft Gore]" movement just sent out a release announcing a huge spike in their web traffic over the weekend, linked to Gore's Nobel Peace Prize victory. They also report that their petition, urging Gore to join the presidential race, has collected more than 200,000 signatures. That represents a jump of more than 70,000 signatures in a four day period.

"Interest in a Gore candidacy is skyrocketing," said Draft Gore founder Monica Friedlander. "People are stirred to action in record numbers by the possibility of America's greatest statesman and global leader becoming the next president of the United States."
