Al Gore gets involved in Florida Senate race
Gore Says "Remember the Recount"
Six years after a lengthy recount fight left Gore just shy of the electoral votes needed to claim a victory over President George W. Bush, the former vice president is weighing in on behalf of Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), who is seeking a second term in November.
...
Are the speech (Monday in Washington, D.C., in which he accused President Bush of "repeatedly and insistently" breaking the law by authorizing the National Security Agency to wiretap U.S. citizens without court approval. ) and fundraising letter the start of a Gore reemergence on the national scene? Gore appears to be experiencing a renaissance of late among many liberal Democrats who believe his "pure" opposition to the Iraq war positions him perfectly for a 2008 bid. Many on the ideological left of the party also see Gore as the only candidate with the national organization and fundraising prowess to challenge Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) in the 2008 primaries.

It's been quite a while since I posted, and this is my first post since taking office as Mayor.
But Al Gore has got me fired up recently!
Quite exciting.
Politics and life have been getting active lately...
I have a Young Democrats meeting, tonight at the Ragged Edge coffeehouse (leaving soon) to attend, but I have a lot to blog about.
