Poll: Gore leading in New Hampshire

On Wednesday, The Politico reported that a recent poll has Al Gore in the lead among all Democratic candidates for president. I'm not sure whether to be encouraged or discouraged by that.

Regardless of how he's faring in the polls right now (and he's looking quite strong), I really hope Gore jumps into the race. There's no doubt that he has to look at such poll results and really ponder a run, regardless of whether he says so publicly or not. It's not hard to imagine why - this is a man who came within one vote of the Supreme Court of winning the presidency, and the American people elected him in 2000, by about 550,000 votes.

Run Al, run. You can urge Gore to run by signing this petition.
