The Presidential "Make Up Call"

So you know when everyone thought that Al Gore was this stiff tree of a man and unlikable and then lost a pretty close election riddled with amateur, at best, vote counters? Well, it's like the apple trees from the Wizard of Oz took some happy pills and the stiff guy kinda lightened up. He grew a beard and then shaved that beard. He made jokes about being the president and then stopped. And now he's campaigning against Global Warming and even won some cool awards. I can't say one way or another that Al Gore isn't a douche in real life, but he certainly is spending his time doing meaningful things. So here's how I'm feeling at the moment: I feel like saying "my bad" Al...my bad. In other words...If Al Gore ran for president, I would vote for him. Sure there are a million questions to be asked how he would have handled 9/11, terrorism, etc... but at this point, now that there's a democratic congress, and aside from simply voting for a historical candidate (a woman or a black man: both of whom really aren't ready for the Presidency anyway), let's just give it to the guy that probably deserves it most. So Al Gore, if you decide to run for President. You have my blessing and my vote.
