Run, dammit

There are two things that will make me drop my current undecided status for the Democratic Presidential nominee. One is actually going to the polls next March with the nomination on the line. I can’t say how that will turn out – you may not want to get stuck in line behind me, as it could take awhile – but one way or another I’ll have to get off the fence and make a commitment.

The other is this.

Dear Al,

Can I call you Al? (I’m picturing you saying, “You can call me Al.” and then us chuckling over the clever Paul Simon joke).

Al, the love-ins are over.

No more Oscars. No more Leonardo DiCaprio kissing your butt. No more Time Magazine back-scratching. No more pretty, graphically pleasing websites begging you to run.

Clearly, none of this has worked. It’s time for a new tactic.

This time, we’re just telling you that you’re running.

That’s right. The option really isn’t yours anymore. We’ve decided.

You’re a candidate for President in 2008.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Please start preparing a platform.

Sincerely,

America

Yeah. It’s not that the choices we have now aren’t good ones. They are, and that’s why I’m having a hard time deciding. It’s just that this choice would be even better, and thus would settle things in a flash for me. Link via Susie.

One Response to Run, dammit

  1. Support Science to Reverse Global Warming, which Al Gore says is still possible says:

    Al Gore is my favorite candidate ever. He has the best survival skills among us all and for us all. He is full of courage, grace, humor and intellect. He would bring everyone together. He fought hard the first time in 2000 and is still fighting hard for us to survive as a species and as a democracy.
