1. Some supporters urge former vice president to reconsider '04 race

2. By Peter S. Canellos, Globe Staff, 8/7/2003

3. WASHINGTON -- Former vice president Al Gore is set to deliver a highly promoted attack on the Bush administration today, prompting a new flurry of speculation that he may be testing the waters to enter the presidential race, though his office insists he will not.

2. Gore is Great, But...

...He made it very clear in that same speech he (still) isn't running. I'm disappointed, but I understand.

One thing I found very interesting about the speech was how far different his thoughts are from his former running mate's, Joe Lieberman, particularly on the subject of Iraq. Anyone else pick up on that? I also find it interesting he chose MoveOn.org has his sponsor. I don't think it's an accident. Was he sending a subtle signal about his 2004 pick without a formal endorsement? It got me wondering.

3. There is a massive grass roots campaign emerging to Draft him

and avarything he saud was true, but by being drafted he will be able to enter the race in an untarnished way. We'll be inviting him to lead insted of him pushing himself on us. It's the only way it can work.

4. One of the greatest speeches of my lifetime!

I was so impressed by the consistant slamming of the Bush administration, I thought it was a dream.
