It has got to be Al Gore (British article advocating Gore to run)

Wow, even abroad President Gore has passionate support! The author has a point. The best way for Gore to solve the climate crisis is from a desk at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.

==Except that Al Gore isn't over, and has not gone away. On the contrary - his profile and organisational structure still in place - he has become America's true prophet of climate change. In the beginning, that seemed like retirement or a move to some showbiz style of career, starting liberal radio stations, making earnest movies. But events, if we're honest, have reshaped all that.

When Gore fully embraced the threat of global warming, half a decade ago, he was just one figure on one side of the argument. He said that carbon dioxide emissions were wrecking our world and that something had to be done. George Bush (and his Republican half of the world) didn't agree. There was no climate change and therefore nil need for uncomfortable action. Kyoto could be safely left to stew.

But that, crucially, isn't the case any longer. There isn't a debate in an artificially balanced way (if you leave Channel 4 documentaries and a few loony tunes out of the equation). We don't know precisely how serious the threat has become - somewhere between horrid and utterly disastrous - but science as a whole says a clear threat exists. American states from California to Rhode Island are unilaterally signing up for international protocols. American business can't sit this one (and its new technologies) out. Why, even Bush surreptitiously burnt his old beliefs at the G8 this month.==

==Is that possible when climate change is just one "normal" issue among many, to be ceremonially weighed against US jobs or gas prices or Chinese imports? It's not. But that, with inevitable shades of emphasis, is where every extant presidential candidate stands. Too timid, too slow. Global warming is an utterly abnormal issue that needs a leader all of its own. Gore has fashioned himself as that leader. He can't just sit there and pontificate. He has to run. And, when he does, the rest of us have to put inconvenient illusions aside and listen.==

consult with a company that assists US businesses in outsourcing jobs to India.

I applaud the Clintons for realizing that India is the Next Big Thing ("again", they've just been suffering from some sort of bad karma for the last few hundred years), but does their interest have to come in this form.

And I also see here on DU that Hillary has taken big money from the international pharms, who are bad people making a mess of Africa...

Edit: It's the health care industry, not the pharms, right? Gotta dig deeper..

This is going to be another "lesser evil" election, isn't it? :-|

He also has the same position on outsourcing as HRC. HRC is being vilified by Obama supporters for things that their hero himself is guilty of...

She is the Marie Antoinette of the Dem Party right now.
