TBV Feature: Is Gore running for 2008?

Steve Soto thinks For A Guy Who Isn't Running, Gore Is Busy In Florida The Left Coaster 03/13/06. He writes:

Gore fired up a crowd of 400 in West Palm Beach yesterday, as he was raising money for Senator Ben Bill Nelson and other Democrats. Gore is spending more time in Florida to raise money for Nelson, who is in a race against a failing and maybe soon-to-be-dropping-out Katherine Harris. Gore sure is racking up IOUs for a guy who supposedly isn’t running in 2008, and is having fun sticking it to those who previously stuck it to him.

Indiana Senator Evan Bayh will be speaking to Georgia Democrats this week on how the party can win national elections in red states, namely by holding onto its base and reaching out to independent voters and "reasonable Republicans", instead of the DLC method of basing your campaign on the independents and assuming the support of your base because they have nowhere else to go. ...

And yes, there are days when a Gore/Clark ticket sounds really good.

Gore and Clark, I'm down with that. In fact, that sounds good to me most any day.

But I have to wonder if Clark couldn't do more good as Secretary of Defense. He might really be able to reorient the military toward a more realistic approach to national defense, one that no longer requires the US to be spending half or more of the military budgets of the entire world.
