And neither did W's history of DUI nd drug use, but they didn't get publicly busted and they had the Republican purge network working on the historical record.
Gore won't run
As much as I'd like to see it, I don't think Gore will run. It's too bad about his son, but I don't think it will make any difference. He's already made up his mind; I don't think Al wants to face the neocon media slime machine again.
