Al Gore and Obama & when 2 become 1?
by Barbora Misakova


Those of you who remember the American presidential elections from 2000 must know the name of Al Gore. This 60 years old American former politician is more that this. He is environmental activist, author and businessperson, and in the mentioned year he was the Democratic nominee for president. Even he won the popular vote he didn't become a president, and I afford to say that he was lucky. This guy made a lot of work even if he wasn't sitting in the White House and signing plenty of papers. His name is connected especially with fights against the global warming. His efforts to build up better knowledge among people about climate change and efforts to work for foundations which are needed to counteract these changes lead to the Nobel Peace Prize. I don't have to say how popular he must be not only among Democrats but among people of the United States in general. Now imagine you have this kind of person alongside.Al Gore's appearance on presidential campaign on Monday leads to lot of questions. One of them is connected with need to choose a running mate. People around are curious if Obama chose Al Gore for his running mate, or not, and honestly I am a bit curious too. According to Associated Press report Obama was asked by voter to consider also this possibility. And when we count 2 and 2, it wouldn't be such a bad idea at all. Of course there is also a question what will Al Gore say about it. Some people think he is really happy now & when he is out of this political machinery and doing something really helpful and appreciated worldwide. On the other hand some voices say that Al Gore has nothing to lose & if Obama wins or not. So the question if Gore take this chance into consideration is hanging above the American presidential elections.
