Could Gore's road to the Oval Office begin in Hollywood? - CNN.com

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- We've seen plenty of political moments at the Oscars before. But on Sunday, we could see the most unusual political moment ever.

Consider this scenario: It's Academy Awards night. Best documentary feature is up. And the Oscar is favored to go to . . . "An Inconvenient Truth," starring former Vice President Al Gore.

Lawrence Bender, producer of "An Inconvenient Truth," and the film's other producers come up to accept the Oscar -- with Gore. (Watch Bender explain while it might be Gore's time )

The audience roars its approval -- this is liberal Hollywood -- and Gore speaks.

"There's even some speculation that he would use his Oscar as the occasion to announce that he's running," Martin Kaplan, director of the University of Southern California's Norman Lear Center, told CNN. "Imagine that: a billion people worldwide! Take that Jay Leno, as an announcement venue!''...

This just in, and just happened at the Academy Awards a few minutes ago:

The rumors were part of an elaborate practical joke Gore played on the audience. When announced, he and Leonardo di Caprio talked about global warming, and during the speeches, di Caprio kept asking him if that, since he was a true leader in global warming, if there wasn't something higher he wanted to announce. Gore said that he was just there for the movies. Finally, after di Caprio asked Gore at the end of the presentation, Gore pulled out a piece of paper, and everyone started cheering as if he were going to announce. Gore then said, "At this time it is my intention to", then the music started up, and Gore walked off the stage laughing.

The whole thing was hilarious.

Gore is unelectable at this point. his image has already been crafted and he won't be able to reverse it.

All the more reason to run.The anti-war people will vote for Obama.The environmentalist will vote for AL gore.That leaves no liberals for Hilary.Things seem to work out just fine. But then I'm a Republican, I guess my analysis would be slightly skewed.

It doesn't matter who the Democratic candidate is. His image will be "crafted" by the Swift Boat liars or whatever character assassination group Rove puts together, and dutifully reported by media stenographers.
