Political Wire is reporting that Al Gore is secretly assembling a campaign team for a possible run for President.
Aware that he may step into the wide open race for the White House, former strategists are sounding out a shadow team that could run his campaign at short notice. In approaching former campaign staff, including political strategists and communications officials, they are making clear they are not acting on formal instructions from Mr. Gore, 59, but have not been asked to stop.I will believe the hype when Gore gives a speech in the state. Gore isn't running until he comes to Iowa.

Just like 2004. the Gore rumors won't die. The guy is not running.
I've been scenario spinning in my mind about who is most hurt by Gore running. I think Clinton would suffer and might have a harder time being viable in some precincts.
Obama might be hurt if he is no longer the only top-tier candidate who was against the war from the beginning.
Richardson might be hurt if he is no longer the only guy with a heavyweight resume.
Edwards might be hurt since Gore is also a white southern guy, but more experienced. On the other hand, if Edwards can hang on to the people who caucused for him in 2004, maybe a Gore entry would be good for him. Edwards could win Iowa in a five-candidate field with 35-40 percent of the delegates.
I just don't want Gore to take votes away from Edwards and Obama and have use get stuck with Hillary.
