Draft Gore Launches Radio Ads in Iowa

The Draft Al Gore movement has launched radio in Iowa to encourage Al Gore to enter the 2008 presidential race.

The Draft Gore Committee launched its first radio ad today in Iowa. The 30-second ad, dubbed "You Who," will go national in July. It features a chorus of voices seeking Gore's attention and urging him to seek the Democratic presidential nomination.

The political action committee claims to have gathered 94,000 signatures on an online petition. It's not officially affiliated with the former vice president.

I like Al Gore and think he is doing great work on the issue of global warming. I am not one that would suddenly jump on his bandwagon if he entered the race, though. There are already a lot of quailty candidates in the race. If he did enter, it surely would make the wide-open race more interesting.
