    <outline text="If the Democrats were going to sit down and construct the perfect candidate for 2008, they'd be hard-pressed to improve on Gore. Unlike Hillary Clinton, he has no controversial vote on Iraq to defend. Unlike Barack Obama and John Edwards, he has extensive experience in both the Senate and the White House. He has put aside his wooden, policy-wonk demeanor to emerge as the Bush administration's most eloquent critic. And thanks to An Inconvenient Truth, Gore is not only the most impassioned leader on the most urgent crisis facing the planet, he's also a Hollywood celebrity, the star of the third-highest-grossing documentary of all time.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;He's perceived very differently now than he was six years ago,&quot; says Frank Luntz, the Republican consultant who advised George W. Bush to dispute global warming during the 2000 and 2004 elections. &quot;He's an icon. Imagine that: Al Gore, Mr. Straight and Narrow, Mr. Dull on Wheels -- now he's culturally cool.&quot;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;Indeed, Gore is unique among the increasingly crowded field of Democratic contenders. He has the buzz to beat Obama, the substance to supplant Hillary, and enough stature to enter the race late in the game and still raise the millions needed to mount a successful campaign. &quot;Very few people who run for president can just step in when they want, with a superstar, titanic presence,&quot; says James Carville, the dean of Democratic strategists. &quot;But Gore clearly is one of those. He's going to run, and he's going to be formidable.

    <outline text="Al Gore Documentary On Global Warming Wins Oscar&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;LOS ANGELES, February 26, 2007 - Former Vice President Al Gore used the success of his documentary, &quot;An Inconvenient Truth&quot; to expand his efforts to educate people about global warming - and to tell a few jokes.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;The film turned Gore's road show about climate change into a film that won Academy Awards for best documentary and best song.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;Gore also teased a bit Sunday night about his plans to possibly make another presidential run, although backstage, he said he was not a candidate.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;The win was a triumph for Gore, who has kept a sense of humor about the 2000 election, where he won the popular vote, but lost the election to George W. Bush.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;My fellow Americans,&quot; Gore said Sunday. &quot;People all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It's not a political issue, it's a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started with the possible will to act. That's a renewable resource. Let's renew it.&quot;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;Earlier in the evening, Gore" title="abc11tv.com: Al Gore Documentary On Global Warming Wins Oscar" htmlUrl="http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=entertainment&amp;id=5068617" created="Wed, 28 Feb 2007 06:00:17 GMT" oc:tags="" oc:authorID="8352d87e-4e82-424d-ab47-437e69d7e406" oc:itemID="7">

He held the first congressional hearings on the subject in the late 1970s.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;On Sunday, Gore and his crew won the 2007 Oscar for Best Documentary for An Inconvenient Truth, a film built around the slide show Gore has given hundreds of times all over the world.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;The documentary deserved to win. It is no mean feat to make a film about a man talking and showing charts and graphs that's informative and entertaining enough to be the third-highest grossing documentary of all time.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;---ADVERTISEMENT---&#xD;&lt;br/&gt; &#xD;&lt;br/&gt;Earlier this month, Gore was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work calling attention to climate change. He just might win that award, too.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;There is a Forrest Gump feel to Gore's life. Gump, the fictional character portrayed by actor Tom Hanks in the movie of the same name, had an uncanny ability to be present when history was being made and to influence, albeit unwittingly, its course.

Actually, that probably gives them too much credit. It's not that they assumed it was accurate, it's that they didn't care.

Absolutely nothing is wrong with the event. What is wrong is their focus on &quot;Combatting Climate Crisis.&quot;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;It's wrong for two big reasons. First, whenever you fight or combat something, you are setting up sides, right and wrong, positive and negative and entering into the endeavor from a place of adversarial perception. The last thing we need right now in our move towards sustainability is more battle.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;Second, by focusing the Climate Crisis, what are they bringing global attention to? Correct, the climate crisis? From a Law of Attraction perspective, what do we want to focus global attention on? Right again, sustainability, or a clean environment or fresh air, or . well you get the idea.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;So how about it Al?

    <outline text="In the wake of Al Gore's victory (okay, technically it was Davis Guggenheim's victory, but you get the idea) at the Oscars, I anticipated a wave of positive press about Gore's efforts to raise awareness of global warming.  What I didn't anticipate were the numerous comments from the press . . . about Gore's appearance, specifically, his weight.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;The conventional wisdom seems to be that Gore cannot run for national office until he drops some pounds, as he did in 2000.  In addition to being shocked that this topic would even come up in the wake of the seriousness of An Inconvenient Truth, I was also struck by how those critics (and Democratic consultants, including, not surprisingly, Donna Brazile,) don't have a clue as to how people respond to image in politics.&#xD;&lt;br/&gt;Let's assume Gore jumps into the race (as I certainly hope he will.) If I were advising him (not that he needs to get into the habit of listening to advisers, as that's a big part of what did him in in '00,) I would tell him not to lose too much weight. Right now, Gore looks avuncular. And, for a Democratic presidential candidate, avuncular is a GOOD THING!!!! Remember how the Rove smear machine was able to portray Kerry and Edwards as effeminate sissies (all those stupid jokes about them being gay because they hugged so much) partially because of their physical presentations? Kerry was slim, overly well-groomed, and was caught on film windsurfing. (The fact that he was from the state that had just legalized gay marriage, and that the Democratic National Convention was held there, to boot, certainly didn't help matters as far as this image was concerned.) The meme of Edwards-the-prettyboy is still alive and well today-- major political web sites and news programs have made reference to the very popular YouTube video that shows Edwards scrutinizing over his hair before going on TV (and whoever posted it on YouTube accompanied it with the theme music &quot;I Feel Pretty.&quot;) An overly-attractive, too-well-groomed candidate reinforces the right wing smear machine's portrayal of Democrats as weak, effeminate sissies." title="MyDD :: Direct Democracy for People-Powered Politics" htmlUrl="http://www.mydd.com/story/2007/2/27/22532/5885" created="Wed, 28 Feb 2007 07:02:25 GMT" oc:tags="" oc:authorID="8352d87e-4e82-424d-ab47-437e69d7e406" oc:itemID="25">
