I must have been the last person on earth who didn't think Gore was going to win (how many times are they going to pass over Matti Ahtisaari anyway?), but okay. Glad I was wrong.

It had been hyped so much in advance that one could only wonder if they'd want to do thepredictable thing.

I guess the stakes are pretty high on climate change and it's no longer time to be playing.

It shows that the con media have to deal with Gore's triumph, and had to prepare to it. The occasion did piss them off a little, but they are still controlling appearances though.

Nobel prize for Gore... OKAY! Though his presidential run in 2008 would be worth another Nobel (and something better). Whether actual presidency is a viable perspective or not, real political issues are worth to be fought for. Gore is the only politician who would do it, and he should give that a shot.
