re: General Election Should he enter after primary caucus, Spring '08, his campaign strategy would be directed to back-channel acquisition of national party apparatus, delegates, and extra-legal fund raisers. Doubtless he could raise record level of ad money from a very small set of fundraisers to manufacture consent within the electorate which is highly fragmented in approvals of unitary theory, messiahianism, 2000 POTUS benefit, and oh global warming. Democratic "frontrunners" are unlikely to concede the popular primary results. xBecause Gore is friendly to "free trade" and finance capital markets, his cost of securitizing his subaltern agenda will require substantial "compromise" of public testimony to assure extant congressional business. MSM is likely to dilute market penetration of Gore paid advertising.
GE Results: another contested electoral college vs. popular vote. SCOTUS, having established principle (precedent, authority) of franchise arbitration, would decide the victor from among the candidates' putative returns.
He's done with politics. He's gone commercial. Kerry shut the window. Put a fork in it. Deal with the assholes you have, not the ones you wish for. Better yet, act every day in your own political, economic interests: Don't play the game. Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
he can't obtain plurality of Democratic delegates, doubtless already beholden in each state to "frontrunners".

But on my side of the world, I believe today is 13 October, three months (actually less than 90 days) before the first in a series of rapid-fire POTUS primaries, of which 37 states conclude by 19 February.
My intuition whispers to me, even if Gore is a "frontrunner" in a 4-way race, the majority of delegates will express their unrequited love for his long-lost candidacy in a ballot for another. After all, American common wisdom rewards the common wisdom of Iowa, N Hampshire, S Carolina, (poor, dear Florida), NY, and California.
That's a bucket-full o' media money Gore must commit, at least.
I did say, didn't I, to enter now would be inefficient? Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
