Why Gore Likely wont Run

It has been a question that a lot of democrats have been asking themselves this election year over and over in some cases. Why wont Al Gore run? Now that he could finally win the thing with both hands tied behind his back and both his feet tied why doesn't he do it. If you listen to him tell it he says that he has "Fallen out of love with politics." That's probably one of the reasons o.k. but another one might be money. In the year 2000 when he won the general election and ended up having it stolen from him by the Supreme Court it is estimated that his total net worth was around 2 million dollars. After the election Gore got depressed. It was that period in 2001 2002 where he gained all that weight and grew that awful beard that he was walking around in and he looked like he was ready to go build himself a log cabin somewhere and just completely drop out. An amazing piece of luck presented itself to him in those years and it is called Google. He got in on the stock just as it went public and was going for under $10 a share. If you know anything about Google you know that between 2002 when the stock debuted and last Christmas 2007 the stock rose to over $700 a share. Gore Made a ton. It is estimated that his net worth is now somewhere between 100-200 million. This kind of growth in one's personal fortune can make anybody come out of a funk. Since his revival he has found a great cause to champion in global warming and it got him the Nobel Prize last december. I cant really blame him all things considered. Why should he go back into politics. it is interesting to note that while he has ruled out running for president again he has not totally ruled it out. It will be interesting to see what might happen.
