I don't mean to dis the guy, but he really is out of the loop and uninformed to the point that he really doesnt know anymore than the average internet aware google user.
I know what your saying, but his perceived insight, as well as the things TL just posted make Gore's thoughts news worthy whether he's actually in the loop or not.

I think he'll get to run in '04. After all, he did get more popular votes than any other man in history. I seem to remember reading that somewhere, or was it Reagan?(**see edit**)

If Bush is still as popular then as he is now, or even close to it, I think the other contenders would be more than happy to let Gore have another shot and bide their time until '08. I could be wrong, but that's my guess.

EDIT - Popular Votes Research Update(as if anyone cares...lol)

1st Place - In 1984 Reagan received the most votes ever for a presidental candidate, and won re-election, with 53,428,357.

2nd Place - In 2000 Gore received the second most(official) votes for a presidental candidate, but lost the Electoral College, with 50,456,167.

3rd Place - In 200 Bush received the second most votes for a presidential candidate, but won the Electoral College, with 50,996,064.
