There seem to be a lot of people who think that Al Gore should run for President. These people are out of their minds - the media would turn on him and destroy his candidacy. Look at the reaction to his Nobel Prize - you have the Fairfax press running a piece with one of the very small number of qualified climate-change deniers. There's absolutely no balance to the piece at all - everything Gray says is left unchallenged, and it doesn't mention just how completely out of step he is with the rest of the scientific community.
The Murdoch press is even more feral, and then you look at the US media. It's just insane. It would be nice to think that the 12 year olds that make up the political pundit class have learned from their behaviour in 2000, but that's just folly. They'd love to destroy him again.
