Nobel news

[blamebrampton]

Al Gore and the IPCC have jointly been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I am quite happy about this; now I can face next week even if the Australian PM calls an election on Sunday.

LOL... if he ever does call an election. I think his delaying it cause he so knows his going down

The smart money says Sunday. I agree with you, but then, he's wily this one, so I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

Now, let's talk about an American election... he's got to run, now. HE HAS TO.

OH GOD!!!

I can't remember if it was in the New Yorker or Harpers that they were positing the scenario where he holds out until the primaries are underway, then, if Obama and Clinton are starting to look all rather muddied by the whole process (and there are few processes muddier than American elections, my heart still bleeds for John Kerry), then Gore could be persuaded to step in as the shiny wholesome canididate.

And since the US has already voted him in once, we know it can happen! (On a related note, is it wrong for me to hope the GOP goes with Fred Thomson for no better reason than I find him hilarious?)

Ignore typos. New laptop, which I love dearly but haven't got the hang of yet.

If he doesn't announce in the next month or so, I'm going to assume that he's not going to run at all. I suppose your described scenario is possible, but I would hope that he wouldn't just waiting in the wings as a contingency plan.

Oh, I hope so, too.
