Another Chance for Gore


..."More and more people are asking, 'What about Al Gore?' " says Steve Grossman, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

The Internet activists would turn cyberspace into a potent fund-raising realm for Gore if he does decide to get in, Grossman predicts.

Publicly, Gore hasn't ruled out running, but neither has he evinced much interest.

Ok, I admit it - I'm fishing too!
