Now that Al Gore has won the Nobel Prize, people are speculating he may run for President.
It's not going to happen, and here's why.
Gore is on a career high. People are throwing awards at him right and left. He's making tons of money. To run for President, he'd have to take a year off from that. He'll never quit what he's currently doing while things are going so well for him.
Not only that, but one of the things causing his current career high, is that he can claim to be in the unique position of someone who was almost elected President, and - so he likes people to think - was indeed elected, and unfairly prevented from taking office. He's greeted on the left as a kind of living martyr.
If he runs - and doesn't get elected - that's finished. That's over. Then he's just another also-ran.
That's why he's not going to run.
