Mr. Vice President, this is America calling. We're kind of screwed. We should have listened to you awhile back. Boy, that's already cost us, and it's likely to cripple us.
Mr. Vice President, this is America begging. Set aside your jet-set lifestyle. Set aside your pride. Set aside the weirdness of running for a job you already had and by all accounts didn't much enjoy.
Mr. Vice President, this isn't even about the Democratic Party anymore. This is America calling. There's a fierce urgency of now. We've got to find a way to solve our energy crisis and the looming change in our climate.
Mr. Vice President, there's no one else who can immediately and totally dominate this conversation. You'd have to tweak your message slightly, so as to emphasize our energy needs beyond the attached climate change issues. You might have to pivot to nuclear power. However you do it, Mr. Vice President, you're the man for the job.
Al Gore should dominate the short list. Gas ain't getting any cheaper, folks. It may dip slightly, it might even go as low as somewhere around three bucks a gallon at some point, but it won't stay that low (if it ever gets there again) for long.
We need an energy czar. The last few months has demonstrated, to me at least, that we need the robot from the future who we already sorta kinda elected eight years ago. We need someone who makes it absolutely plain that he understands how urgent this is. We need somebody who's less defined by how we do business now. We need someone who swings for the fences on these massive issues.
Putting Al Gore on the ticket makes it immediately obvious to America and to the world that incrementalism is dead. He also warns our nemesis, ManBearPig, that his antics are at an end.
