'Gore in the balance'

Al Gore has proven there are second acts in America. The Economist's
Lexington columnist explains why he should be satisified with where he is in life -- and why he shouldn't become 'just another member of the 2008 freak show.' I agree. I like the current Al. ... Illustration at right courtesy of Economist.
P.S. - Lexington recently looked at America's secret love affair with royality --
American style. Another reason why one hopes Al doesn't take the plunge -- and why Hillary hopefully doesn't win. Twenty years of Bush-Clinton-Bush is enough.
