An article written by Cybercast News Service quotes James E. Campbell, professor and chair of political science, on the chances that Al Gore will win an Oscar for his documentary on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth" and the groundswell of support in Hollywood for him to run for president again in 2008. "There's a 50-50 chance he'll run," Campbell says. "He could raise money quickly. He has so much [name recognition] as a vice president, a nominee in the past he would have to be a serious candidate. He did win the popular vote in 2000 and Democrats haven't forgotten that." Go to article.
