A grass roots effort to draft Al Gore for the Democratic nomination has gotten underway in California. Activists there will attempt to put his name on the ballot in all 53 congressional districts. They need 26,500 signatures of registered Democratic voters by the deadline of December 4th. The Gore camp is aware of the draft effort, and has not asked that it be stopped. In 2003 Gore asked that draft efforts cease. Until "he gives a Sherman" the group will go forward with the ballot initiative. He's got my vote.
