Did you know the infamous DraftGore.com Website has less than 100,000 signatures on its petition as of July 3rd?

::::::::

You know it's a good idea - Al joining the race. Think about it. He's the only person in politics who understands science. The planet literally needs him. Sign the petition. You don't need to be American. And forward this email. I'm sending it to more people than I've ever sent an email before.

According to this on Daily Kos, Gore couldn't possibly declare before July 8th. But he continues to indicate that he would need more encouragement.

Come July 8th, Gore Can Announce by Kal Sun Jul 01, 2007 at 12:05:48 PM PDT
Conventional wisdom on this site and among political pundits has been that, if Al Gore were to announce a run for the White House, he could not do so before July 7th, the date of his world-wide Live Earth concerts. If he, for example, announced tomorrow that he was running for the nomination, then all the work for Live Earth would be derided as a purely political show intended to help Gore win the nomination, and the case for action against the threat of Global Warming would be lost. Therefore, to avoid jeopardizing the underlying theme of the concerts, Gore has to wait until July 8th, at the earliest.

With Clinton, Obama, Edwards, and others running for the nomination since last January or earlier, is it too late for another candidate to jump into the fray? With Clinton and Obama raising a combined $60 million this quarter alone, how could Gore hope to compete? And when would be the best time for a Gore announcement?
