Draft Bloomberg or Draft Gore?

I chose the second option not because I don’t like Al Gore but because I don’t think he will run and I would have severe doubts that he would be a net plus to a Bloomberg candidacy. Gore has political baggage and it might be hard to say that he’s not a Washington insider or a Democratic partisan. I personally like him, but a lot of moderate Republicans who might vote for Bloomberg could be turned off by Gore.
