I'm too lazy to check the archives, but I believe I predicted Gore as Obama's obvious running mate in January. The latest news.
"The only position higher than a Cabinet post is vice president. While Obama seemed to dangle that possibility in his answer Wednesday, he has repeatedly said it is far too early to discuss potential vice presidents because the nomination has not been won."
Coincidentally, the ad I see on the page is one of those fake polls: "Should Hillary quit?"
"It is also not clear that Gore, who had the job for eight years under Bill Clinton, would even want to be a vice president again."
Oh yes he would. You can take the man out of the wonk but you can't take the wonk out of the man.
Meanwhile, despite my intent to vote for John McCain, I must say I'm excited by literally none of his most plausible running mate choices. Some of them frighten me (I still worry that McCain will take Huckabee out of a misapprehension that this shores up his conservative base, combined with gratitude for Huckabee focusing 100% of his attack on Romney), others just leave me cold.
The best thing one can say about McCain's running mate is that whoever it is, won't be Dick Cheney.

There are 2 likely scenarios, as I see it:
1. Gore somehow changes his mind or reinvisions the VP and is chosen by Obama as the bottom of the ticket
2. The DNC forces Hillary to the bottom of the ticket
The Gore option is MUCH better
