No Recount Needed!
Organizers of a Nashville rally designed to encourage Al Gore to run for president again aren't likely to ask for a recount of the attendance at a Draft Gore rally that drew tens of thousands thousands hundreds dozens and dozens a bunch "just over 100 people" on Saturday, a day with perfect weather for an outdoor event.
Despite a slate of musical entertainment and speakers planned for the afternoon, some rally attendees left early, carrying away red, white and blue ''Draft Gore'' signs and bumper stickers.
And, remember, that's in Gore's home state where you'd think he'd be popular. Of course, you'd have thought he'd have won his home state in 2000, too. But those who knew him best liked him least.
