I had the feeling the first time I saw An Inconvenient Truth.

Al Gore is waging the most interesting presidential campaign in our nation’s history.
He’s not running for president, though, at least not in any conventional sense.

No late-night calls to big corporate funders. He won’t be collecting a big campaign war chest.
No slick campaign commercials.
No attack ads either.
