Campaign 2008
Al Gore Wins Nobel Peace Prize, Will He Run in ‘08?
Al Gore’s supporters are making a last-ditch bid to convince him to make another run for the presidency. Will he change his mind now that he’s won the Nobel Peace Prize?

In a full-page New York Times ad on Oct. 10, a group of grassroots Democrats, called DraftGore.com, published an open letter to Gore pleading with him to enter the race.
“You say you have fallen out of love with politics, and you have every reason to feel that way,” the letter read. “But we know you have not fallen out of love with your country. And your country needs you now — as do your party and the planet you are fighting so hard to save.”
Across the country, local draft-Gore groups have sprung up, preparing for signature drives to put Gore on the ballot in Democratic primaries, even as the clock on registration deadlines ticks down.
Some Gore backers hope that Gore might change his mind and enter the race after Oct. 12, the scheduled date for announcing the Nobel Peace Prize, for which he is a nominee because of his work on global warming.
The urgency that these rank-and-file Democrats feel about a Gore candidacy derives, in part, from the inadequacies of the current crop of presidential hopefuls who are seen as lacking the foresight, the experience or the gravitas that Gore offers.
Front-runner Hillary Clinton may have reinvented herself as an Iraq War critic for the Democratic primaries, but she was a staunch supporter of the war from 2002 to 2005, even aligning herself with Sen. John McCain’s advocacy for a military escalation.
In a Dec. 8, 2003, article, New York Times columnist William Safire dubbed Sen. Clinton “a congenital hawk” whose mantra on Iraq was “failure is not an option.”
It was not until George W. Bush’s approval ratings went into freefall in late 2005 — and Sen. Clinton was eyeing the Democratic presidential nomination — that she began repositioning herself as a war opponent.
By contrast, Gore was one of the few politicians of national stature who vocally opposed a preemptive war against Iraq amid the war fever of the time. In a speech in San Francisco on Sept. 23, 2002, he described the dangers of the Bush Doctrine’s muscular unilateralism and the harm that could result from charging into Iraq.

Metrosexual Is Out, Ubersexual Is Retro Coolness
Ubersexual
By: Jamie Chang
“Ubersexual” is a new term created by Marian Salzman-EVP & Director of Strategic Content of JWT-the largest ad agency in America, Ira Matathia, and Ann O’Reilly. It means a “return to the positive aspects of masculinity or “M-ness” of yesteryear (strong, resolute, fair, confident),” according to the writers, who helped spread the word on Metrosexuality in the first place.
The descriptor “uber” was chosen because it means the best, the greatest, says Salzman. Unlike Metrosexuals, who the authors now claim risk being seen as “sad sacks” who seem “incapable of retaining their sense of manhood,” Ubersexuals are confident, rugged and influential.
The list of Top 10 Ubersexuals includes George Clooney, Bill Clinton, Bono, Barack Obama, Guy Ritchie, Jon Stewart and others whose growing sex appeal reflects a drop-off in Metrosexuals’ popularity, according to the writers, who say Metrosexuals now seem high-maintenance, self-absorbed and overly dependent on women’s fashion tips.
The 41-year-old singer of Third Eye Blind, Stephan Jenkins seems to be a big-time Ubersexual, a quick mover with broad masculine appeal to many women and men. The Oakland native was UC Berkeley’s valedictorian in 1987, and he recently dated (and might still, if www.StephanJenkins.com is correct), 25-year-old singer Vanessa Carlton. Previous girlfriends include Winona Ryder and Charlize Theron.
But, as befits the label-resistant spirit, Jenkins rejects the Ubersexual tag altogether. “It seems like a marketing ploy,” he said. “I don’t think men need a ’sexual’ put next to their names. … What kind of sexual is the Dalai Lama? I want to be that.”
The San Francisco author of the best-selling “Tales of the City”, Armistead Maupin, has become a literary giant, an openly gay author whose appeal seems Ubersexual. When asked his thoughts on the Ubersexual label, he laughed. “It’s absurd. Are there any gay men on the authors’ list? No. She (Salzman) implies that homosexuals are naturally excluded from the list.” “The list,” Maupin added, “seems to suggest that gay men cannot be strong and masculine and sensitive and self-determined.”
Is Ubersexual a pseudo-academic prognostication, marketing ploy or a real new trend? This is NYC. There’s always room for all sorts of sexuality!
