But I thought that Al Gore was a rock star

I thought everyone was wild for him. He was a "rock star," "The Goracle," "superhero" and the "coolest guy" at the Oscars. Some even saw his new popularity as a chance for him to launch a second attempt at the White House but alas, it doesn't seem to have translated into support for a presidential bid:

A new Gallup poll released today finds that, actually, relatively few Democrats think he could win the White House next year.

The survey found that 74% thought Sen. Hillary Clinton would have a good or excellent chance to win, with 71% feeling the same way about Sen. Barack Obama. A still healthy 52% gave former Sen. John Edwards this kind of chance. But only 31% gave good or excellent odds on Gore.

Sixty-eight percent give Gore a "slim" or "no" chance to beat a Republican next year.

I thought that the netroots loved him. They must have been under sampled. I bet he would win an online poll :-)
