Draft Al Gore Alert

Funding’s dried up and Mary Beth can no longer afford hosting for the Draft Al Gore 2008 site. Damn, she’s worked so hard and given up so much for this! Any of you geeks out there have a server where she can host it for free until after the mid-terms (when, presumably, people will be willing to donate again)?
I don’t think it’s that people aren’t interested, because whenever there’s publicity, people respond. It’s that, in order to get to the serious fundraising level, the DG2008 PAC requires seed money.
And people are starting to take the idea seriously. Eric Alterman today:
Wanna draft Al Gore for 2008? I do, sorta, though I’m a little internally divided about this, as is Gore, alas. Anyway, this strikes me as the most serious of the efforts that are out there so far. So I dunno if he’s the ideal candidate or not, but let’s find out. Get to work, making democracy work, again.
If you can donate now, please do so - even if it’s ony $5. Come on, that’s a cheap meal at Mickey D’s (and God knows, we don’t need the calories).
Okay, done.
