Former President Bill Clinton and political blogger Andy Ostroy are now predicting that Al Gore will enter the 2008 race. I'm personally in the camp that believes he'll be jumping into the race too, so this is no surprise to me. NewsMax has the story:

Hillary Clinton may be the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, but her husband Bill thinks she’ll likely face stiff competition from a yet unannounced source – Al Gore.

Bill was at a get-together at the apartment of Air America’s new chief Mark Green when political blogger Andy Ostroy asked the former president if he believes Gore is going to run, according to the New York Post’s Page Six column.

"Someone’s got to fizzle,” Clinton answered. "If someone fizzles, then yeah, he could enter the race. He’s got plenty of money, his own money, to do it.”

Ostroy predicts that it will be Barack Obama who fizzles by September, and "Gore will toss his hat into the ring and enlist the junior senator from Illinois as his running mate. An unbeatable ticket.”
