Stay and Fight: A 2000 Flashback:

With "An Inconvenient Truth" about to be released, speculation is rampant in Washington about Al Gore's 2008 plans.

Many Democrats are excited about the thought of the "new Al Gore," the post-2000 Gore, the Gore who goes around the media, says what he thinks, and lets the chips fall where they may.

Let's just say that Bill Bradley is not one of those Democrats. "He's moving left. It's a calculation," said Bradley, who believes Gore will emerge in 2008 as an "environmental populist."

Speaking to ABC News on the same day that the New York Post's Deborah Orin had a "well-placed Democrat" saying in an unconfirmed report that Gore "owns a ton of Google" that he could invest in a presidential race, Bradley was supremely confident that his former rival is planning to get back in the game.

"I don't think there is any question," Bradley told ABC News. "He made $50 million on Google. He's got the money to do it."
