Grist’s nonprofit status obviously means we can’t endorse any presidential candidate, and I doubt I’ll personally decide whom to support until much closer to the election. But one thing I will say is that — for all the reasons aptly described in Tim Dickinson’s new Rolling Stone piece — Al should run.

Run, Al. Run.

(Full disclosure: Dickinson is writing a piece about Grist for Outside magazine. He is also erudite, devastatingly handsome, and possessed of rapier wit.)
