By Shawn Langlois. It’ll take more than three emoji to describe how Hillary Clinton must be feeling right now. That’s because a familiar face may have just popped up on her path to the Democratic nomination.

Al Gore Insiders “Figuring out If There’s a Path” for Him to Run
By Andrew Kaczynski. Supporters of Al Gore have begun a round of conversations among themselves and with the former vice president about his running for president in 2016, the latest sign that top Democrats have serious doubts that Hillary Clinton is a sure thing.

“They’re figuring out if there’s a path financially and politically,” the Democrat said. “It feels more real than it has in the past months.”
