Big Time Magazine cover story on The Last Temptation of Al Gore this week. Among those declaring that Gore, should he run, would win the presidency is none other than Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs.

“If he ran, there’s no question in my mind that he would be elected,” Jobs told Time magazine.”

This is hardly surprising. In fact, it is expected. After all, when Jobs was in trouble for backdating stock options (also known as ripping off shareholders), he created an internal committee of Apple board members, led by Al Gore, to “investigate”. Shockingly, Al Gore cleared Steve Jobs of any wrongdoing. Despite the mountains of evidence.

Steve Jobs scratches back.
