Tipper Gore Ready to Support Another White House Run (by Al Gore)

She's spent five years recovering from the last run at the White House, but Tipper Gore says she's ready if her husband wants to do it again.

"If he were going to run in the future, of course I would support him," Tipper Gore told ABCNews' Claire Shipman in her first television interview in four years. "I think he'd be a fantastic president. He already got a majority of votes of people in this country once, and so that says something."

(snip)

At the premiere of his film, Al Gore was more circumspect, however. His exact words were, "I don't have plans to be a candidate again." His wife said not to read too much into the phrasing, however.

"Let me say it exactly," Tipper Gore said. "He has said, 'I'm not interested in running in '08.' Now, as he also says, he's 58. He's got many more years. He probably figures, 'Who knows what might come?' He never imagined he'd be in the movies, walking up a red carpet in Cannes."

2. Not yet.
First, we've got a little thing called a midterm election.

It's over two years before the 2008 election. It helps only the Repugs to be in permanent campaign mode.

Al's got a good 18 months before he has to decide. We all need to relax. Take a breath. Sip a glass of wine. Read a good novel. Go for a walk. Etc. :-)
