Gore rules out presidential bid

Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth was an unlikely box office hit
Former US Vice-President Al Gore has ruled out again making a late entry into the 2008 presidential race.
In an interview with Norwegian broadcaster NRK, he said he would not make a fresh bid for the White House.

Mr Gore told NRK he wanted to focus on his climate change campaigning, which won him a Nobel Peace Prize last week.

Smart man.

:(

I think the title of the report should read : BBC rules out Gore presidential bid.

Where do I get my Hillary sticker ? :evilfrown:

...it would be more like an "Anyone But Hillary" sticker. :puke:

I, personally, didn't plan to post on this thread. But I changed my mind.

Asked how it would affect his political future, he replied: "I don't have plans to be a candidate again so I don't really see it in that context at all.

"I'm involved in another kind of campaign. It's a global campaign to change the way people think about the climate crisis."

"I don't have plans to be a candidate again so I don't really see it in that context at all."

"I'm involved in another kind of campaign. It's a global campaign to change the way people think about the climate crisis."

He never said ruled out, that was the media. Everything Al Gore says is present tense, the media turn it in to future tense.

I believe this is just an effort to squelch his rising popularity after the Nobel Peace Prize and as the continuous record drought throughout the South and West make global warming more apparent every day to the people. The media are trying to shut down a potential candidacy now, as the Draft Gore movement is picking up steam.

Gore was misquoted. He said if you look at the original statement, it is no different from what he had been saying in the past. I believe he found this in the Guardian, UK, but I haven't looked for it yet.

Considering the strength of our field (even without Pres. Gore), I can't believe how dejected I've been lately. This coronation of The Queen has me absolutely depressed ... I feel like Al is our only hope to avoid the *inevitable*.....

:argh:

Asked how the prize would affect his political future, Mr Gore told Norway’s NRK television: “I don’t have plans to be a candidate again so I don’t really see it in that context at all.”

The caller's point was Gore's reaction to whether or not the prize will make him run, the answer was no, the prize doesn't change anything. But reading it myself, I don't know. I don't get any special message from it.

Typical.

Same as it ever was.

Because he still hasn't ruled it out.

All he said in that interview was, "I don't have plans to be a candidate again". Same thing he's been saying for a year.

Even going so far as to put words in his mouth.

Why are they so afraid?

...Hill's Shills know that, as long as the possibility remains that Gore is an option, they won't be able to completely stampede everyone into their "we have to unite behind our obvious nominee right now" meme, and thus short-circuit the nomination process before it even begins.

Oh how sweet.

he said.
