Gore rules out 2008 US presidential run

AFP - Former US vice-president Al Gore reiterated here that he does not intend to run for president in 2008 -- though he did not entirely rule out doing so further in the future.

Gore, now an environmental campaigner, ran for president in 2000 against the incumbent George W. Bush, but lost the race amid a bitter dispute over electoral votes in the state of Florida.

He said: "I don't have plans to be a candidate again and though I haven't... completely ruled out any possibility of running at some point in the future I don't expect to and cannot perceive circumstances in which I would."

Gore was speaking alongside Virgin chief Richard Branson at the launch of the Virgin Earth Challenge, a 25-million-dollar science and techology prize to encourage a viable technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

Gore served as vice president in the Democratic administration of Bill Clinton.

Good.

He'd really shake up the field if he decided to run

Who was it herer that just insisted he was going to run and that his movie was a stunt for his election?


That person should come in here and admit they were wrong.
