Rawstory: Gore:'I cannot perceive circumstances in which I would'...

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/Gore_I_dont_have_plans_to_0209.html

Tell me this isn't so!! :(

he "has no plans".

Running for president is a huge burden. He's probably just done with it.

Just saying is all.

:cry:

*throws actual tantrum*

Gore 2008!!!!!!!

an Oscar and the Nobel Peace Prize----I too think he's getting his ducks in a row. However, as another replier pointed out, "why would he run?" Of course he did it once and I think we're all capable of repeating earlier behaviors....in his case, I hope so.

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."

To my knowledge - September 2007 is "some point in the future". Maybe he cannot perceive the circumstances yet (partly because circumstances are constantly changing on a daily basis) but I'm sure he can conceive of circumstances in which he would seek the nomination (don't see the difference? -- check your dictionary).

There is no hurry for Gore to enter the race for 2008. He is doing a great job raising public awareness about the climate crisis (he spoke to 10 000 people in Boise last month!). He will testify at a US Congressional Hearing in Washington on March 21st. Hopefully he might even get on stage at the Oscar ceremony on Feb 25th! :)

Gore is also busy working on his next book "The Assault on Reason" - to be published in May. The theme of this book - why we need better decision-making in government - is very timely (whether he runs or not).

Depending on how things pan out, and the reaction to his book, Gore can consider his situation over the summer and announce his decision (or if you prefer - "change his mind") sometime in the fall.

Don't forget that Bill Clinton did not kick-off his campaign until October 1991. But Al Gore already has nationwide respect and name recognition that other wannabees can only wish for! :)

Unless and until Gore endorses another candidate, we have to assume that he is keeping his options open. So it is too soon for those of us who prefer Gore to switch our allegiance.

Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore! :)
