Gore not planning to run for president
By Rose French, Associated Press Writer | March 20, 2006
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. --Former Vice President Al Gore said Monday he's
not planning to run for president in 2008 but hasn't ruled out a
future in politics. "I'm enjoying what I'm doing," Gore told an
audience at Middle Tennessee State University, where he gave a lecture
on global warming, one in a series.
"I'm not planning to be a candidate again. I haven't reached a stage
in my life where I'm willing to say I will never consider something
like this," he said. "But I'm not saying that to be coy; I'm just
saying that to be honest -- that I haven't reached that point."
Gore, a Democrat, lost the electoral vote to George W. Bush in 2000 in
one of the closest presidential elections in history. Some Democrats
still keep him in mind for another presidential run, according to
several early polls on potential candidates.
Since his loss, Gore, who turns 58 next week, has occasionally
delivered speeches on global warming and other political issues, often
criticizing Bush policies.
He also co-founded a television network, Current TV, which started in
August and mostly features documentaries by young filmmakers.
"An Inconvenient Truth," a documentary on Gore's global warming
awareness campaign, premiered this year.
