From the AP:
Al Gore, the Democrats' nominee for the White House in 2000, says he has all but ruled out running for president in 2008, saying the best use of his time is to educate people about global warming.
"I haven't made a Sherman statement, but that's not an effort to hold the door open. It's more the internal shifting of gears," said Gore, referring to Civil War-era general William Tecumseh Sherman. "I can't imagine any circumstances in which I would become a candidate again. I've found other ways to serve. I'm enjoying them."
The consensus of opinion among drug defense lawyers in Aspen this week was despite his (and Clinton's) punitive record on drug offenses, support for the death penalty and disregard of civil liberties (a lot of wiretapping went on then), we'd be happy if he ran. Times sure have changed in the past six years. I didn't find a Hillary supporter among the group.
