Gore Update
Via Kos, it would seem Al Gore has heard the rumblings and pleadings from the Internets and has responded: No thanks.

Former Vice President Al Gore said Wednesday he had no intention of ever running for president again, but he said the United States would be "a different country" if he had won the 2000 election, launching into a scathing attack of the Bush administration.

"I have absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again," Gore told reporters after giving a speech at an economic forum in Sweden.

Still, of course, that's far from a promise not to run and he could easily have his "plans" and "expectations" change, but it kinda sounds like he means it.
