No Gore

Gore called up the NY Times the other night to say he's not running for prez. He sounds pretty darn certain about it.

That's too bad--this time I would have voted for him. (I hereby confess that in 2000 I voted, in the state of New Hampshire, for Ralph Nader. That was the state that Gore lost by ~15,000 votes, and which if he would have won he would have been elected POTUS. I am one of 15,000 American voters who inadvertantly turned that election. I am sorry.)

Gore's goal now?

"My whole objective is to change the mind of the American public so all the presidential candidates in both parties will want to talk about global warming."
