Al Gore Hints at Presidential Run
For the first time since he retired from politics four years ago, former Vice President Al Gore is hinting that he may be ready to get back into the ring with a presidential run.
Following a presentation of his new global warming movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," in Atlanta earlier this week, Gore was pressed on whether he'd consider running for president.
"I’m a recovering politician," he told Atlanta's Progressive News. "But you always have to worry about a relapse.”
The ex-veep's eye-opening comments come on the heels of his appearance last week on "Saturday Night Live," where he delivered a mock presidential address from the Oval Office boasting about what would have been his accomplishments had he won the White House.
Last week the Wall Street Journal quoted an unnamed former Clinton-Gore insider who said: "I do know that he's thinking about (a presidential run.) "I know for a fact. He's talked to people about the pros and cons."
