Al Gore Says He Might Run in 2008


Al Gore Admits to Liberal Group that He Might Run in 2008!


When asked (begged) to run for president in 2008, Al Gore replied:

"I’m a recovering politician. But you always have to worry about a relapse."

Al Gore's 'relapse' could be the best thing that ever happened to this country.

Atlanta Progressive News:

(APN) ATLANTA – Al Gore may be a “recovering politician,” but “You always have to worry about a relapse,” Gore told Atlanta Progressive News.

The in-person exchange with the former Vice President took place following a special screening of “An Inconvenient Truth,” here at Atlantic Station in Midtown Atlanta.

Following the screening of the absolutely breathtaking and monumental film about the grave and present threat of global warming to this planet, Atlanta Progressive News’s Editor asked the former Vice President, “Will you please, please run for President?”

We thought it might help if we asked politely.

After the crowd cheered Gore in encouragement, he told the audience, “I’m a recovering politician, on Step Nine. Thank you for your sentiment.” Things seemed a bit gloomy for a while.

But then later, after the larger crowd left the theater, APN Staff Writer Susan Keith brought the issue up again in a more private, yet informal gathering in the theater after the show. “It’s not a sentiment!” she said, while others in attendance offered their campaign support and said, stop listening to those consultants.

Then, Gore said: “Like I said, I’m a recovering politician. But you always have to worry about a relapse.”
