Gore coy on domestic plans

>>>>>>>>SNIP<<<<<<<<


But Mr Gore himself is still somewhat coy on the issue. After winning the Peace Prize last month, Mr Gore appeared to rule himself out of the next presidential race. But when asked by the Financial Times last week, he warned: "I have not made a Sherman statement."

General William Tecumseh Sherman, a civil war general, in 1884 declined the opportunity to run for president by saying: "If drafted, I will not run. If nominated, I will not accept. If elected, I will not serve."

Mr Gore said: "There is no need for me to make that statement." Nor would he divulge whether he intended to endorse another candidate.

He told the FT: "I have not decided whether I will endorse any candidate or not, much less who I would endorse."

But Mr Gore is clearly involving himself in the electioneering. He said: "I have talked to all the major candidates in my party, and a couple in the other party, about the climate crisis. I have given advice and answered their questions and will continue to do so."

Mr Gore himself has some radical political solutions in mind for how he thinks global warming should be approached in the US.

"None of the have proposed what I think we should propose."

1. le~sigh

me too

:banghead:

yes, I am an idiot...have at me DU

on edit: I find it odd that neither Carter or Gore has endorsed anyone at this Late(?) juncture. I still think it is early. We are still almost a year away of the general election. A lot can happen over 300 days.

2. Interesting

I'm tempted to think that Gore's window of opportunity has closed, but let's see where this goes.

3. I like that he's keeping things off balance.

Mi dos centavos. :-)) MKJ

4. He should say "I have not made a Sherman statement because I am not Sherman." n/t

5. "None of the [candidates] have proposed what I think we should propose."

Didn't Gore say he would run if none of the candidates were strong enough on the Climate Crisis?

6. Where did he say he would run

under those circumstances.

Please... I need more fuel for this dream so I can keep from going insane.

The other choices are so lame in comparison.

7. Im not sure - but I remember hearing that

hence the question mark in my post.
