Gore hits Chicago to chants of 'Run, Al, Run'

[RamboLiberal]

In an event that felt more like a campaign appearance than a book signing, Al Gore's visit to Chicago this afternoon brought the usual speculation about another presidential bid.

"Run, Al, run," some chanted on the third floor of the Borders on State Street, where some of his biggest fans started arriving before sunrise for an event that started shortly before 1 p.m.

The former vice president, of course, is asked the same question almost everywhere he goes: are you running?

"I'm not planning to be a candidate again," Gore said, after a six-minute campaign-style speech that touched on everything from his trademark issue of global warming to the Iraq war.

I'm one of those who wishes he would, but then I've been a Gore fan since Clinton picked him as his running mate. I actually liked Gore more than Clinton, even before Monica. I always thought Al was one very smart man.
