Even if you don't run, we can still draft you. Please don't take offense.

Thank you.

Al Gore in GQ :

So if you decide to run, do you think we would see the Al Gore from the movie? Or the Al Gore from 2000?
Well, I don’t plan to run. I don’t plan to run. And I don’t expect to run.

How many times a day does somebody ask you this?
Well, I’m doing a lot of interviews and it’s on the list of questions. For every one of them. And I appreciate that. I appreciate that people think enough of me still in that world to ask that question. It’s true that I haven’t, uh, gotten to the point where I am willing to completely rule it out for all time. But, that is really more a matter of the internal shifting of gears. I’m not making plans to run again.

But you’re not ruling it out?
Uh… no. [smiles]

To help draft Mr. Gore, you can donate to his campaign (whether he wants one or not) at his Act Blue Presidential Draft page. Your donations will go to the DNC if Mr. Gore doesn't enter the race by the national convention.
