It was bound to happen eventually – that is former vice president and global warming alarmist Al Gore kicking the door open for another possible run for presidency.
Gore appeared on CNN International before a live audience and was asked if he would serve in the next administration if he was offered a position. He ruled that out, but announced he hadn’t completely shut the door on his political ambitions, more importantly, he hadn’t ruled out running for president of the United States.
“You know, I haven't ruled out the idea of getting back into the political process at some point in the future,” Gore said. “Don't expect to, but if I did get back, it would be as a candidate for president, not in any other position.”
Gore’s statement was followed by applause from the crowd.
