Reply #21: It doesn't happen often, but I agree with you.

This, very sadly, does not sound like a man who plans to run for POTUS any time soon, and it's from the Sept./Oct. 02138 Magazine:




Q: You were often referred to as The Most Powerful Vice President.

A: That was before Dick Cheney.


Q: Will you endorse a candidate in the primaries?

A: Odds are I will.


Q: Who?

A: I haven't made that decision yet.


Q: Do you feel some obligation to endorse the wife of your former boss?

A: Uh.... no. I have friendships with her an with the other candidates, and
they're all on equal footing at this point as far as I'm concerned.


Q: Are you advising any candidates?

A: No.


Q: Talking to any?

A: A few have called from time to time.


Q: Which ones?

A: I'm not going to violate the privacy of those conversations, but several of them
have called regularly. Some have made private trips to Nashville, and I appreciate
that.

Q: Before we finish, Vice President Gore, I have to ask
you one more time: You're completely ruling out a run for
President?

A: I have not ruled out the possibility of re-entering
politics as a candidate at some point in the future. I
doubt that will ever happen. But, just because it doesn't
feel right to be a candidate ar this point, it doesn't feel
right to make a so-called Sherman statement.
