For his part, Mr. Bloomberg called Mr. Gore someone with “rock star” popularity. “His recent success has even prompted some talk that he might again try for the White House. Al, don’t you just hate those rumors about running for president?”

Speaking with reporters afterward, Mr. Bloomberg spoke warmly about the former Vice President in a tone that seemed close to an endorsement.

“Al Gore has gone on to devoting his life to public service,” the mayor said. “He could be a model for all of us.”

Mr. Bloomberg continued: “People talk about Al Gore being a presidential candidate a lot more serious than they joke about me. This guy could be a presidential candidate. He certainly has experience. I’ve always been in favor of the public having more choice. I hope Al Gore enters the
race; I think it would be good for the country.
