Al Gore speaking in Singapore today:
"I may re-enter politics at some point in the future because I'm only 59 years old," Gore told reporters on the sidelines of a forum in Singapore.
Gore said he has "no plan" to run in the 2008 presidential election but aims to make the environment a focus of public discussion during the campaign.
"There is no single candidate that is putting forward a comprehensive argument about the environment or making climate change a priority,"

Of course, Gore issued the standard denial about having "no plan" to run this year, but his statement that he may re-enter politics combined with his critique of the other candidates for not focussing enough on what he considers THE ISSUE not just for America but for the entire world, suggests his thinking on the race is evolving.
Strategically, it would probably be a mistake for Gore to announce any earlier than September/October. Those who believe he needs to enter should do what they can to show Al he can count on our support. For information on Gore efforts in your area, I recommend the Gore Hub site.
Also today, I came across perhaps the best, most succinct Draft Gore site yet: http://www.rundammit.com
Finally, please consider signing our petition to get DFA to include Gore the next time they run a Presidential pulse poll (at least on a second round if/when the first round among declared candidates proves inconclusive like the last one -- in which "other" came in 3rd):
