Gore is not running

To those who have held out hope, it just ain't gonna happen.

Former Vice President Al Gore said Wednesday he had no intention of ever running for president again, but he said the United States would be "a different country" if he had won the 2000 election, launching into a scathing attack of the Bush administration.

"I have absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again," Gore told reporters after giving a speech at an economic forum in Sweden.

Would Gore be a great addition to the race? Undoubtedly. I might even get excited about 2008 as a result. Will it happen? Nope.
