NEW YORK (CNN) -- Former Vice President Al Gore said he has "fallen out of love with politics" and has no intentions of running for office again.
When asked why he wouldn't run for president again -- when presumably a president could shape an agenda to fight global warming -- Gore said those in power must have the support of the people to make it work.
"The key players are the American people," he said. "When the American people have the awareness of what this means for their children, and for their grandchildren, that all of civilization is at risk here, then they will demand that whoever is running for office, whoever is elected to serve, will have to respond to this."
Despite Gore's stance, many grassroots movements, with Web sites such as AlGore.org and draftgore2008.org, are trying persuade him to run.
"Americans from every corner of our nation are calling on you," reads a petition on Draftgore.com. "Please listen to our plea and run for the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States in 2008." The petition has has nearly 100,000 signatures.

AAwwww...
He’s found out that selling B.S. to liberals is much more profitable $$$$$.
He’s been up
He’s been down
Trying to get that feeling again
All around
Trying to get that feeling again...
Well, we shall see. I believe he needs 100 handlers to convince him to do anything. I think his kid has more direction. Al III at least knows what he wants. If, as I suspect, he positions himself to get “drafted”...holy hell needs to be rained down on him quick and hard.
"But, I'm in love with deep fried food!"
I just hope he means it. I don’t believe that Hillary or Obama could win next year, but Gore could.
He looks like a dead mako shark that’s been rotting for a few days on the beach...
That freaking collar looks like a tourniquet on him...
Not too sure about that. I think W has screwed the pooch so badly on immigration, democrats may win ‘cuz the base will sit out...again, and give us a dem president along with a dem congress.
He looks like a friggin’ orca!!
This is what its like falling out of love
This is the way you lose your very best friend
This is how it feels when its all over
This is just the way true love ends
First of all theres no one to talk to
When there is they just dont seem to hear
Words dont seem to matter much anyway
They cant describe the pain
They cant explain the fear
Then the nights grow cold and hard to live through
Still you hate to see the morning come
Somehow tomorrow doesnt matter much anymore
The future holds no promise
Your lifes already done
Whats the sense of failure
Its such an incredible loss
Its all the things youll never do
And all the dreams that will never come true
Please run Al, on the Green Party ticket!
Global Warming Prophet Gore prefers zealous followers to fickle voters.
What if global warming’s for real? There’s lot’s of data out there.
algore....ick.. what a mug....
If we could just convince him that he would win if he were to run on the Independent ticket....... ;-)
