| Description | WASHINGTON (AFP) — Former US vice president Al Gore said Wednesday that his Nobel Peace Prize triumph had not altered his intention to stay out of the 2008 presidential race.
But Gore could still shake up the Democratic Party nomination by endorsing a candidate other than front-runner Hillary Clinton.
Speculation following the peace prize announcement last week that Gore would run was quashed he told Norwegian broadcaster NRK: "I don't have plans to be a candidate again, so I don't really see it in that context at all."
He added: "I'm involved in another kind of campaign. It's a global campaign to change the way people think about the climate crisis."
Last month, Gore, 59, said he would likely endorse a Democrat for president before the primary season was over, the Washington Post reported. |
