I am a good fan of Al Gore, but I am also equally supportive of other candidates out there,
There's a front runner in terms of name recognition. There's no front runner in terms of the passion we know we need, the leadership and the vision. Al Gore, if he decides to run, has to come out with a platform and a vision and stick to it regardless of what anybody says.
And I do encourage everybody who wishes to run, to run, and of course in the end if Al Gore chooses to run, he will have a tremendous opportunity to build a coalition and win in 2004.
