Nobel Spurs Gore
October 12th, 2007
Former Vice President Al Gore’s new status as a Nobel Peace Prize winner is encouraging some of his political supporters in the United States to urge him to run for president next year. But as VOA National correspondent Jim Malone reports from Washington, most political experts doubt Gore will make a run for the White House in 2008.
Gore told a California news conference he is honored to share the Nobel award with the United Nations panel on climate change.
“I will accept this award on behalf of all of those who have been working so long and so hard to try to get the message out about this planetary emergency,” he said.
