Gore says no

By GottaLaff

In a word, "no":

The former vice president, who issued a challenge to the next President of the United States on Thursday to make the country's electricity output carbon-free in 10 years, said later that he will not under any circumstances serve as Barack Obama's running mate.

No surprise there. Al Gore has a mission about which he is passionate. We need him to keep doing what he's doing.

“I have a personal term limit,” he told CBS News Thursday. “Only two terms as VP.”

Asked by interviewer Katie Couric whether he might reconsider if the Democratic presidential candidate "begged," Gore said his answer would remain no.

I fervently hope that Obama says "no" next, to Bayh and Nunn. No. No. No.
