"John will be a great president for all Americans, and I want to do everything I can to help him fight against the outrageous and misleading campaign being waged by the Bush-Cheney campaign," Gore said.

He shocked the political community late last year by endorsing then front-runner Dean, whose campaign collapsed several weeks later in Iowa, leaving the former vice president and other Dean supporters without a candidate in the Democratic presidential race.

DNC is just doing a little shuffling -- that's all.

Was there ever any explanation as to why Gore didn't run again for president, considering he won the popular vote?

Yup - his faithful followers, who fought tooth and nail to try and get him elected in 2000, shuddered at the very thought of him in 2004. Serious - you oughta hear how they talk about him over at the DU.

Mr Gore said in the CBS interview that he still wants to "contribute to ending the current administration". He added: "I think the current policies have to be changed. I think that my best way of contributing to that result may not be as a candidate this time round."

I feel sorry for him if he thinks that way.

Funny, I thought it was because Gore had gotten so ugly.

I agree with that... I couldn't stand the beard either - otherwise, he's not bad looking.
