Run Al, Run

Just as many have been trying to "draft" Republican Fred Thompson to run for president in 2008, now grassroots supporters are ramping up their efforts to encourage Democrat Al Gore to run for president as well.

The Draft Gore Committee launched its first radio ad today in Iowa. The 30-second ad, dubbed "You Who," will go national in July. It features a chorus of voices seeking Gore's attention and urging him to seek the Democratic presidential nomination.

The political action committee claims to have gathered 94,000 signatures on an online petition. It's not officially affiliated with the former vice president.

Gore, of Nashville, has repeatedly said he has no plans seek the nomination, though he hasn't ruled out a bid.
