Pressure on Gore "Former Vice President Al Gore is coming under pressure from political supporters and friends to jump into the 2004 presidential campaign even though he ruled himself out in December," the Hill newspaper reports. "Gore's spokesperson denied that there was any change of plans, but a former Democratic National Committee official close to Mr. Gore told the Hill he believes the former vice president may enter the Democratic primary this fall," reporter Alexander Bolton writes. "A second Gore confidant, Steve Armistead, a local Tennessee government official, said: 'I think he'd like to grit his teeth and jump back in, but I can't speak for him. I don't think he liked the medicine he got from the Supreme Court.' The former DNC official told the Hill that "his prediction of another Gore campaign is based on more than a hunch ... He believes, as other Gore confidants do, that the political climate has changed significantly since December, making Bush more vulnerable to defeat in his bid for a second term." However, Gore spokesman Kiki McLean said her boss "is not a candidate for president, he's made his position known and he has no intention of changing his mind." washtimes.com
