NEW YORK Former Vice President Al Gore and Mayor Michael Bloomberg kiddingly nudged each other toward the 2008 presidential race during a joint Manhattan appearance today.They were together to help open the Tribeca Film Festival, which has several environmentally themed films. Global warming is Gore's pet cause _ resulting in an Oscar win for his documentary on the subject _ and is becoming a Bloomberg priority.
The mayor noted that Gore's recent success has even prompted some talk that he might again try for the White House and asked Gore "don't you just hate those rumors about running for president?"
Neither one has entered next year's crowded contest for the White House, but speculation persists for both.
Moments later, Gore was asked whether he believes the presidential candidates are doing enough to discuss global warming on the campaign trail. Gore deadpanned "Well, I think Mike is." The mayor turned red and laughed.
