(2002-09-16) — Two members of the Congressional Black Caucus who shouted “Amen” during Al Gore’s speech before the group Saturday night, have bolstered the former presidential candidate’s hopes for another run at the White House.
“I’m not sure whether they were ‘amen-ing’ my economic ideas, or my self-deprecating humor,” said Gore, “but there were clearly some ‘amens’ out there.”
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus interviewed later confirmed that at least two strong ‘amens’ were heard.
“Of course, I haven’t decided about running in 2004,” said Gore, “but if this groundswell of support continues to build, I may not be able to resist the will of the people.”
