(2002-09-24) — Al Gore announced today that he is “assembling a posse” to challenge George Bush for the presidency in 2004. Gore has called Joe Lieberman, Diane Feinstein, Dick Gephardt and others asking them to all run for president with him.
“I don’t want to unilaterally go after Bush without knowing that all the leaders in the party are united,” said Gore. “A primary race can be so divisive, so I’m waiting to declare my candidacy until all Democrats in Congress, all Democrat Governors, and former President Clinton confirm their intention to fight on my behalf.”
The former vice president also said he will not run unless he gets international support for his bid for the White House.
“We learned in ‘92 how important it is to get members of the U.N. Security Council — like the Chinese — on your side,” Gore said.
