(Jimmy) Carter would back Gore bid

The national Draft Gore effort isn't the only one hoping to persuade Al Gore to run for president. Former President Jimmy Carter said he supports Gore as well.

"I wish he would (run). If he ran, I would publicly endorse him," Carter said in a telephone interview Thursday afternoon. "And he knows it. I've already told him that personally, and I've announced it several times."

...

He said Thursday that when he last asked Gore about a bid during a call in late spring, Gore told him: "Jimmy, I asked you not to talk about that."

"We have a lot of mutual friends who have talked to him since then, encouraging him to run," Carter said. "But he's not given them any encouragement."
