Al Gore announced his endorsement of Barack
Obama Monday and promised to help the Democrat achieve what eluded
him - the presidency. In a letter to be e-mailed to Obama
supporters, the former vice president and Nobel Prize winner wrote,
"From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to
make sure he is elected president of the United States."
In 2000, Gore won the popular vote but lost the disputed 2000
election to George W. Bush, who captured Florida and its electoral
votes after a divided Supreme Court ended the recount. Since then,
Gore has made combatting global warming his signature issue, and
has been recognized worldwide for his effort - from an Academy
Award for a documentary for his effort to the Nobel prize.
