With his trans-Atlantic interests Mr Smith read the news that former American Vice President Al Gore is being called upon to throw his name into the hat as a Democratic candidate in the 2008 US Presidential Elections.
“A GROUP of self-styled "grass-roots Democrats" sent a full-page open letter to Al Gore in the New York Times, begging the former vice president to enter the US presidential race. Draftgore's advert, which says 136,000 people have signed an online petition, was published yesterday, two days before this year's Nobel Peace Prize is expected to be announced. Gore has been nominated for the prize because of his campaign highlighting global warming.”
Mr Smith suspects that Al probably has better things to be doing with his time. Anyone for a Nobel Prize?
