MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2002 Former vice president Al Gore announced on Sunday that he will not seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004. In an interview on the CBS program "60 Minutes," Gore said he doesn't think running is "the right thing for me." He believe he can best serve his party by helping someone else unseat President Bush. Gore won the popular vote in 2000 but lost the electoral college after the Supreme Court halted a recount in Florida. He served under President Bill Clinton for eight years. Democrats stepping up include Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), who was Gore's running mate in the 2000 election, Sen. John Kerrey (D-Mass.), Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.), Rep. Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.) and Vermont Gov. Howard Dean. Get the Story:
