Al Gore was in New York to kick off the Tribeca Film Festival.  Along the way, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg  was asked about Gore and he said this:

“People talk about Al Gore being a presidential candidate a lot more serious than they joke about me. This guy could be a presidential candidate. He certainly has experience. I’ve always been in favor of the public having more choice. I hope Al Gore enters the
race; I think it would be good for the country.”
