No

Gore keeps his options open:

Al Gore faced an unwelcome choice when a fan pushed a copy of his new book at him for his autograph.

Inside the cover she wrote, "Plan to run for president in 2008?" with boxes marked "yes" or "no." Gore paused, then scribbled one word - "plans"- next to the "no" box and checked it. No plans, but not a firm no.

Heh. And here’s an interesting thought:

[A possible motive for remaining flexible] is that his non-campaign campaign is putting him in a better position to run later and delay having to make all the grueling fundraising calls and chicken-dinner speeches that other candidates will have to start soon. This strategy would allow Gore to enter the race late, declaring that he hears the demand for a draft. But it also would leave him the option of declining to run, if by, say, late 2007, he doubted that he could win his party's nomination.

I don’t think there’s any doubt that Gore would prefer to avoid as much of the campaign as possible—but something worth considering is that it would probably also help the Dems if their eventual nominee stayed away from the smear machine as long as possible, no matter who that eventual nominee is, though the reality is that Gore’s really the only one with the ability to do so.
