While Barack Obama is off making the rounds in Iowa, the Washington Post's John Harris and Shailagh Murray think they've spotted a tea leaf worth reading about Al Gore. The former vice president has signed a deal with Penguin Press to write a book on how "the public arena has grown more hostile to reason." The book is due out in May -- just in time, Harris and Murray say, to "produce new momentum for Gore to make another bid for the White House."
The ever-so-slightly-more-encouraging latest word from Gore himself: "I haven't completely ruled out running for president again in the future, but I don't expect to."
