Gore Waiting Until September?

Many people have speculated that Gore might be waiting until summer to make a decision on whether or not to run for president. According to the New York Oberver, this specualtion might be accurate:

It's too much to say that Al Gore has decided to run for President in 2008.

But it does seem that he wants to preserve the option.

Certainly, the recent buzz about a possible Gore campaign in 2008 doesn't seem to be spontaneously generated. According to one influential Democratic insider, close associates of the former Vice President have communicated to him and other prominent fund-raisers who are uncommitted to the other '08 candidates that Mr. Gore will consider entering the race--if an opening presents itself--in September.
