CARTER BACKS AL GORE FOR '08

Former President Jimmy Carter says he'd like to see Al Gore run for president again in 2008 and said he would support a Gore candidacy.

On NBC's Hardball last night, Carter said he is certain that Gore won the 2000 election and that he pressured Gore so strongly to run in 2004 that Gore, in a polite way, told Carter to get off his case about it.
