Obama: Gore Would Make 'Formidable' Foe
Also Vows To Avoid More Wars Of Words With Clinton
(CBS) Barack Obama concedes that Al Gore entering the presidential race would seriously alter the political landscape.
The Illinois senator told The Early Show national correspondent Tracy Smith that the former vice president would be an "extraordinarily formidable" candidate if he were to join the Democratic fray, adding, "He would have as good a resume as anyone in the field, better — uh — than anybody in the field."
Even so, "I would welcome him to go anywhere he wants to go," Obama remarked.
Speculation about a possible Gore candidacy has been increasing since his appearance on the Oscars. Gore's global warming documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," earned two statuettes.
