Gore campaign team assembles in secret

Is former Vice President Gore assembling a campaign staff? According to this article it would appear he is:

Friends of Al Gore have secretly started assembling a campaign team in preparation for the former American vice-president to make a fresh bid for the White House.

But, aware that he may step into the wide open race for the White House, former strategists are sounding out a shadow team that could run his campaign at short notice. In approaching former campaign staff, including political strategists and communications officials, they are making clear they are not acting on formal instructions from Mr Gore, 59, but have not been asked to stop.

I would welcome his entry into the race. I believe he would be nearly unbeatable.
