WASHINGTON - Former Vice President and 2000 Presidential candidate Al Gore has called for a recount of the vote by the International Astronomical Union, the official arbiter of heavenly objects, to declassify Pluto as a planet. Gore claims that the Union unfairly discounted ballots with so-called hanging chads as part of an unspecified "political agenda."Gore is spearheading an effort to promote global warming on Pluto. The effort, which even he concedes is "wacky," has garnered little support, even in the liberal community.
