Al Gore did not make this statement.  I think you are referring to Dan
Quayle's quote :

If we do not succeed, then we run the risk of failure.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle, to the Phoenix Republican Forum, 3/23/90
(reported in Esquire, 8/92) Also reported by Reuters, 5/2/90

Lets not make fun of our future President!

As long as we're getting on the "lighter" side...

Can the answer to the "Sun or Moon" question be attributed to Al Gore?

After all he once said, "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."
