Al Gore: Rock Star - Complete details of the Beverly Hills book launch event held 5/22
Kicking back in his black Tony Lamas, the former Vice President and some believe, President, was ostensibly on hand to launch the initial release and sign copies of his new book, "The Assault on Reason." But there was more to it than that. This was a chance for a packed house of his core supporters to see and hear him up close and personal. The event had the chaotic air of a campaign stop with media, family, Gore '08 posters, t- shirts and chants of "Run Al, Run," scattered throughout the venue.

After hearing Al Gore: How does he run for President?
How does he conduct a candidacy? What's the model for not getting manipulated into the forms of mass media, which are essentially hostile to reasoned discourse ?
