Here's a few more photos from Friday, October 12 in Palo Alto, California. People love AL GORE, he must know how much he's needed. Even the little children seem to love him. He just has to run, for all of us.

I don't want to read too much into things, but do you notice that suddenly he's back to wearing a suit and tie instead of being the man in black? :good:

Also, do we have any idea what happened at that press conference? Presumably he took questions. How did he respond to "the question"?

This looks like "campaign trail" Al.

Don't think he took questions. See this first person account blog:

Can't help but notice that he is looking more fit than I've seen him in a long while. Looks to be at a "fighting weight". California living is obviously agreeing with him. :good:

This YouTube is good too:

He is even dressing like a candidate - solid red tie, blue shirt, solid dark jacket. Isn't that the standard-issue suit for people running for office? ;)
