Al Gore is a good man. He is a decent, caring man. He listens to his heart and his head. He loves his family.

I've always had good energy; I've always had good health.

I grew up in the '50s and '60s when Jack Kennedy was president. We would watch him on television. And our teachers always talked about the good things public servants could do. I thought maybe that's something I should do. So when I got out of law school, my wife, Jane, and I became precinct captains.

I hope we can get back to what I call the kitchen table. Everyday issues that people are really worried about and focused on.

The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students.

We are all so privileged to be citizens of America, and we all need to be engaged.

In every issue there are winners are losers, and the losers are plenty.
