Albert Arnold Gore Jr. (born March 31, 1948) is an American politician
and environmentalist who served as the 45th vice president of the
United States from 1993 to 2001. Gore was Bill Clinton's running mate
in their successful campaign in 1992, and the pair was re-elected in
1996. Near the end of Clinton's second term, Gore was selected as the
Democratic nominee for the 2000 presidential election but lost the
election in a very close race after a Florida recount. After his term
as vice-president ended in 2001, Gore remained prominent as an author
and environmental activist, whose work in climate change activism
earned him (jointly with the IPCC) the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.Gore
was an elected official for 24 years. He was a representative from
Tennessee (1977â€"1985) and from 1985 to 1993 served as a senator from
that state. He served as vice president during the Clinton
administration from 1993 to 2001. The 2000 presidential election was
one of the closest presidential races in history. Gore won the popular
vote, but after a controversial election dispute over a Florida
recount (settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled 5â€"4 in favor
of Bush), he lost the election to Republican opponent George W. Bush
in the Electoral College. Al Gore Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
