Gore ran for president in the 1988 DNC primary, and declined to run in the 1992 primary. He didn't run again until 2000.
He did accept Bill Clinton's offer to run for VP in 1992.

Yes, you are right, it was probably not a Gore campaign event, but just something having to do with him being VP at the time I saw him. I remember saying to the boy as I introduced him, “This man (Gore) could be our future president.” I don’t remember when the staged Tipper kiss occured, but I do remember that it was after the “unringed” evening.
Such a long time ago. My little mentee would have been in his early 40s had he not died in a Philadelphia shoot out a couple of years ago. A good-looking and intellegent child who asked me to take him to museums and churches, and to buy school supplies for him. So much potential, wasted. Just another father-free black child with no one to guide him into a stable adulthood. We had moved away when he was around 13. I’m heartbroken over him.
