Al Gores self-imposed exile from politics will extend to this weeks Democratic National Convention.
Citing obligations in Tennessee, the former vice presidents spokeswoman told POLITICO that Gore plans to skip the festivities in Philadelphia where his former bosss wife will accept the Democratic presidential nomination. The Tennessean first reported Gore's decision earlier Sunday.
Gore remains one of the last Democratic Party luminaries not to make a formal endorsement of Hillary Clinton. Betsy McManus, Gores communications director, told POLITICO last fall that hed wait until a nominee had been formally selected to weigh in. But its been more than a month since Clinton sewed up the necessary delegates, and Gore has maintained his silence on the 2016 presidential race.
Gores close friends and allies have in the past said he was staying quiet in order to make climate change a more potent issue with the presidential candidates and also because of his complicated relationship with the former first lady that dates back more than 20 years.

Al Gore is on a crash diet and working out like Rocky so when Hillary flames out he will be tanned , rested and ready.
He is all the Democrats have.
He fooled around on Tipper. THAT is part of the reason he is in exile, IMO.
Today his wealth has grown to more than $200 million.
Why should he go to Philadelphia? He doesn't need Hillary for a thing.
By the same token, the DNC certainly doesn't want this con-artist fraud$ter as a speaker at its convention for a multitude of reasons.

Yup, Paul Shanklin is a genius!
listen... warming, cooling, it was 50/50. so i took a shot!!!
I’ll never forget algore bending that poor woman over, osculating her and using his prehensile tongue to play hockey with Tipper’s tonsils.
It’s seared into my memory. In an Outer Limits, bad way.
I could never forgive him, if he had not invented this wonderful interweb.
“..hed wait until a nominee had been formally selected to weigh in.”
Huh?
I thought he was to do the Global Warming speech outside beside the 4 mile wall in 100 degree heat.
And no one anywhere cares.
Dwindle-Norwood! Dingle-Norwood!
Thank God he will not be unplugging our air conditions.
I can’t take it anymore! Stop pointing at me!!!
Naaaah. John Iwasinvietnam Kerry has that assignment
That second or third chakra acting up again ... I have heard it is a painful condition
Betsy McManus, Gores communication director.
Question??
Who’s paying her 15 years after he left political office?
They didn’t want him near the stage and he didn’t want to go to Philly to be a total nonentity.
ofc, nowadays he is a total nonentity.
If Fat Albert Gore is working day and night to save the earth from global warming, he’s been working at a glacial pace.
Well, he could always sail his 100 ft. houseboat up the Delaware, and arrive in style.
