His mentor for the 2000 election. Probably exlplains his "statuesque" personna.

I can just see Algore standing next to the bust of Lincoln on his mantle, algore having grown a beard and comparing himself to it.

Tipper: "Al, please, for the 100th time, yes, there is a similarity."
Algore: "You really think so Tip? I mean, you are not just saying a similarity in purpose and greatness but a physical resemblence too?"
Tipper: "Al, it's time to return Lincoln to the White House."
Algore: "I know your right Tipper. Fire up the campaign."
