Huge Kudos to a slimmer and trimmer Al Gore. He looks like his former handsome self.

Anyone involved in struggles with weight gain can appreciate what he has accomplished by peeling the pounds back off.

Just because he looks like he used to, as he is hitting the talk shows promoting his new book, I only caught on about the serious weight loss the second time I saw him.

Congratulations Mister Vice President, another big feather in your cap.

1. I had to look twice....he looks much younger, too.

2. But he looks more and more like his lovely mother every day....

He did well despite having such big shoes to fill. His father was a giant among men, a real American hero.

7. I'd love him to run a different kind of primary campaign.

I don't want Obama to be anointed. Corzine shows us that you incumbents shouldn't get a free pass.

8. I'm missing something....I"m not that bright sometimes n/t

[PHIMG]

11. Id like Gore to challenge Obama for the nomination in 2012.

Far fetched but a boy can dream.

[Mira]

12. Oh, I see. We can share that dream. Gore-Kucinich would heal the planet and the country.

9. Anyone got an updated pic?

Thanks!

13. Book tours and public appearance tours ruin a weight-loss attempt

Maybe he's back at home, living a normal lifestyle again:)
