6. Gore makes a lot of people uncomfortable

even readers of this thread. One reason, I think, is that he has seriously reinvented himself several times, most notably after his "defeat" in the 2000 election.

Another is that his positions have always required a little more effort to understand than the ordinary soundbite, even in his earlier career that I never particularly cared for, when he stood at the right wing of the party.

As far as him being rich, so what? All these guys are millionaires. At least he has some ideas and a modicum of spine. Another thing that probably makes people uncomfortable is that at bottom he is a pretty conservative guy and the fact that he now stands on the left of the party says more about the party than most of us care to admit.
