I have no idea where I found this interview of Gore by a Norwegian reporter but you can find it here:
http://www1.nrk.no/... .
You will note there are nuts on the table and the interviewer has a glass of water and Gore does not. If he planned to have some nuts, he'd have water in front of him too. Therefore, I conclude that he is dieting for the election. Ok, maybe that is a stretch.
However, one problem I've always seen in Gore was when he goes within himself to think during an interview. I don't think people like that. Better they should make monkey faces as Bush did during his first debate against Gore. I have no problem with it but I think it makes people uncomfortable and I think Gore knows it.
Notice there are two videos of the interview, 2 in one. At about about 45 second mark where he says, "For me personally" the camera switches to his hands. Now take a look at the raw footage at the 3:18 mark and notice the way he closes his eyes, drops his jaw and goes into himself, just for a second be that is something that would be better if replaced with a smile, looking right at the interviewer.
There are more instances that are good and some that are that same nuance. On the left wil be the bad moments and on the right he does much better. Check it out and let me know what you think.

So, can we help him? Kerry never listened, maybe Al Gore will.
