No major scandals. I guess if he runs for prez in 2008 something will probably be stirred up.

You bet they will come out, and in my opinion they arent all that scandalous.
the whole tobacco thing will certainly be mentioned, and in this day and age may grow some legs....more as a character issue though.
My point about bringing these things up is quite simple though....he is not to be taken as the gospel in THIS movie which some claim means I am anti-enviroment and unable to grasp the concept. Its quite the opposite actually, I want information from real scientists and not some politician that is grandstanding in a movie to garner attention for a Democratic issue, which is all the Gore is doing here IMO.
Scientists from both sides hat are highly acclaimed and well published in their fields are making almost polar opposite claims....i would like to see why that is happening and would venture a guess that the truth is somewhere in the middle.
