Hey I noticed that Gore seems to be doing a lot of appearances with moveon.org. What is his relationship with this group? Is he a ranking leader of the group or do they just pay him to do speeches?

Here's how I understand it: MoveOn's PAC is forbidden from endorsing or giving publicity to any declared candidate. They have often turned to Al Gore, since he's not running, as someone who can further their agenda (and he does it so brilliantly). If Gore were a candidate--and I still haven't made my peace with the fact that he's not --he wouldn't be able to speak through MoveOn.
