Every reference I have seen has no middle name. Father was Albert Gore (no middle name), Algore is A.G. jr and his son is III. Not much originality.

You have to be there when it's all over. Otherwise you can't say "I told you so."
Better days to be,

He is certainly a "little girly maaaaan!"
The "real" Ahhhhnold should crumple him up like a paper doll.
"Ja, and you are not a man of enormous pumpitude like us. You are not fit to be a pimple on our sculpted buttocks. Hear us now and believe us later...."

Al (Albert) Gore Jr.
1948 --
U.S. Vice President. Born Albert Arnold Gore Jr., on March 31, 1948, in Washington, D.C. His
father, Albert Gore Sr., a congressman from Tennessee, served in the House of Representatives.
His mother, Pauline (La Fon) Gore, was one of the first women to graduate from Vanderbilt Law
School.
At once a Washington thoroughbred and a hometown Tennessean, Gore grew up accustomed to
both environments. In the nation’s capital, Gore attended the exclusive St. Alban’s Episcopal
School for Boys. In Tennessee, he worked on his family’s farm. Gore then attended Harvard,
where he roomed with future actor Tommy Lee Jones. He earned a degree with high honors in
government in 1969 after writing a senior thesis titled "The Impact of Television on the Conduct of
the Presidency, 1947-1969."
After struggling with his conscience about his opposition to the Vietnam War, Gore, who was
drafted for service that year, decided to enter the military. Though his father lost his next bid for
the Senate, Al Gore Jr.’s decision to join the military helped allay the concerns of his father’s
constituency about Al Gore Sr.’s opposition to the war. Gore served his time in Vietnam as an
army reporter. When he returned to the States in 1971, he worked as a reporter at the
Tennessean. When he was later moved to the city politics beat, Gore uncovered political and
bribery cases that led to convictions.
While at the Tennessean, Gore, a Baptist, also studied philosophy and phenomenology at
Vanderbilt University. In 1974, he enrolled in Vanderbilt’s law school. Just two years later, he
began to campaign for the Democratic nomination for Tennessee’s Fourth District congressional
seat. When he won the nomination over Stanley Rogers, it was a big enough success to predict his
win in the 1976 general election. After serving four terms, Gore jumped at the chance to fill the
open Tennessee senatorial seat. He won the election in 1984. Among other things, Gore was
particularly active in environmental issues. He played an integral role in the creation and passage of
the 1980 Superfund bill to clean up chemical spills and dangerous land dumps. He has also
worked for nuclear disarmament.
In 1988, Gore made a bid for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. He won five
southern states on Super Tuesday, but eventually lost to Michael Dukakis. Gore remained in the
Senate until presidential candidate Bill Clinton chose him as his running mate in 1992. They were
elected into office that year and re-elected in 1996. While in office, Gore continued to display
concern for the environment. In 1992, he wrote Earth in the Balance: Healing the Global
Environment (1992). He also worked to cut back on government bureaucracy.
Though it was Clinton who came under fire so often during their terms, Gore’s political image
suffered when he was investigated by the Justice Department in 1997 and 1998 for his
fund-raising activities during the 1996 re-election campaign. Gore came under fire for, among
other things, making a number of fund-raising telephone calls from his office in the White
House—a possible violation of a civil service law that bars elected officials from using federal
property to solicit campaign contributions. In both 1997 and 1998, Attorney General Janet Reno
refused to assign an independent counsel to investigate Gore’s truthfulness when questioned under
oath about his fund-raising practices. A renewed inquiry into Gore’s fund-raising activities began in
the spring and summer of 2000, and the head of the Justice Department’s campaign finance unit
again recommended that Reno appoint an special prosecutor. In August, after publicly defending
her previous decisions in a June Senate hearing, Reno rejected his recommendation.
In his 2000 presidential campaign, Gore faced down an early challenge from former Senator Bill
Bradley, emerging victorious in every primary election. Bradley withdrew from the race in early
March 2000, stating that he supports Gore and calling for unity within the Democratic Party. Gore
emerged from the primaries unscathed, but is facing a tough race with the Republican presidential
nominee, George W. Bush, and his running mate, former Secretary of Defense Richard B.
Cheney.
On August 8, 2000, Gore made his long-awaited announcement of a running mate, choosing
Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut. Lieberman is the first Orthodox Jew ever to be
named on the ticket for a major national party. His strong support of campaign finance reform is
expected to help Gore deflect Republican criticism of his past fund-raising activities. Lieberman
was also the first prominent Democrat to publicly chastise President Clinton for his admitted affair
with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and his presence on the ticket will give Gore
some much-needed distance from the less savory aspects of the Clinton legacy. Gore and
Lieberman received their party's formal nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Los
Angeles in mid-August.
Gore has been married to Mary Elizabeth Aitcheson, who he met at a school dance during his
senior year of high school, since 1969. Known as “Tipper,” Mrs. Gore has been involved in the
campaign for labeling of music that contains sexually explicit content. In 1999, Mrs. Gore also
made news when she publicly spoke about suffering from depression. The Gores have four
children: Karenna Gore Schiff (who has assumed an increasingly important role as an advisor to
her father), Kristin, Sarah, and Albert III.
