Al Gore lost his home state of Tennessee in the 2000 election. What does that tell you? Bias? Sure, if you call the people who know Gore best biased, they all hate him. Gore would of won the 2000 election if his home state voted for him, but they knew Gore best and knew he would of done a terrible job. Thanks democrats of Tennessee, you did right!

As our Senator and as Vice-President I see no benefits or results this state received from the service of V-Pres. Albert Gore, Jr.
Of course, we've also recently had the service of the Senate Majority Leader with no benefit to our state either. Maybe we should select U.S. Senators that just want to be of service to the state, and not to their national egos or enhance their Washington Power credentials. I know of no recent Tennessean that deserves a statute on the Capitol grounds.
Govskeptic, good ideal. Someone who pushed for accelerated internet development many years ago & more recently won a Noble prize for what may be the most important issue on the planet doesn't deserve any local recognition.
However, this Jocko lawn ornament:

would wonderfully commemorate the past 6 months of our Tennessee legislature.
Jocko....you almost killed me with that post. Literally. I was laughing so hard I choked.
My condolences if you truly do have to live with those dorks as neighbors. Beautiful state, but it might take another 25 years before the banjos fade into the background.
That is great Jocko. He doesn't need a statue, in his mind he is the greatest person on the earth. Keep thinking it big Al, ur liberal buds are the only ones buying your crap.
There are only a couple of public figures that Tennessee has to be proud of, Al Gore and Dolly Pardon. There is only one thing about my life that I am ashamed of and that is the state that I was born in. Tennessee is a spiritually bankrupt place where ignorance, bigotry and racism are worn like a badge of honor. It relentlessly holds onto its place as one of the worse educated societies in the western world. Thank God I did not have to spend my entire life in that cesspool. Tennessee is like a giant turd floating in a toilet that just won't flush. I use that analogy because its one that the average Tennessean is capable of grasping.
"Does this make Senate Republicans look petty and ridiculously partisan? You bet."
Ha!
The notion that Gore is deserving of a statue on the Capital grounds is ridiculously partisan to begin with.
Aren't statues generally raised in memory of a prominent person, after they've died? The counter examples that come to mind are in the case of totalitarian dictators, such as Saddaam Hussein or Kim Jung Il I am certain that Al gore does not want to be remembered in that way
