Future ABC and CBS newsman Roger Sharp interviews Senator Al Gore, Sr., D-Tenn., (the future VP's father) in 1958. Gore discusses the economic recession, rumors of President Eisenhower's resignation, and projects a Democratic Party landslide in the 1958 Congressional elections. (Some film damage, mostly near the beginning.)

  • No Albert Gore Sr. did not help Robert Byrd with the filibuster to stop Civil Rights legislation. Gore was one of the few Senators, as a matter of fact, who refused to sign the Southern Manifesto in the 1950s. Although he did vote against some Civil Rights legislation in 1964, due to political pressure, he voted solidly for it in 1965. In fact, Gore's support for Civil Rights likely lead to his defeat in the 1970s.

  • Hey, this is the guy who led the longest filibuster in American history(along with Robert(KKK)Byrd against Civil rights!! He didn't think to much of them "niggers" as he said!

  • as robotic as his mundane son!!!
