Al Gore slams the door on running or joining

anybody's administration.

AL GORE wants to make a sequel to his Oscar-winning documentary on global warming – and despite Earth’s “rising fever” he is still hopeful for a happy ending.
We are, he says, all players in deciding the outcome.(snip)

Mr Gore refuses publicly to endorse either Obama or Clinton despite admitting both have sought his support.
As a “superdelegate” he could have an important casting vote in deciding who wins the Democratic nomination in August, and Obama has vowed to include him in his administration.
But the former statesman told The Sun he will not take up a formal role in government.
“I don’t intend to be a part of any administration,” he revealed. “I’ve been Vice President, I ran for President twice, so I don’t have any interest in being a cabinet member.
“I think my best use is in building grass-roots support.

3. Actually I m pretty sure he would take umbrage with the way Hillary called him Elitist

And said "thats why Gore and Kerry lost, because they were out of touch" way to be a democrat, think ist safe she wont be getting any favors from him for the rest of her senate seat.

4. Except she didn't say they were out of touch

she said they were portrayed as out of touch. She was right.

Please parse this for what she meant.

"But large segments of the electorate concluded that they did not really understand or relate to or frankly respect their ways of life."
