"Are you going to carry into the presidency all of the baggage and scar tissue of the last few years?" Shannon said, adding that his candidate offers the country a fresh start.
Shannon then left the forum while the Gore representatives gave their presentation.
Akin and Shnur, who both work with Gore, spoke based on their personal experiences with the vice president.
Gore is a person that has the ability to come up with "great plans," Akin said. He not only "wants to make government smaller, but better," she added.
Schnur described the Vice President as dedicated, knowledgeable, and "incredibly principled." In Malaysia, for example, Gore gave a speech on human rights even though it landed him in political deep water, Schnur said.
Schnur further emphasized Gore's faith in family and community. To support them, Schnur said, Gore wants to increase expenditures on childcare and preschool, which he said will help lower income communities.
"He is somebody who has a profound vision on where the country needs to go and where the world needs to go in the long term," Schnur said.
