This is the only part of the article that seems controversial to me and I cannot explain why it seems wrong!
The closest I can get is to suggest that a paraphrase of "Give Al Gore and I a chance" is "Give Al Gore a chance, and me too" and that this intended meaning is what constrains the pronoun to be "me".
