Is Gore going to endorse

Has anyone out there heard the rumor I just heard that Gore might endorse someone, perhaps depending on the outcome of the Iowa caucuses and/or the debate to be held in NH on Sat.?

know personally? When Al Gore talks, people listen.

Welcome to DU.

word passed along to me from the fellow in NH who has been coordinating the NH write-in effort for NH voters to put Gore's name on the primary ballot. I came over to NH yesterday (from Rochester, NY) to help in that effort (as I had been helping from home for the past several weeks with phone calls, e-mails, etc.). We were planning on some "visibilities" on Friday and Saturday to make sure NH voters knew they had this option. As it stands now, we are not going to be doing that since if the rumor is true, our efforts would look kind of foolish.

has so much logic that it is apparently too much for many to grasp. His endorsement would compromise the weight of his infinitely critical agenda on one person. It might even be worse if it worked, but like the Dean endorsement it is unlikely to do anything except color his present crucial role for the environment. Once nominated it is extremely clear that any Dem nominee can be endorsed for the c sake of that agenda AND have the best effect that Gore could hope to achieve in any event. There, it is crystal clear that the GOP is the foe of progress and the environment or must be made to step back into line by this kind of pressure.

The last time, Gore did attempt to influence the direction of the party. This time he still intends to do it for a greater reason that does not involve person, but moving all parties toward the environment. In an election that the GOP seeks to fills with their talking points and distractions, this is exactly what the democrats most need, much more than the particular choice of even the most progressive candidate.

Gore explained this more simply and better, but no one is listening until his final endorsement- of the party platform on the environment and global warming will demonstrate how right he was.

Sure, and then he comes out on Friday and endorses Ralph Nader, but what I posted sounds good to me.

It would cut the cord of hope for one thing, be discourtious for another.
