Isn't Al Gore a superdelegate and as such, doesn't he HAVE to endorse?

:shrug:

Educate me, please.

even regulars delegates don't HAVE to vote

Al's sly.

Sorry.

endorse or vote for that matter.

He is a super delegate, by virtue of his being a past Vice President. But he doesn't have to endorse anyone. Super delegates are not required to endorse any candidate.
