Great quote from Al Gore.
"I just turned 60, which is the new 59."

He was commenting on being called a "party elder," a term he had an issue with.

4. Gore speaks: I Still May Endorse

Gore speaks: I still may endorse
Posted: 03:51 PM ET

Gore's endorsement could shake up the presidential race.

(CNN) — It's an endorsement that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would love to score, but Al Gore has remained firmly neutral — even as the Democratic presidential race drags on months longer than expected.

Many have speculated why Gore, one of the party's most popular figures, has decided to stay on the fence, but the former vice president said Tuesday the reason is really quite simple — and he still may yet come out for a candidate.

"My purpose in not endorsing a candidate is nothing elaborate," he told National Public Radio. “I’m simply watching and listening to the campaign. As a delegate to the convention I will cast my vote at the proper time. I haven’t ruled out making an endorsement prior to that time, but I haven’t been moved to do so.”

Gore added, "I have respect for both candidates, they both have strengths, and I’m simply listening and watching like a lot of people.

5. I don't think he will...he's enjoying being seen as a party stalwart...
...and as long as he doesn't endorse, the media will talk about how his endorsement COULD prove helpful. So, if he endorses and nothing changes, well, that knocks him down a notch. Like Edwards, if he were to endorse, he would have done so by now.
