Edwards's Endorsement of Obama Starts `Al Gore Watch'

[Klukie]

May 15 (Bloomberg) -- John Edwards's endorsement yesterday of Barack Obama leaves former Vice President Al Gore as the major Democratic figure still on the sidelines in the party's presidential race.

Gore, 60, who won the Nobel Prize and built a constituency by championing the fight against climate change since losing the election to George W. Bush, has so far stayed out of the battle between Obama and Clinton.

``The Al Gore watch starts now,'' said Ken Goldstein, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

6. I won't. It will mean another good Democrat has lost his marbles.

9. There's no chance of that. Relations between Gore and Hillary

are not particularly warm. My bet is that Gore endorses Obama shortly after Oregon. It really is essentially over.

3. Well, Jimmy Carter hasn't officially endorsed Obama either, but has hinted at it.

7. if jimmy endorses obama, i will know my instincts are right.

8. Carter's Endorsement Would Hurt Obama

hey, nothing against Carter personally - I think he's done a lot of admirable stuff. But, I would bet Carter is not seen too favorably by the people Obama is already having trouble winning to his side.

10. most of those wouldn't move to Obama if Jesus Christ himself endorsed him.

We can't worry about the haters.

13. not true... i could possibly be convinced to vote obama, but i highly dislike Carter.

12. I'd be surprised if Gore endorses ANYONE prior to the convention.

Carter might, but if he were going to I think he would have already. Al won't. Period. Feel free to say "I told you so" if it turns out I'm wrong.

16. I would think Gore would wait until the convention

Carter too. Besides, it's over. There's no real reason for an endorsement now that the primaries are winding down with a clear winner. This would make for awesome theater during the convention though!

17. He already has Al Gore in Private, and he will do just like he did with Edwards

and release that fact in a very public big way to once again, take the gas out of the Hillary train

I promise it will be big, spectacular and brutal
woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

19. Al Gore is dead to me now

I can't wait for some DUer to say this! :rofl:
