How will DU react to Gore endorsing Obama?

[sidwill]

Will Hill's supporters start numerous threads about how much they really dislike Gore and how he ushered in the Bush era?

From the looks of this board I guess yes.

1. Well, Gore then obviously drank the koolaid

and is too conservative anyways.


bwahahahahah

[jackson_dem]

3. The irony is if Gore ran against Obama Obamites would attack him as too conservative, a flip flopper

[skipos]

6. No, that describes Hillary 100%, not Gore. nt

[jackson_dem]

8. What they did to Hillary and especially Edwards they would do to Gore

Gore was more conservative early in his career than Hillary and Edwards ever were.

[tammywammy]

9. Really?

You got proof to back that up? Most people wanted Gore to jump in months and months ago. If Gore was in the race Obama wouldn't be.

[jackson_dem]

10. Look at what they did to Edwards and Hillary

I don't think Obama would have cared if Gore was running. It would have stolen some of his thunder, though, over the war.

[tammywammy]

16. Obama is separate from the supporters on DU

Obama would never trash Gore like you're saying.

But this is all moot, Gore isn't running.

[jackson_dem]

17. I said Obamites, not Obama, would attack Gore

[tammywammy]

20. Um, in the post I replied to it says

"I don't think Obama would have cared if Gore was running."

That's not Obamites.

[jackson_dem]

23. That is a separate issue

I think obama would have run with or without Gore. I don't think he would have aggressively attacked Gore but his supporters would have.

[MadBadger]

13. Actually, Id bet you a lot of us would be supporting him...including myself.

[Scriptor Ignotus]

18. ditto - eom

[jackson_dem]

19. Then you wouldn't be an Obamite. I mean those who would still support Obama

[ErnestoG]

2. You can count on that.

Hillary Clinton is the protean candidate..like Mitt Romeny. Willing to say or do anything to win. And that includes trashing Al Gore if necessary, I'd put money on it.

4. Heads will explode.

5. we'll see who gore endorses - may not endorse anyone and stay away until after nom is selected

[tammywammy]

12. Oh I don't see Gore endorsing anyone until the General

[Jamastiene]

22. Stop the presses. Wow, we have diff. candidates in our siglines

yet we agree on something. :wow: :D

[tammywammy]

25. LOL

It happens. But I think I'm pretty fair. ;)

Seriously, no one should speculate about Gore. Gore does what Gore wants to do. I'd be shocked if he endorsed in the primary.

[Jamastiene]

26. I would too.

He'll take the high road and let us decide, then put his support behind who we pick for the GE most likely.

7. Gore is endorsing Obama??? How'd I miss that?

A bit of sarcasm here. Jumping the gun a bit, are we? I love the way some Obama's supporters take that endorsement as a given, even as their due.

[sidwill]

11. I'm gonna bet that Gore endorses Obama this week

in advance of Super tuesday.

Gore has built up alot of political capital and it would be a waste not to weigh in on who will be the dem candidate. That said better than most he probably sees the rare opportunity to put forth a candidate that presents the very real possibilty of healing the nasty political divisions that are becoming ever more entrenched in our nation.

I'm calling it, Gore endorses Obama by Thursday.

[tammywammy]

21. I wouldn't expect that at all

I'd be really surprised if Gore endorses anyone in the primary.

[book_worm]

14. Let's wait and see what he does if anything before we speculate.

[TeamJordan23]

15. Just ask Oprah, Kerry, and Kennedy how they were treated after they endorsed Obama. nm

[Kucinich4America]

24. Al's not endorsing anybody.

After all, he could end up the nominee himself, in a brokered convention.

[BlackVelvet04]

27. I would react much as I have to anybody else's endorsement....

which is "so what".

[Marrah_G]

28. I love Gore- I hope he endorses no one.
