23. I don't think it would have the giant impact many predict it would
and I take Gore at his word when he says he isn't interested in the political life anymore. A huge endorsement like that comes with some form of active campaigning.

24. Uh... Al Gore is still a superdelegate.
So it's not like he's completely dropped out of politics.

6. I have an OT question...
Weren't you an Edwards supporter yesterday?

I could have sworn you had a Edwards avatar yesterday.

Or am I thinking of another BlueState______

10. It wouldn't be a big surprise
not because of anything Kristol says. Of course, DU would self-destruct, but that's OK.

11. I was curious about the timing of Kennedy's endorsement
Same day as SOTU and one day before Florida. Knocked out of the news cycle in 8 hours or less.

Over a week until super tuesday, how do you top Ted's endorsement?

Al Gore is the only one I could think of, but I dared not say it. Thursday or Friday would be best, if it is true.

19. "Last night, a close adviser said "nothing has changed" with regard to Mr. Gore's decision to keep
mum about an endorsement."

from your link. So, Kristol is lying, as usual.

18. As much as I'd like to believe it, I highly doubt Kristol has any clue about
a Gore endorsement. Sounds like he's trying to stir up shit to me.

20. If Bill Krystol is right on this, it will be the first time...
Truly, why is this guy still on TV? Why on EARTH is he in the NY Times? Has there ever been any bloviator more consistently wrong than this guy?

21. Sources say Gore may endorse Obama, unlikely to endorse Hillary...
...but it wouldn't happen until after Feb. 5.

Newsmax has learned from Democratic sources that Gore is said to be waiting until after the primaries on Super Tuesday, Feb. 5 to enter the fray with an endorsement.


The word in political circles is that if Obama appears the winner that day, Gore will endorse him — in hopes of driving the final nail into the coffin of the Hillary Clinton campaign.


As the Insider Report has disclosed on several occasions beginning in June 2005, Kennedy and Gore have been disgusted by Bill and Hillary Clinton’s moderate politics.


Both were disturbed by Hillary’s hawkish stance on the Iraq war. Early on in the 2008 race, Kennedy had even endorsed Kerry for the 2008 nomination.

28. Too funny! Truly, why on earth would Krystol be breaking this?
I think we can all speculate that this is happening soon. Gore hates the Clintons and has already indicated he will endorse someone at some point. It's not a leap to choose Barrack.
