I assume if Gore endorses Obama or Edwards, nobody will suggest he is dissing Clinton?

Kerry does not owe Edwards.

Gore does not owe the Clinton's.

I expect any politician of integrity will endorse whom ever he/she feels is best for our country at the time. Kerry followed his conscience and did not give a damn if he hurt someone's feelings. I appreciate that and am glad he made his endorsement of Obama early in the primaries.

He did the right thing.

We like to nail the pukes and freepers for being a good ol boys club and marching in lock-step; I'm glad Kerry decided to go with CHANGE rather then endorsing one of the old guard.

I hope it's a trend that continues to catch on!

Now, I wonder who Gore and Kennedy will endorse...

1. Good point.
I think Gore said he wouldn't endorse until the nominee is chosen or is evident.

2. You make the assumption that all these comparisons are equal!
They are not. Al and Hillary were never running mates. This is a small difference.

3. Running mates does not matter - look what Loserman did
I'm simply suggesting that Kerry should not put any personal obligation ahead of what he feels is best for the party.

And I say that as someone who would be thrilled if Edwards was our nominee.
