CNN

Gore is a superdelegate so he will be in fact endorsing someone one way or the other when he casts his vote during the convention. And superdelegates may play a vital role in the democratic nomination process. Click on my site to find out why.

This is really unfortunate and hard to understand why.
The Clintons treated Gore when he ran poorly.
You Mr. Gore also KNOW THEM and how they operate.
I find it sad that you cannot endorse a person of integrity, brilliance and that can make a difference and start to get us out of the mess we are in now.
YOU SHOULD ENDORSE OBAMA NOW. After the rpimaries it is irellevant and UNNECESSARY.
I wish Mr. Gore you would reconsider and lend us your support.

The clintons had done so many things for minority most specially for the BLACKS & LATINOS. Latinos know how to appreciates what was done for them but Blacks, they only appreciate nothing & only cares about themselves – just see how they voted. Talking about discrimination & always CRY about it ................

Funny how all the Hillary Supporters are Glad he hasn't made a decision. While Barack supporters really don't care. We stick to the facts and appreciate any supporters..

Ps. Did Hillary ever thank Barack on his wins...nope

Clinton does earn and win the vote from latinos/hispanics. She has worked tirelessly to help folks out. The gentleman that mentioned that Senator Clinton had fired her campaign manager is wrong. She still has her with her on the campaign. A lot of things could have happened that we don't know. Campaigns are probably the most exhausting for folks. Please be careful what you say.

This Hispanic is voting for Senator Clinton

NO to Monarchy, and or Dynasty..............this is 2008. The simple truth is one can choose for

BIllary vs Obama

old politics vs. change
establishment vs. people
huge corporations vs. communities
monarchy/dynasty vs. a democracy
status quo vs. chance for our children
lies vs. truth
few chosen vs. diversity at all levels
35 + yrs of blah vs. re construct our country
affairs vs. respect of our youth in DC and in office
power of the few vs. power from , by and for the poeople
deceit vs. honesty and integrity.......

no matter how one looks at it..............Obama or Mcain,

I've got it!!

Obama/Gore '08!

If memory serves, didn't Gore endorse Howard Dean the last go-around? I think that experience taught him a lesson. He'll endorse when the nominee is clear, if he's smart.

If these blogs are any indication, Democrats are gonna be in real trouble in the fall. This puppy is looking not to be settled til the convention.... where roughly half the Dems are going to leave very unhappy... with many bailing to vote Republican in retaliation, which could easily spell defeat. I can see the finger pointing and excuses already... whether it's the media, or we're not ready for a woman president, blah, blah, blah. Democrats will have only themselves to blame. I am enjoying the fight.

Al Gore for president!

i think americans should be tired of political dynasty and cronyism,why should the most powerful country on earth keep recycling families in its politics instead of injecting new bloods with fresh ideas that will move the country forward and restore its dignity in the global community.it would be very senseless of any right thinking voter to allow the mistake of the bush years to repeat itself by electing people who think they have forgotten something in the white house that they want to go back and retrieve.
Americans should get it right this time around and safe the world from the carnage of the bush years; a word is enough for the wise.

Gore's being a weenie. We're all Democrats at the end of the day and I'll support the party's nominee, no matter who he is (Obama). Endorsements usually don't matter, but Gore's really would.

This is the first election I've witnessed where the race of this person or that person has been so prominent. It is so divisive, how can a person who claims to be the UNITER cause so much discourse? You start with the Africian-American diffinition of a candidate. You bring out big name supporters who are also black. Mention MLK often and there you have it. Obama mentions something racial in every speech, MLKs' "the time is now." He says, yes we can in spanish. He is a divider to Nth degree.

To Lucas, South Carolina:
Hillary's first public appointment was to the Judiciary Committe studying
the Impeachment of Nixon. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the board of the Legal Services Corporation, which sole purpose is to help the poor.
Now, in 1978 that would have made Obama...what... 10 YEARS OLD!!!!!
Now, elected office...Hillary...NY Senator elected in 2000.
Obama, Illinois Senator elected in 2005.
Now, how could Obama have more time in the Senate?

I`ll have to admire Al for standing up for what he believed in, the environment, and withstanding the withering degredation and denial of overwhelming scientific evidence by the Bush administration. To this administration, if it`s "not good for business, it`s not good for America". To them, it`s business -FIRST,LAST and ALWAYS. Humans are just necessary "parts" you need to keep the business up and running till they can find a cheaper way to get the job done. - The true measure of any man is what they DO, not what they profess.-– Judge by their deeds, not words.

I never liked the man anyway. I just don't understand what some people see in him. Not having Gore tied to your campaign is a plus. He had to find something to do to keep his name on the front page, because mostly he is a bore.

You know, if you vote Obama, you are "going with the flow" (movement, momentum). But I found whenever you "go with the flow" you never get done what you want done. Vote Hillary, what needs to be done will be done.

To Lee: Yes, finally....someone who dares to say it...
Come on Obama..tell us "how" OR SHUT UP!

To: Veteran 4 Obama: 8 years ago Obama wasn't even in politics,
go check out his website and READ......why do you think Hillary does
so well against Obama in debates? Think about it...

SHE LIVED IT, HE HAS TO READ ABOUT IT...

Gore finally feels he has power, which means alot to a power hungry politician. I don't think he should be a professor corrupting the minds of university students in very liberal universities such as Columbia. They deserve someone better.

I believe this a blow to the Clinton campaign. After being the Clinton vice-president, and the Clinton's presidential nominee in 2000, it is clear that he knows Hillary more than anyone of us. Still, he chooses not to endorse her, when she needs all the help she can get. To all of you that pretend that endorsements don't matter,WAKE UP!

They might not matter to you personally, but they certainly are important from the superdelegates' perspective...

Al Gore is a shoe in to be on the administation on either an Obama or Clinton presidency. Why should he ruin his chances by endorsing either one?

Apparently, CNN doesn't like to report all the news and who says Obama doesn't listen to or take money from lobbyists.

"Executives and employees of Exelon Corp., a Chicago-based energy giant and nuclear plant operator, have contributed more than $200,000 to Obama's campaigns since 2004. This month, The New York Times examined whether Obama, at the behest of Exelon lobbyists, had watered down legislation aimed at tightening regulations on the nuclear industry."

It distresses me that the dems could lose this election because much of the country, who voted for Bush, are the type who wouldn't vote for a black or female candidate. I can't help but wish that Al Gore were in this race.

Algore didnt' get the electoral votes needed to win the office of POTUS.

The official recounts and recounts by LIBERAL newspapers proved this.

Who cares who that windbag endorses?

If he ever chose to run again he would LOSE again. Like or not, libs, America is NOT a socialist country.

Gore is too busy chasing Manbearpig to be concerned about this upcoming election. Go get 'em Al!!!

"Jenny ,
He raises the bar in politics and the clearest example of this is in how he has forced Hillary to run a less demonizing campaign."

Jenny, I think criticism is not attack. Clinton said he doesn't have experience, and he got pay off from Rezko, which are valid if you have seen news. Someone said Clinton swiftboat him, and I think it's rather a friendly fire compared with Republican's attacks.

Obama has to know how to handle criticism, but not be protected by reverse racism. He can't run a country in protection of reverse racism. it's not acceptable. Clinton couldn't risk losing black votes, not the case for republicans. So you will see how ugly it will get once he gets nominated.

Solis-Doyle was not forced out. if she was would she be traveling with Hillary? She really has been removed from the daily routine and has the next president's ear. Don't be so foolish as to think that you need to change your vote because of her new role. That's what the media and the Obama people want you to do.

Hey yo latinos don't be stupid vote Obama so you can get your license.
As you know we don't like each other but this time we will give you license and increase your food stamps is that cool with you?
Please vote Obama

Eric in Texas. Latinos like you really get under my skin. This is why I vote Republican. They will not sell out to you to get your votes. You people want to sit around and blame everything on your skin color, and the Dems will come running with promises just to get your votes. You can't fire a person because they're latino? Give me a break. Why don't you go back to whatever country you really call home and stay out of American politics.

p.p.s. is eric, tx, an obama-bot as a hillary supporter argues, or is the hillary supporter who calls eric obama-bot a hillary bot, or both? oh brother....

I want to know exactly what Obama is talking about when he says "change."
What is he going to change? What is his plan for the economy-don't just say you are going to fix it. HOW? HOW? Sick of listening to this inexperienced jerk who hasn't got a clue and can only mimick Martin Luther King's speech style and make promises about the "change" he will bring.

GIVE US FACTS OR SHUT UP.

p.s. or most of these "democrats" on this blog are Rove's rats?

most of the self-declared democrats on this blog simply prove why the dems have lost all its power and credibility in the first place: they are oppotunistic powermongering idiots, worse than the GOPers (who are simply either too dumb or too evil, and it all shows plainly).

GO Nader GO! All the way!!! Until this phony democracy of the so-called two party system disintegrates to dust!!!!!!!!!!!

Not so fast about Obama's VP yet! Hope with full of dope has some more to prove. He was empty and still is empty.

If he is nominated – I go for McCain.

The campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton will stop on march 7.

working on his own power is NOT the same as working on what he believes to be good for humanity. I would praise gore only if i knew for fact that he is holding back his support because he doesn't see his causes being sufficiently represented by any of the candidates. his track record doesn't convince me but people grow and change.....

We Latino's in Texas need to come together and vote obama. I was leaning toward hilary till I see she forced our fellow latino Solis Doyle to step down (fired for all purposes). Is this what we can expect. Hilary giving us Latino voters promises and then when she gets our vote, throwing us to the side because she got what she wanted. We need to come together as Latino's and make a stand. I am voting obama.

eric, Tx. your race card is toxic and gonna drive all the other non-hispanic voters away from whoever gets more hispanic votes and against any humane immigration bill. good job, dude.

Obama has more experience in elected office that Hillary Clinton. People who want to argue for Hillary, fine, please do. But she does not have more experience than Obama does. It just isn't true.

I feel the love in the CNN blog zone today! We are all uptight.

Eric, TX... nice way to change up the story as to why Solis Doyle stepped down. You should work for CNN. They change the meaning of EVERYTHING.

I think endorsements are stupid if we follow them. They are all for personal gain on behalf of the individual, NOT for showing US who to vote for.

We have 2 awesome candidates to choose from. It would be best to have all the votes in now and change our selection process.

it is ridiculous.

Obama has more experience in elected office that Hillary Clinton. People who want to argue for Hillary, fine, please do. But she does not have more experience than Obama does. It just isn't true.

Never mind Gore's endorsement. Could CNN please report more on its bottom-screen ticker yesterday about Obama's large campaign contributions from numerous lobbyists and several PACS?

Google "Clinton convicts" and see the results – that is the legacy of the Clintons. If ethics, integrity and morals matter to you, then vote to reject the Clintons. Otherwise Bill will be back in the White House selling and granting executive pardons to the highest bidding felon.

It is time to turn the page on the Clinton-Bush era. Vote McCain. Vote Obama. Vote Huckabee. Vote Ron Paul. REJECT SCANDALS, America deserves better.

Mr. Gore, remember the Clintons supprted you when you were campaigning for the presidency. Put your support where you got it for yourself. We tend to forget who has helped us out when it was needed. Hillary needs your support so be the man and come right out and endorse her. I am sure Obama was not there to support you so you hold no obligation to him. Hillary is the stronger candidate so do your job abd support her.

Forget the media hype because if Obama wins, the republican will definitely get back in and I am sure you won't that to happen. Hillary is the right person for the job.

There will be no role for Gore to facilitate. He will let Billary fight there own battles. They either sink or swim. And I think they will sink. Texas, OH, and PA are not going to turn out the way Hillary thinks. That's the word from my crystal ball.

He should just go away.

young educated people 4 obama 08

hillary sucks.....shes had her time. we need new faces

They say latinos are in a majority voting for Hillary....could that be because latinos in general do not like blacks? Could this be a racist play by the latinos? I suspect the answer is yes....Rascism is not a term limited to caucasians, that is a fact. Anyone who would say otherwise is a fool and narrow minded.

I will love Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic primaries because for the Democrats not to loose it this time around as everything is set for the democrats to take over the white house , they the Clintons once again to fight against the Republicans for experience in governance, better economic prospects and plans, racial segregation which i dont think Barrack Obama has. I think Obama will be a candidate that will be better off if he comes after Hillary finishes in power as he would have learnt a lot and he will follow the Clintons as i believe in the Clintons economic magic. It has worked flor America in the past and it will work again just allow Clinton now and please let Obama my man take over from after her tenure in the white house.

I am a Nigerian staying in the UK. I love Obama but please Obama i am also black try and allow Clinton now and come after her later UP Democrats.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found it sad as a outsider, to see such a large amount of comments focusing on Latino, Black and other issues....are you Democrats the party of the people, are you so focused on these frankly sterotypical issues that you decide to vote purely on race, wheter that be Hilary sacking her latino campaign manager, or Obama having very few high ranking black memebers of hs campaign team...it just sounds so insignificant, what happened to voting for the candidate that has policys which YOU support, you are indviduals it's time some you act like it and stopping throwing mud around...

I think Mr. Gore is right in not endorsing any of the two Democratic presidential candidates at this time. He is smart in waiting and hopefull he will wait until
remaining states are done with their voting. He had my vote in 2000 and he has my now. Too bad Mr. Gore is not running for president at this time.

Hasn't Al heard about the DEADHEADS FOR OBAMA concert? I know he and Tipper are long time afficionados of The Grateful Dead.....but then i heard Bill likes the Dead too. Leave to Al to put the Country ahead of his personal preferences...

I wish he was running.

Good for him. This is the way our elder statesmen should act, not running to endorse someone becaue of spite (like Kennedy).

Everyone wants to influence the election. Everone is in denial about race and ethnicity. 80 percent blacks, high percentage of educated, and high percentage of young are voting for Obama.

My question is about the 80 percent of blacks? Are they rich, educated, and young? I suppose it's not about race! I wonder if the Black/White divide will eventally come into play if Obama is the noiminee? I wonder what would happen if the Whites would behave like Blacks?

I believe that Obama will get the nomination! He deserves it. But the bottom line is that most americans will opt for who is more experienced in this perilous time in our history. I also buy into the historical nature of having a black or woman for the first time. I don't actually know what the outcome would be. I don't think anyone else know. So do you civic duty, and don't tell me what to do!

According to some reports in some of the caucus states they were as young as 15 & 16 – yet no-one checked their ages. Obama is bussing in voters for caucuses and open registration on the day primaries and anyone who can't see it is blind or dumb.

What is going on here is not democracy but kleptocracy.

Amazing how much misinformation gets posted about each candidate from the opposing side...smh...yes people are indeed sheep.

Still flip-flopping!!

some one should encourage Gore to get into this race. It would be really fun to watch all Obama's and Clintons supporters jump ship. the media would have a field day covering this. Ratings would sky-rocket the economic stimulas of money pored into covering every detail of this event might balance the budget before Bush leaves office. Democrats could take full credit for this and be seen as the saviors of the free world on two different levels economic , and global warming.,,,,,,, NOT !

Thanks Gore.

But its advisable you Go for OBAMA. This man has demostrated he he is for real change.

Thanks Al

Senators Reid and Pelosi no longer care about the American people, so why should we care about who they will endorse?

Chris, Middletown. You need to stay on the flat earth blog at FOX. This venue is for adults.

Al Gore is the best. It would be good to find out who he and Edward's are voting for.

After all the GWB nonsense war against Americans, any ethical democrat will be the ticket.

I'm not sure if being mum on his endorsements is good for either candidate although given the fact that he was the VP to Bill Clinton, by not endorsing Hillary, says a lot. So perhaps he really wants to endorse Obama, but doesn't want to threaten his long-time standing with the Clintons. That being said, I can't help but wonder what this nation would have been with Gore as president for the last 8 years instead of Bush. Perhaps we would have never gotten into this Iraq War to the same extent as we have been; as of now, the Iraq War has lasted longer than World War II - a much more involved war. Gore got my vote then, and would get it now - if he were running.

All I know:
If Obama gets the nomination, then I'm voting McCain.
If Hillary gets the nomination, then she gets my vote.

Gore is a smart guy and the Clintons should have campaigned for him during his election to the White House....

Go Obama!

"I am a woman, and I can honestly say that Hillary Clinton is a disgrace to all women."

Honestly? You can honestly say that? You must be so proud.

I think Gore is correct in not choosing a candidate. He should be encouraging Americans to 1) Vote and 2) Make an informed choice by reading the issues, engaging in discussions and voting for the person they think is best qualified for the job.

I believe that any person who actually examines the issues and makes an informed choice has my respect, regardless of who they choose.

Personally, I believe that the only logical choice for the democratic presidential nominee – based on a need for change, history of action, and experience is Hillary Clinton.

I have to admit, I hate all this political deal making and agreements. It's dogone childhis to me that one candidate would say "you didn't endorse me for the nomination, so even though we're in the same party, I'm not going to work with you".

Personally, I'd love to see either Obama (or Clinton, although I think it is not needed as much) choose Bill Richardson as a running mate. Not only do I like the man's politics, it would be a beautiful inter-brown diverse ticket. In fact, although I'm not latin, I would have possibly voted for Bill Richardson if he had still been in it when my state held it's primary.

Al Gore is the best president the United States (n)ever had. We ended up with George Bush instead!

Ok, even though Gore has his right not to endorse, I have to say I am personally disappointed and offended that he is not with Clinton.
They were very close and had so many great experiences together, plus he of all people know the persaverance Clinton demonstrates and knows that she will GET IT DONE (whether it's ending the war or finally addressing global warming).

....But like I said he has the right to make his own decisions, so OBAMA PEOPLE, PLEASE DON'T START YOUR HATRED AS USUAL

Hey guy!Hillary need ours help.please donate money to her campaign now.

solis doyle is similar to bill richardson a wealthy boston brahmin educated at private schools and tufts u. by his wealthy boston banker father (probably a republican) a wealthy castlian spanish woman and then guillermo has tried to spend the last twenty years impersonating a mexican fron NM.

voters don't buy off on these ethnic ;ies, remember anyone can pull these ethnic rabbits out of their hats.

Jeff, Dallas – Tx is correct, if he decides to vice one or t‘other, you have the winner.
Jeff, keep posting your comments, Gore is a wise man but needs a little push?
So push, my friend, for your comments are also wise!

who is gore?

Conspiracy Theory:

Republicans have united in force to beat out Clinton by endorsing Obama. Psyche war tactic.

Democrats must not fall into this trap!

Gore did a smart thing to stay out of it. Hillary is a nightmare and I agree with the post that Clinton's skank past cost Gore the election. I think if he truly supported Hillary he would have supported her and campaigned for her. That he hasn't speaks volumnes. I think 30 years of Bush/Clinton is enough..I'm so sick of the these people.

Obama 2008

I'm a latina and I'm voting Hilary!.... Obama is not clear of what he will do for is us and by us I don't mean just Latinos. Hope and dreams will not fix our problems... VOTE HILARY!

CNN, post that one about Clinton only releasing her tax return AFTER she secures the nomination!!! This woman is a JOKE!!!

As a minority in the States with a good view of the international politics, I believe the United States of America is in need of an experienced nurse who can sew up her wounds, not a plastic surgeon for a quick appearance fix.

America does not need Change (Obama) as much as it needs to Heal (Clinton).

I urge you to not blindly vote for the most photogenic or handsome candidate as this is not Hollywood.

Please wake up from the pop culture brainwash that the media has created, Americans, and show the rest of the world how intelligent and grounded you really are!

just remembering a post i saw on another site. someone who said he was latino and for obama – he said "estoy latino." any real latino knows that should be "soy latino." unless he was trying to say he is just temporarily latino or something like that.. just goes to show you can't really believe what everyone says on these sites. anyway, eric, a lot of latinos remember what the clintons have done for latinos for many years, starting with hillary since the 1970s, and will vote accordingly.

I think Gore is just waiting for a complete deadlock at the convention and then he can come riding heroically to rescue and be nominated by acclaim.

all latinos make me cry most of them don't have a peper so they believe Hillary gona give them you gona loses your hopes soon.

I will support whoever is the Dem nominee.

That said, Obama actually took the time to march in the large immigration rallies as a U.S. Senator here in Chicago. One of only two - the other was Ted Kennedy

And some joker upstream had a whole list of false statements about Obama. He won't release his Illinois legislative records? We are proud of his records and his accomplishments. And Rezko, etc. has been proven that he did nothing wrong. And the lies go on and on. People love to repeat made up stories. The Powers That Be are afriad that we will get a real man of the people in the White House.

I know the rest of America only sees an image, but he is a genuine and gracious man to those of us who know him in Chicago. God bless him and God bless you all. I wish you knew just what an opportunity we have here.

So Solis-Doyle WANTED to step down–punish Cllinton? Even if Clinton asked her to step down, why not if the goal to win is not being achieved? As a Hispanic, I resent the shallow thinking that one should not support Clinton for making a decision to improve her campaign–look at the big picture folks!

I do not trust Obama. he is pro-war. Whatever he is saying is not true. It does not make sens, he want to finish war in Irak and start a new one in Afganistan or Pakistan. He is not himself and we could go to disaster. Obama supporters, just read his program, just read it once

Gore is a liar...Unamerican....And a goof ball....Get out Albert

Wow...all of the serious Obama hating by the latinos on this blog reminds me of the snarling that poor whites used to do regarding black southerners.

Way back when, the White Citizens Councils across the south used to keep poor whites from uniting with their black counterparts by essentially saying.."unite with us with us...even though you've got bad schools an no jobs, at least you're not black"..

Looks like the latinos may be falling for the same line...Sad.....

Hillary should drop out NOW for the sake of the Democrat Party just like Romney dropped out for the Republicans.

To Jules:

Jules wanted to know why, "if Obama is JFK," isn't he saying "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." Jules felt that Obama's government would "give everything away."

Have you listened to any of the speeches? Because the last two I saw and heard suggested that college kids would be required to give back in order to receive the college credit – community service, volunteer, or... join the Peace Corps (you remember who started that one, don't you?)

I personally don't believe he's another JFK... yet. He hasn't proven anything to me. But does he sound like him and inspire like him? By all accounts, yes. I'm just hoping he can lead a country like him.

He probably isn't saying anything because he wants to endorse Obama, but feels like he can't because he was Bill's VP and he doesn't want to really hurt Hillary's chances by slamming her by endorsing Obama publicly.

Gore looks good and I am sure Hillary would love to . . . . well, you know cause I know I sure would.

I hope GORE runs for president. I am 200% sure he will win. If Hillary is not the nominee of Democratic Party., I think Gore should run for PRESIDENT . Gore should run for PRESIDENT.

Gore would never endorse Hillary...too much bad blood between him and the Clintons. He is smart enough as Edwards to let this play out over the next few primaries before making an endorsement. I said it before and I'll say it again, an Obama-Edwards ticket would be unstoppable. Throwing Hillary into the mix would be begging for trouble....too much Clinton "bagagge" that the Republicans are ready to tear apart.. Obama has already verbalized his desire to have Gore as a member of his cabinet. Its just a matter of time before we see Edwards and Gore come on board. with endorsements.These three brilliant like-minded leaders would be awesome. Stand them up next to Hillarry, McCain or Huckabee would be "no contest".

If Obama wins the seat ..at least I will have the joy of watching the Republicans tear him to shreds ...

you are naive if you dont know that the Dem insiders will not let this happen ..they know what repubs will do to him and they want to win

Obama may have some thousands from Rezko, but Hillary took MILLIONS from Peter Paul. It may be the biggest campaign donation scandal ever, but oddly it has been covered up. Look into it.

Please get your political house in order. We (the rest f the world) are tired of being the recipents of your childish mistakes. Lead...follow... or...get out of the way.

I like Al Gore. I like Joe Biden. I love Hillary Clinton and know she will have these two men at her side to help her make serious decisions. She has high intelligence and is smart enough to collect a team of bright men and women to help clean up the Bush/Cheney mess we are in.

Al Gore is still one of the most respected in our Democratic Party. He is very smart in making decisions and good judgment and that’s what we need now as President. Clinton’s decision to endorse his wife is understandable but the rest of Dems that endorse candidates during primaries shows how stupid and dumb there judgments are. These endorsements have done nothing to our party but a very heavy damage to both candidates.

I support the Idea of Clinton- Obama ticket for 08 that’s the only chance left for Dems. to regain the WH.

To David in Texas:

It's pretty ironic for a rightwinged knuckledragger to label liberals as sheep. But I'll tell you what, if liberals are sheep then conservatives are bubonic plague-carrying sewer rats. Deal?

Now take a shower!

Sara, you are so transparent.

Can somebody help me? I can't find CNN's article about how John Glenn (Ohio, former Astronaut) and Ted Strickland (Ohio Governor) are endorsing Hillary?

Yeah, that's right, she's still in this and is keeping her eye on the prize!

Hillary in '08! (Haven't you learned? Never count NY out, no matter how one sided it seems!)

Who wants to be endorsed by this clown? Sounds like a kiss of death.

where all the white women at?

I think Gore endorsing neither is more of a blow to Clinton than to Obama. Are we forgetting that Gore was vice-president for Bill Clinton for eight years?!! To Gore, Obama is a new face in politics and it would not surprise anyone that Obama does not get a Gore endorsement. On the other hand, I can't help but think that Gore's reason for staying neutral has more to do with disagreement with the Clintons and less with riding the neutral high-horse....sort of a "Convenient non-truth".

stuart and CA Voter: I completely agree.

If people are going to vote McCain just because it's Obama over Clinton or Clinton over Obama, please grow up. Both have Democratic interests at heart and that is what matters in the end. Educate yourself or please just do the country a favor and don't vote.

Al Gore is only waiting on the sidelines out of respect for Bill Clinton. He knows that Barack Obama is the man, as the previous note said, the one the world is waiting for. It is interesting that the more voters get to know Obama, the more they like him. What fools Americans would be to miss this opportunity to really change things. For the less-partisan better

Did he invent the Internet? HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You're a good man, Mr. Gore. I still hope to see you as our president, someday very soon! Love Tipper too.

Gore knows the future is Obama, and an administration that is beholden only to the American people, which gives legislators riding Barack's coattails the cover needed to vote against big business and subsidies (hello oil companies) and for an expansion of covered health care, whether mandated or not. I cannot believe Al Gore doesn't harbor a soft spot for an intellectual AND common man that is Barack Obama. America, wake up! The world is waiting for you to elect this man, as an affirmation of all that is good about the USA.

It is time for change in America, and it is important for people like Al Gore who is on the full front for change in America's position on global warming to make his position clear. We want to know from Al Gore who he thinks can be a better partner when it comes to working together to save our environment. I do not want to believe that Al Gore does not want to endorse either Clinton or Obama simply because he feels that he is the only person that can do a better job as a president. It is not a good idea for people like Al Gore to remain silent. Al Gore needs to speak now or never in the future complain about not having the kind of support he needs to achieve his goals in changing America's position on issues that affect our environment. Al Gore, yes you can endorse Obama.

This is untrue that Harry Reid is not endorsing anyone. He is endorsing Hillary. In Searchlight where he lives he had publiclly announced to everyone there that he is for Hillary!

American women!! You are giving up your opportunity to finally put a woman in charge. It is not often or ever will you be given to support a "woman" with guts to take on the Republicans. Rove will beable to find a scheme to beat Obama. I heard him announce his prediction"WE WILL ELECT A REPUBLICAN. Beware!!

Gore may be wise in not endorsing either candidate at this time. However, I disagee with some of the posters that Gore cannot be President. When Obama wins he should offer Gore the VP post. Gore can serve 8 years as VP and still have time to run in 2016. Otherwise he has no chance. Of course, he should really be in his second term now.

Park More said:
"Former VP AlGore (Bill Clinton) knows very well Hillary and her convictions. On the other hand, he does not know Obama. To me it is obvious that AlGore is for Hillary-Clinton"
He knows very well Hillary and her convictions. Which is probably why he IS NOT endorsing her.

To my Latino Brothers and Sisters,

AS you can see Hillary has fired our Latina sister Solis Doyle. Wake up mi gente, this is what she will do to us. She will use us for votes and then throw us away. Please think before you vote and take a look at brother Obama he will reach out to the world.

It's a shame Gore didn't run. He would have taken the White House effortlessly, and America would be so much the better for it.

Al Gore is correct in not endorsing any candidate and staying above the pettiness of both campaigns. The environment is more important to him now.

Contrary to some readers, I don't believe that this means he favors Barack Obama.
After all, we are not mind readers.

Ted Kennedy and John Kerry should have stayed out it also.

Would you endorse the woman who neutered your role as VP?

Hillary has claimed as much about Bill's time in office.

I can not believe that Latinos are going with Clinton?? The Clintons did the same for the African-Americans and then dogged them. what do you think they are going to do with the Latinos. Give the man a chance he is for all people not just Latinos. You guys are so narrow minded. Obama

He is above all that race jive

The same old politics and then diss other states like they do not mean anything wow

Former Vice President Al Gore, our Environmental warrior, would be very welcome by all those who support the need for our politicians to take more action, not with words, but like Mr Gore, with action, to do more to solve this global crisis, our earth needs immediate attention, and Mr Gore has done absolutely outstanding work for all of us on this desperate planet.

Al Gore shows his political savvy! When Obama unfortunatley beats the better qualified Clinton (because Barak is a cheap infomercial star) and then loses to McCain in the fall, Al Gore will run and win in 2012 instaead of having to wait until 2016 if Hillary were the Democratic nominee and two-term President.

Winners win, and losers lose.
The losers always complain and point fingers at the other person.
Always excuse themselves of the necessary effort.
Not admiting to defeat.
Denying the very fact Hills campaign is financially bleeding.
She not admiting to the facts.
Let's count it again... loan 5 million, made 7 million, paid back the 5 million
which leaves 2 million, made 3 million which equals 5 million.

First, Al – thanks!

Second, what is this discussion about the super delegates? If you want the super delegates out and want the people to make the choice, then let the people who chose Hillary in Florida and Michigan have a voice!! Let the popular vote from ALL states decide.

The lack of an endorsement from Bill Clinton's former vice president is an absentee vote for Gore, not necesarilly an endorsement for Obama. Like the rest of Al's time in office, he can't make a decision because he doesn't want to alienate the public.

Gore, I voted for you back in 2000! I wish you had been President for 8 years...

DEMOCRATIC DEBATE IN PHILADELPHIA 10/30/07

When all seven of the candidates were asked whether they agree that illegal aliens should have driver's licenses, only Sen. Christopher Dodd said he disagreed. He then pressed Clinton on the issue and argued against the plan, saying: "A license is a privilege, and that ought not to be extended, in my view."
Clinton responded: "Well, I just want to add, I did not say that it should be done, but I certainly recognize why Governor Spitzer is trying to do."

MAYBE LATINO'S NEED TO ASK WHAT HAS HILLARY DONE FOR YOU LATELY!

OBAMA 08!

kiki,
I'm a woman, and i can say that your disgrace of Hillary's disgrace is a disgrace.

I would love for you to endorse Obama, Mr. President, but understand why you can't. You have my continued best wishes and respect.

Gore knows a phoney when he sees one and he should say so about Obama

thank you Richard.

This is most urgent situation for democratic party.
Democrates should unanamously nominate Al for presidency for party's unity.
Al is the only person who can bring the world together.
Draft Gore should be re-initiated.
Now Al ... you should listen to us too!!!!!!!!!!
Al Gore 2008.

blake, lol.

Oh, Mike stop your prurient behavior. For a country full of behind Pottery-Barn-curtains perverts, people sure act offended.

Al Gore has found his calling in the world green movement. Good for him.

HE IS THE MARK OF A TRUE STATESMAN.
Losers like Edward Kennedy and Kerry should have copied what is considered statesmanship from Al Gore. Of the three he was the only one who won but got cheated by the Supreme Court of the US. Big baad Kennedy lost to a lesser known peanut farmer from Georgia. Kerry got swifboated from his own stupidity.

These two losers were the very first to excruciatingly attack the Clintons in their support declarations for Obama. They should have stepped above the fray and waited without weighing in on any candidate over another. That would have been the mark of statesmanship. But then losers cannot be statesmen. Hence Clinton pulled a win right from under their noses in their own state.

Oh you poor latinos! Everyone is an immigrant here in immigrant here in America....you think you're any different. Either you're an American or you're not. If you're her to stay then get with the program. I'm sick and tired of hearing about the Latino vote.....there is no Latino vote....there's your vote...vote with your heart and gut;

who cares if mr gore endoreses mrs clinton or not god is with her and thats what matters but mr gore should,nt forget where he came from god will see her through and she will win the normination.God bless you hillary.

Typical Al Gore. I am thankful that the plastic man is keeping his crying fat mouth shut. The only thing worse then George W. Bush would be to have to listen to that so called southener tell us how wonderful one of the two candidates are. Why can he not just fade into background and then vanish? Besides how could anybody consider an endorsement of good old Hilary? I think it would be worse off then it is now if she wins!!

its amazing how biased wold blitzer and anderson cooper are in favor of hillary clinton and against barck obama. they just cant help themselves. i get a kick how during their election coverage after a primary or a caucus, they will always have a former clinton administration employee supposedly providing a fair analysis of the returns. they have had joe begala, or david gergen or james carville supposedly providing fair coverage of barck obama. cnn has become worse than fox.

Looks like a cord is coming out of his mouth. Is he really for real or just a make-believe Al Gore? Maybe that's his connection to Jimmy Carter.....................

I just love revisionist history. The only reason the Supreme Court had to make a decision in 2000 was because Gore contested the election. Bush won the election, period. It was never a "Gore victory" that was reversed by the high court. Can't you folks get over it? Besides, Gore is too busy to make such lightweight decisions on who to endorse when his mind is creating loftier theories on things like the Internet and Global Warming. I think he is working on a new device called a "cellular telephone" next.

I wish they gave jounalists a Nobel Prize for simply reporting on issues that others research. My closet would be full of them.

Ask Al about the billions of dollars in medications being flushed down toilets in nursing homes throughout the country every week, and the fact that traces of these medications are starting to turn up in drinking water supplies, according to the EPA.

McCain will never win the presidency and everyone knows that, they are just honoring an old man.

If Hillary Clinton wins she will beat him handly and even if Obama wins, which I doubt, even he would beat John McCain.

The Republicians know they are going to lose the White House, they just hate to see the most intelligent, capable and experienced Democratic future President Hillary Clinton win.

Anyone but Hillary is their mantra, those destroyers of the American way of life!

Each time the Republicians go to the White House they ruin the economy. In the last forty years they have hurt the American people and yet they are voted back almost every 8 years.. Wake Up People!

Vote Hillary R Clinton into the White House and start rebuilding again!

It's not too late to get Ron Paul into office. He wants the government out of the publics business.And to bring my family home. They cant stand Bush and everyone wants that mini-me McCain

I don't think he should endorse anyone. It would be great if whoever is our next president would make Al Gore the head of our environment task force.

Some people will tell you that it cannot happen, that it is impossible, or that the future has not happened yet. But I tell you, if you follow me, that we can make change happen, that we can change for hope as long as we continue to hope for change. Enthusiasm is as easy as a bridge.

Is Obama so vague because he does not want to ever take stands that might alienate potential voters, or does he simply lack the knowledge to get into details about anything?

EricTX please tell me what has Obama done for Latinos. What is his record, he talks about change, please tell me what change. Obama is not the first to run on just change, how do you think he's going to do this with Kennedy and Kerry, are they new kids on the block!!! Dont be stupid hes the one that will say anything to get elected. Gore is right to stay out of it

What difference would that make? Look how great Kerry and Kennedy did for Obama. All Hillary needs is the other loser to endorse her and the repubs will get the whitehouse again for sure. The only endorsement Hillary needs is in the form of votes! Lets see if Obama waffles on the 'super' delegate counts when he turns up on the losing side of the both the popular vote as well as the state allotted delegates! Go Florida and Go Michigan!!! Go Hillary

I hope the next CNN democratic debate will not be moderated by Wolfe Blitzer. At this critical juncture what we need is not drama and setting up questions purely meant to score points rather than to clarify important issues.

I hope John King will be given the chance as he seems to be the most matured and knowledgeable of the bunch.

C'mon Al, have some balls for a change and endore the better candidate, Obama. the Clintons did you no favors when you were running. Step up and endorse Obama.

To ready4Hillary

I understand your point about the Republican Attack Machine and how formidable it is. However I hope you can see how Barack has already made a change in the way politics can be changed. He raises the bar in politics and the clearest example of this is in how he has forced Hillary to run a less demonizing campaign. She would be out there attacking if she could. Bill would be out there doing exactly what he did in South Carolina. Hillary is changing (getting better) because of the level of decency Barack commands. When Obama gets the nomination, and the Republicans attack him he'll be able to handle it. Don't worry. He's in a much different position because he is an honest person (something the Clintons are not) so the playing field is much different. Much different. OBAMA 08.

Also, just to spite McCain, Al Gore should endorse Mitt Romney

Who really cares what Al Gore thinks, nobody really cares about his whacky point of view on many issues.

You have to ask youself this question is this country better off then it was 25 years ago the answer is no. close to every 20 years a figure comes to the stage for change. jfk did it in the 60's ronald reagan did it in the 80's now looks who's on that stage now, a fresh face is what this country needs to motivate it 'grab the chance it's here now.

He is the man.

By the way the media hyped "change" and "hope" are just two words. We need more words to get a sense of them. Chage to WHAT?-wrong direction?
Hope for WHAT?-a worse America? Don't be fooled so easily, stakes are too high now.

you need to read the news hillary did not force her out she sent a letter and resigned read it

hillary is the woman

I hope this is true.

I think all the prominent Dems should've remained neutral, then rallied around the nominee.

I heard that he voted for Hillary in Tennessee that is why she won by double digit. that loser, if he won his home estate Tennessee it wouldn't the Bush would have been history. After all, it doesn't matter if he endorsed or not I would not change my mind so is everybody else. Make your mind and stick to it that reflects who you are. don't just go left a right by the media machine.

This is worse than a yahoo chat room with two people with 50 Aliases.They even answer each others questions on this blog.Al stinks like the rest of the nominees in both parties.They are all owned by special interests.I wont vote for the lesser of two evils and that is what they want us all to do.Carl Rove,are you on here too?

Gore is holding out but will endorse HILLARY. I'm from SOUTH TEXAS and the LATINOS are gearing up to vote for HILLARY by the numbers.......GO! HILLARY GO! Obama has no substance nor experience....HILLARY DOES!

What have I have to do to make a comment. Every comment I make said your comment is awaiting comment..There has been quite a few.

People have to realize America can be seen as a paradise...

Recently Sarkozy (french president) wasnt allowed to go to some very conservative country, i believe because he wasnt married yet to Carla Bruni and planned on taking her for a national presidential trip?

What would YOU do if you were Hillary visiting foreign countries who do not allow women unfortunately to sit with Men, let alone stand with them as the president of the most powerful country in the worls?

LATINOS LOVE HILLARY

She is the best, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! experiencia talk

neither individual has

NOT

"neither individuals have"

Go Hillary, Endoresments are for the birds anyway. We all are 18 and over and should be able to research and find out what each person brings to the race, we don't need famous people telling us what they think.

I think all endorsements are silly, and for Obama I would think he would agree (Ted Kennedy is not a upstanding citizen and I'm a hard core democrat)

Democrats are reluctant to endorse Senator Clinton because the momentum is Senator's Obama favor. However, I think this is a mistake because I don't believe that Senator Obama can win against the Republican in the fall.

In addition, I don't think Opera or the Kennedy's should have endorsed Obama. They should have remained nuetral. This could come back to haunt the Democratic Party.

Endorsements by politicians who don't have the trust of the voters simply do more harm than good ; voters will vote for senator Hillary Clinton because they trust her and because they believe in her qualifications and her performances . Hillary , You have my vote !

In regards to the comment that Clinton cost Gore the election. That is plain wrong. Clinton's popularity was very high when he left. Many scholars actually say that one of the major mistakes Gore made in his campaign was to distance himself so much from Clinton, and that if he didnt do so he could have won the Presidency. So think before you state that Clinton cost Gore the Presidency.
Americans favored Clinton well over 60+ percent.

Also, Hilary isnt more of the same same. Maybe the same from the Clinton years. Many jobs, balanced budget, global politics that were right, etc etc.

People are forgetting that life under Clinton wasnt that bad because they have been tained by 8 years of Bush.

Republican War Machine will play this, in a repeating, fast-paced anti-Hillary campaign, if by some miracle she gets the nomination:

"my husband never did well in caucus states either," Clinton argued that caucuses are "primarily dominated by activists" and that "they don't represent the electorate, we know that."

And the Democratic voters whom she had offended will have their say, in Nov then against her and a party that has put her name forward as its Nominee.

Ola, Ola. I am celebrating. Hello, President McCain. It is an Honor to serve you, Mr. President.

Bravo Kiki, I agree with you..... she is a disgrace...

Hillary is a panderer and will use Latinos as long as it suits her needs, no more. For a "liberated" woman, she sure seems to be running on her husbands reputation with Latinos. I will vote Obama

So he's not stupid like I thought he was................. Al Gore
Let's hope he sticks to that.... and Hillary and Obama can pack there bags and go back to Washington, and workaren't they supposed to working now...., I thought they were Senators?????? are they being paid by us taxpayers, while they are campaigning....

I forgot we have so much $$$$$ to pay them.....

Sen. Clinton has already been attack by the GOP attack machine and is still standing strong against John McCain, Clinton has weathered the storm. Sen Obama has never been opposed by the GOP attack machine,what in the world will happen if Sen. Obama gets the nomination ,he will be faced with the GOP attack machine and then we can all watch his polls fall faster than they rose and the certainty is that his negatives will rise.As an un-challenged candidate he will not stand the storm.

Well, truth be told ..... If Obama wins I am voting McCain or I hope she will run independent. I am Democrat and Black but this time I sure do know what I am doing.

Gore can hold his endorsement and can play mediator and elder statesmen...for now.
If it gets down to a deadlocked convention, he can step forward and help tip it one way or the other. It is wise for him to "speak softly and carry a big stick "..which would make a later, well-timed announcement or suggestion much more important.

Mr Eric, you definitely have a right to your opinion. I just want to call to your attention that hispanics/latinos,blacks, whites appreciate the help they have received while President Clinton was in office, and what Hillary has worked so hard for.

No Way will our community vote for Mr Obama

Best Wishes to you, Sir

Gore might be like me and trying to figure out how Obama really feels about different issues.

Please, Al, run for the good of the country.

Al Gore is doing the right thing, the wise thing. I hope John Edwards will do the same.

I completely respect Gore and his right to wait. Ultimately, Clinton will win. GO HILLARY!!!!

Latinos love Clinton! (no love for Obama here)

So he's not stupid like I thought he was!!!!!!!!! Let's hope he keeps up the gppd work....

Bye Bye Hillary and Obama

Hillary is a politician. Obama is a movement! A movement, a moment on our society capable of great change and progress. Forget the endorsments and superdelegates. Lets get this over with so we can gear up for McCain and the November election. Please vote for the candidate that is truly sincere and hasn't sold out to Washington. Please cast your vote for OBAMA!!!

Hey Eric, I know ur an Obama surrogate trying to win Hispanic votes. That's dirty!
I'm a Hillary supporter to the End! I'm Jewish and don't care is she has any Jewish people working on her staff. I'm looking at how caring, well focused and Very well Qualified! Hillary '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Al is a loser, a has been, could not win his OWN state-who cates what he thinks?

My opinion of Al Gore has just risen to the highest levels.

It is the honorable thing to do. I have some much respect for him at this moment that right now he has a lot to be proud of. In fact he is and will stay one of the most respected elders of the party by making the right choice.

This shows he has much integrity. He is thinking of the country and not himself.

He has accomplished much in his lifetime and his family should be very proud of him. I certainly am. It is so refreshing to see someone genuinely respect this country.

BTW, your my hero Mr. Gore.

To tell you the truth, global warming is, and really should be considered the most prominent issue in the current administration, and even more so in the next.

I am young voter, and the issue of global warming is really what got me motivated to participate in politics.

Al Gore, this is for you.

You had a freakin responsibility to run in this election, no doubt, you would have won. Your the only person in this country with enough devotion to the issue who has enough power to actually change(i said it, maybe i should run ) our country for the better. You had the power to make this country energy independent, and to make this country clean. No more petty wars, and no more BLOOD FOR OIL.
Going beyond our nation, global warming is a grave danger to the whole world. Just think our great country could have really done its part to save the world, and Mr. Gore, you could have done yours.

"I don't like Obama because he's not as experienced and I don't think he has family values. He's a millionaire and yet allows his grandmother to live in poverty.
I don't share the same values with him."Girl Power

I have grown tired of reading these blogs because of constant and repeated lies like the above. When will it end. I haven't seen a Hillary supporter say one completely accurate or truly damaging thing about Obama yet. Makes you wonder what the problem really is.

Perhaps Gore should have run again. He's certainly more experienced than either of the two he won't endorse, and I wouldn't endorse them myself. Obama' doesn't have a clue about anything, because he lives in La La Land. And Hillary is far too divisive and disliked to be President.
Vote for a Democrat and U.S. Citizens will be paying much higher taxes immediately .....all in the name of Free Government Programs: Free Health Care, Free School, Free College, Free....Free....Free.... It's Not Free!.

'man-made' global warming is the biggest crock of crap that the counter-culture has ever tried to get over on the voting consumer

Chris, Middletown, CT, it's people like you who will always make a place in the world for those in denial. The great thing about sheep like you is that all one has to do is come up with some to be irresponsible and you follow. This is how Republicans get elected.

I bet they are glad he won't endorse them

I'm an Obama activist and i think what he did was wise.
Best to stay out of it and see how things develop.
I will hold my nose and vote for HRC if she is the nominee,
but i doubt that will happen since she's adopted being a looser like her fellow New Yorker Gulliani.
She was supposed to be the Nominee by now, how she lost Missouri,Conneticut and Deleware is just astonishing.

Niether want to be endorsed by Pelosi or Reid. The Speaker and Leader are poor examples for the Democratic base. I'd probably vote for the one NOT endorsed by Pelosi and Reid. Perhaps endorsement is off the table. Haha.

You know, you look at all the comments made here, many of which are based on rumors and nothing else, and you better understand why the prestige of America has declined to where it is currently. Fact is, many people of voting age haven't traditionally bothered, and of those who do, many of them shouldn't be allowed to cast a vote that would determine anything other than this season's winner of American Idol.

"Barack Obama's favorite color is blue, so I'm not voting for him if he wins the nomination!" This is the level of stupidity far too many people who vote are mired in, and so I highly doubt that whomever is chosen as the nominee of either party will ever be the right person for the actual tasks that lie ahead, either now or at any point in the foreseeable future. Barack speaks of hope, and I can appreciate that, but I'm a realist by nature... Idiots abound.

1) Vivian... get a life, there are plenty of politicans in this country to did something "stupid" when they were young.. I'm sure you did, too!

2) Good for Gore, I agree... the superdelegates should follow his lead. How about something new... how about the people decide the candidate, wouldn't that be a nifty idea...

Because most polls show that Hillary supporters usually lack a college education Michael. So unless you think the polls are total garbage you should probably take a look at it for yourself. Poll questions like this are generally correct.

I'd really like to see Gore support Obama but its not going to happen because Gore doesn't gain any power or anything else by doing this now. - sadly he is as power hungry as every other politician and once a politician always a politician.

I do not understand the "experience' Ms. Clinton has. My husband is a truck driver, doesn't mean I can drive one. I definitely would not want my surgeon's wife to perform any operation of me. Ms. Clinton seems to have more exposure to politics but that does not equal experience.

Hi,
I'm Canadian and have followed the US election day and night. I am so interested in the same way I follow every convention which is held on one long weekend plus a day or two to elect the leader of the party. If that party wins they're automatically the Prime Minister. Sounds like a reasonable affair. In the states it's a whole different deal. I like Huckabee and will still like him although Mc Cain's the man, not a happy situation with the party. On the Democratic side I am taken with a black man and a woman which is phenominal. That is something to be proud of as a country. Either way it's great but I'm a Hillary supporter. I'll be focused right up to and including the next three weeks. Then there's the debate and the superdelegates....

HILLARY !!!!!

The real issue is the negative coverage of Clinton by CNN. They take the smallest anti Hillary news and make it a headline. When it comes to Clinton every day is a slow news day for CNN.

This article is such a crock. He'll endorse Obama, and it's coming soon.

Forget about the hype and really take a hard look at Sen. Obama. Does he really look like someone you would be proud to call the president of the United States? I don't think that he has it. If it ended up being an election between him and Sen McCain it is my personal belief that the Republicans would win. It isn't that I don't like the man. The idea of a black president is great but not this man, not yet. Maybe he needs another eight years. He does not strike me as the patriarch of a nation. He is more like the older brother. I believe that the world is watching and unfortunately for Obama if elected will have trouble being taken seriously by the international community. It is time for America to be pragmatic not reckless.

Gore is a true statesman – shows this again and again.

Sigh... i wish my beloved Al was running. But since such is not to occur anytime soon, or ever for that matter, I must relinquish my faith to Barack. My hope is that he make Al Secretary of the Interior. Slowly but surely, we WILL restore Democracy. Speaking of, can we eliminate these super-delegates. To me its completely undemocratic. Why should ex preseidents, vice presidents and the such hold any more power over who is going to be the presidential nominee than the rest of us. WE THE PEOPLE...................................................!

Eric, I live in Texas and I am latino. I think that B.Obama will do well in the Austin, Tx area. It's liberal there due to the university. The rest of Texas, I think will go to H. Clinton. But, we'll see. I have always and will always vote Republican. Alot of latinos are conservative, but they just don't don't realize it. Mitt Romney is my candidate. Go Romney!!!

No matter what people say, Hillary is the best candidate for our President, she is ready to resolve the problems on day one. Obama is not ready, he is rolling the dice, he needs to learn more about leader's qualification, may be in 2016?

Hillary's decision to MOVE her staff around is really her business and it has nothing to do with race. I am one of the many people that was suspose to be working in primary states and had airline tickets but never received a call from Solis so I did not go. This RACE thing has totally gotten out of hand. Our neighborhood has WHITE POWER and BLACK POWER signs that had to be taken down. Obama is going after black voters that have registered before....the Clintons have done more for blacks and latinos than any other President., but they are now switching to a black man....this race has divided the country into two colors again....I thought that we had moved forward.....what a shame. GO HILLARY

* historically high levels of CO2 and globally warm temperature of the Carboniferous period as compared to the rest of the periods on the geological time scale.

Al Gore invented global warming. And the superdelegates.

You people claiming that Gore should have been president make me laugh. He is a blooming joke now as he was before as Clintons lackey. A man who when he ran for president did not even win his home state. Let him play with his little endeavor about the climate but keep him out of politics.

Seriously, Gore has a point.

The candidates (espcially Obama) need to express what they stand for....seriously, enough of the BS for the sake of media ratings.

Gore doen't want to unite anything, he wants to stay neutral. He should have backed Hillary, becasue the Clintons endorsed Gore when he was running. I guess Gore is a big deal now, who has forgotten who stood next to him.
I guess only in time of need do we find out how things really are with people we think may support us.

Shame on Gore!!!

Shame on Gore, Clinton was there when he needed him...

Good for Gore...

Let these two duke it out. This is helping America grow believe it or not. We are growing to the occasion for the next generation of issues affecting our country.

But there can only be one winner.

Hillary 2008!

To Chris from CT...your post doesn't make sense grammatically, which leads me to believe it doesn't make sense logically either. Way to come and bash a news story that highlights the disparity between endorsements by bringing in irrelevant data that leads to a completely different argument.

As for Gore not choosing a candidate to endorse, this is politically a smart move. He can further his environmental agenda by being on the good side of whoever is in office this way.

I'm voting for Obama. As a college student, I am tired of seeing my friends doing repeated tours in Iraq. I am sick of Hillary. I don't like her, her rhetoric or her antics. She seems fake, false, and insecure. At least Obama can back up his anti-war statements. Experience is garbage when you don't know how to utilize it properly.

Who in the hell cares who Gore endorses! His endorsement carries no weight at all!

OYEN Latinos!

I said it before Navarette said it!

"The Hispanic vote has always been wide open. , the Pew Hispanic Center found that Hillary Clinton had the support of 59 percent. Barack Obama was backed by 15 percent.

Clinton doesn't deserve that level of support from Hispanics,

Chips and guacamole, anyone? " Porque Clinton?

Jules–

Obama has repeatedly told people that change requires sacrifice, that solving our problems won't be easy, and that some things will require higher taxes, re-training, investment...

Al Gore won't take a position....oh no, whatever shall we do.

Who cares what the self-proclaimed 'inventor of the internet' thinks? Logic says he'd stick with the Clinton's, except for the fact that Billy pretty much put the kibash on any future Gore Presidency with his indiscretions during the latter part of the final term of Clinton/Gore. Emotion says he gives the Clinton machine the Heisman and endorses Obama, except he can't risk the access he'd lose if Hillary possibly makes it to the oval office. Whatever is Al to do?

The Obama machine is rolling and won't be stopped.

Al Gore?......hahahahahahahaha

Better, run yourself Mr. Gore and be the endorsee by somebody else rather than the endorser for either of the "unwinnable" candidates. Does America or even the world want a replica of a tragic President like Bush ? This is likely to happen given the unfolding situation in the race. Why can't the Democrats find a "winnable" candidate vs a very-low-credibility Republican one ? And why is the "winnable" candidate reluctant in throwing his hat (even as an Independent) into the Presidential ring ?

Gore is of course leaning for Obama.

Why? Because he worked with both Bill and Hillary, and yet, he is not endorsing them!

I am experiencing big concerns here in the south. If Obama wins the nomination, I am afraid McCain will carry most of the south. This includes once again Florida.
Voting for a woman here was tough enough, a black is a very hard sell. Obama needs to carry every large state up north and California. If McCain was smart, he would put a conservative hispanic from Florida on the ballot as VP. I am also hearing that the Clinton Foundation is moving its headquarters to Little Rock. should Hillary lose. No reason to stay in New York.

Remember all the States that Obama won over the weekend will end up in the Republican column. They always have. Texan's may go for a women, they voted for Ann Richards for Governor. I do not think they will go for Obama. I was precinct chair in Austinand Latino may offset the College vote. To close to call.

It might be a stretch to unequivocally call Gore the "most prominent Democrat yet " to endorse. Let's not forget Edwards.

Alcore is trying to stop CO2 now. he is now busy. so whenever he gets time, he will come and say, hey guys i could not reduce Co2 so i want politics again. then he will see which candidate is producing more CO2. he will not endorese CO2 producing candidate. so now it is time to figure out who is producing more CO2. Obama or Hillary or say Billary?

CNN has all but endorsed Obama. They constantly show him and defend him while they misquote and criticize Clinton. What ever happened to fair and balanced reporting?

That should be President Al Gore.

We love you Gore!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Thomas, congratulations on regurgitating the single most ignorant fashionable "line" going around these days! Clinton and Obama both want to pay for health care by repealing W's tax cuts, getting out of Iraq, and choice. McCain wants to cut SPENDING to pay for health care, consider another 100 years in Iraq, and take away choice. It's moronic to support him if you support either of them.

Way to go with the logical thinking, pal. Hope you enjoy the justices Papa John appoints.

Idiot.

Hillary is the only candidate to have mentioned global warming and ideas she has to start fixing the problem. Gore will endorse her but only when it matters the most. At the end of the race when both come up short.

Chris in Ct:

I completely agree with what you wrote. You hit it so completely on the head. When it comes to Al, it's like the fairy tale of the "Emperor's New Clothes." Let's nod in 'lock-step' and then we'll all look and sound so sophisticated eventho there's absolutely nothing there .

You wrote:
He can't endorse….he's far too busy with this global warming deal…and telling everyone its caused by humans…without explaining how it was far warmer thousands of years ago….(and far colder too) – it takes a man like Al Gore to explain why man-made CO2 has caused our planet to warm 1 degree in 100 years….and why even on his own charts does the heat rise first….then CO2 level after…(funny…cause and effect work differently in Al Gores world)

you see people Al's busy now…

It would have been great if Gore had endorsed Obama but he really is doing the smart thing and elevating himself in the process. Elder statesman is a good place to be. Bill Clinton had that sort of reputation with his Foundation and role at Davos until he wrecked it. Gore should have been president. He's the only one I wouldn't mind Obama being VP for.

Al Gore is a gutless wonder. He probably is hoping he gets drafted to be the nominee instead of billary or obama.

Why won't he endorse billary, he was their VP?????????

His global warming thesis and nobel prize are complete frauds.

"With" is a preposition and so demands the objective case.

Therefore: "Gore will want to work closely with whomever wins the nomination..."
is correct. Why is it so difficult for journalists to write English correctly?

To EricTx:

Solis Doyle is STILL a senior advisor w/ Hillary – not fired like you said.

The campaign needed a new look, so it's a change in managers. Just like in baseball. My thinking is you don't know the facts, just another Obama supporter and Hillary hater, so you post your comments without finding out the facts.

HRC has been and is the best friend for Latinos – her past record shows that. What has Obama EVER done for Latinos? You know why there is NO answer to that question? He has NO RECORD. Talk is very cheap.

Gore's role should be marginalized. What office does he even hold, except that of radical environmentalist? Additionally, why is this even a story? Was today, "Pick the random person who still hasn't made an endorsement yet DAY?" What is the significance of mentioning Gore? WHY WHY WHY?!?!

Obama is the Walter Mondale of 2008. The most Liberal member of the Senate 2007. Unelectable in a General Election. I think John McCain is whistling "Hail to the Chief". God help us all. Of course I blame the stupid latte liberals and college students with too much time on their hands. Sheesh, if you thought a fighter pilot, MBA, business owner, CEO, son of a President and former coke-head was poorly qualified for this job, just imagine a coke-head academic from Illinois.

Leave a mark, worth leaving! Or step out of the LImeLight...

Remember! An old Charlie Chaplin movie.... There was another Called

"The Kid"

Promises you can't Keep, Die with you Obama!!!!!!!!!!

Just another Granddad....

I'm a latino and I anm shock that the media says that we won't support a black candidate. Well you know there are a lot of latinos that are moreno (black) and we all get along. Just look at all of the latino baseball players that are moreno. We should not let the media drive a wedge between us and blacks especially when we have morenos that are part of la cultura latina. That's what they want to do. We are all Americans and should unite against the forces that continue to create these non- issues.

Every time I see Al Gore's picture, I think of how different our country and world would be, had he been our President for the last 7 years. I am also reminded of Bill Clinton's recklessness that cost Al Gore the election. George Bush ran on bringing "honor and dignity "to the WH. It is a shame!

Someone needs to be the "Statesman" within the Democratic party. Clearly it can't be Ted Kennedy or Bill Clinton, so the job falls to Al Gore. He's up to the task.

Good. He is a decent and experienced person, and I trust that he will act in an appropriate manner.................meaning he will set aside his own personal interests (however noble they are) and try to reflect the wishes of the voting public. He's owes no one anything, and has been through this process and understands the consequences of judgment based solely on politics of self interest and not politics for the greater good.

I only hope that the superdelegates do the same. The made a mess of the Gary Hart/Walter Mondale race,....I hope they've learned from their mistake.

if only endorment gets people to the white house it would have mattered most.

Jules, have you even bothered to listen to Obama's speeches or read his stances on his website. Just one example of asking what we can do for our country is his way for youth to qualify for affordable college: by helping in community service.

Al Gore? Clintons; running mate. Still Al is running? He wrote a book!!!!!!!!!

Fiction!!! But still he's running, in the other direction from most....

Where would he he be today... Without Bill Clinton.... Just another

Dreamer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone has to be the moderator.

Al Gore will not let the nomination process become Florida 2000. He is not going to stand by while a candidate with less actual popular votes (& in this case far less states won) take the nomination on the decision of a few.

But honestly, the Clintons are smart people I may take a while, and maybe even even a private intervention from a former subordinate, but they will eventually drop out if thing continue this way. If things do turn around then I'm sure that Obama will do the same.

Even Romney got the picture...

@ Jules
"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" is exactly the attitude that Obama seeks from people. He expects hard work, not complacency.

Yes go Al you are right in not endorsing anyone, I wish all those who had endorsed now would have waited until the convention.

Al Gore is doing the right thing. The largest number of voters should make up their minds unencumbered by what the upper echelons of the party think.

Given the close nature of the race, neither candidate will get the required 2,025 delegates. Therefore, at an appropriate time, probably after the Penn Primary, he and other members of the party's leadership, should use whatever influence they have to pursuade the candidate that is trailing to throw the towel in for the good of the party.

Gore is such a smart man by remaining neutral. But who knows??? Maybe he's waiting to see who will get the nomination before he decides to run as a third party candidate. He and Hillary has personal and business ties that go WAYYYYY back while Obama is just a fellow Dem that he respects. I think (or hope) that if Hillary gets the nomination then he will endorse her. But if Obama gets it then he will run as a third party candidate. Then my vote goes to AL GORE!!! Again.

Only in a perfect world '08

In a way it's good that Al stays out of the race and allow the chips to fall as they may because things might turn out a lot different than most people think especially with the latino vote so let Clinton and Obama run their race and may the best Man or Woman win and I will support either one.

Okay, Al. As long as you stay away from the deep end, and don't endorse Nader.

Chicken wimp.
The Gores hate the Clintons.
He's waiting to see if Obama gets ahead and then will endorse him.
There are so many naive people out there.

Hey guys, for all of you who stalk Gore news in order to write what you think is the truth....just listen for a second....none of you are climate scientists, or have probably even spoke to one...Gore knows what he is talking about because he used an objective view to see what the scientists had to say and took their message to a greater audience. And since when did the Nobel Peace Prize not go to someone who went out and persuaded a lot of people to listen to the truth (Martin Luther King? anybody???)

By the way, if Gore stays out of the fray, he might have a good chance of being the presenter of the nomination at the Convention–doing the elder statesman thing...its really best if he stays out of it until the party is united behind a candidate.

thomas, it's McCain. You're informed opinion is greatly appreciated.

Oh, the "inventor of the internet" and Global Warming know it all.........................how comical. Typical Liberal (aka Socialist) propaganda. A Gore endorsement is meaningless.

Gore is too busy kissing up the the Hollywood elite............

Oh and the dumb bunny eric tx who says that Hillary fired their rep...gee she is strong with all the stuff she does....since she has so much power in her two hands already we should just make her the first WOMAN DICTATOR.

Look at his face.
Maybe he's thinking, "Hmmn.. between these 2, I should endorse McCain."

Gore continues to display integrity. It's a shame we couldn't have had that in the presidency for the past seven years.

Good for him. He probably figures that if he remains on good terms with both canidates, he can have an important say in enviromental policy in the winner's administration.

The Democratic party has to look further ahead and realize that, regardless of who becomes their nominee, it must come together to ensure that they are the party who can win and begin to repair the damage and the injustices of the last 8 years. In a few months, none of the speculation, emotion, endorsements or lack of endorsements of this primary season will matter – the party must have one voice representing all that should change come November. And there's plenty that needs to change. Save the big guns for when it matters!

I love Gore & I hope he's voting Obama!!

Mr Gore,
You did the right thing by not endorsing either Hillary or Obama, I wonder for what purposes did Ted and Kerry did for Obama. VP post.? Both of them are dreaming.
Once again good job Mr Gore.

C'mon Al, If you had asked for Bill Clinton's help you would have been President in spite of ms. Harris and the Supreme Court. You let your country down hard then ,and now you are doing it again. Man you gotta move, wake up, you know better than anyone what is at stake here. You are gonna lose me Al, forever, and a lot of other Democrats.
Hillary is our only option, she can handle this mess we are in, the only one that can. Smooth talk wears thin quickly. Just do it Al.

Typical of this phony coward, behind the scenes he and his campaign in 2000 were trying to get the military vote suppressed as he knew it woulf have favored Bush, he will however come out later like he or his word actually mean something and endorse whomever gets the nomination.

Just his not endorsing Hillarity means he exacts a little revenge on these two, but he could have shown some real guts and endorsed Obama.

Not him though, he is too busy worrying about our mean temperature going up one whole degree in a 100 years and running around in gas guzzling, ozone depleting jets, while collecting "fees" and laughing all the way to the bank.

I am old enough to remember the 70's when the green geniuses big fight was because we were fighting global cooling??????

LOLOLOL!!!! Bush is so worried about his legacy....

THIS is his legacy:

WORST President we ever had – he ranks like #50 out of 44 or 45 candidates (I confess I don't know)

Let's see – who was worse? Maybe Hoover, maybe Nixon

Nah, the Bushmeister has those two losers beat

Notice something? The three bottom ones are all Republicans

LOL! Hoover and Nixon were the bottom of the barrel

Bush is UNDER the barrel

Gore should not be in the business of endorsing candidates. If he was running, he would have gotten my independent vote

I think we should elect Gore president!! ....oh yeah, we already did that....

Solis Doyle ran the company finances into the ground. She had to demote her.

Superdelegates should hold of until the conference and see who has won the most PLEDGED Delegates, because they would not dare flock to the person that finishes second. It would bring a good argument for the repubs if they did.

Very frankly , I think that endorsements by politicians who are close to their retirement or waiting to retire have only a symbolic value ; the real and valuable endorsement should come from the american people who come to the voting booths . I voted for senator Hillary Clinton in the California primay and I will vote for her in the national election ./.

I think it's a wise decision not to endorse either Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama. The Democratic party needs somesone like Al Gore to be the middle man and calm people down into the right direction! He must be the one who, if it comes to the point to tell his party that the votes in Florida and Michigan must count at the convention because if they don't ,at least Florida will be lost with all it's electorate votes in the general election, it can't be a second time that the votes in Florida are dismissed by Obama supporters. Al Gore won't allow that!

Where is the global warming? I'm freezing?????????

I'd love it if Gore aligned himself with Obama...if that were the case I hope he would push an environmental agenda...there's nothing good to come in the future if we cant figure out a way to sustain ourselves...Gore seems to be the only one that's trying to move people into understanding that.

Obama '08

Hillary has her reasons to fire someone on her staff, and not because of that I'm going to change my mind and vote for Obama, if you support a candidate it has to be all the way and not using excuses to act otherwise. Yes we latinos need to come together and vote for what we believe and we believe in Hillary!

If Obama wins the vote,don't let them do to him what they did to you.

Obama / Gore sounds great to me.

Obama/Gore sounds good to me.

who cares!

Tomorrow I'll vote in the VA primary. If there is a write-in area I'll vote for Al. Why? Because it is my way of telling Obama and Bill, excuse me I should say Hillary, to cool it before your bickering hands victory to the Repubs. This country can't take 4 more years of them.

*********ATTENTION ALL TEXANS!!!!************

OBAMA is the candidate for ALL AMERICANS!!!

Vote for real change not just for whats convenient
during an election year like so many of the "status
quo" candidates who will say anything and do
anything to get elected! *****VOTE OBAMA!!!*****

Who cares what this idiot thinks anyway. Nut job!

I dont think that "ERIC TX" is Hispanic. As a matter of fact, I dont even think that "ERIC TX" is from Texas. She made Solis Doyle her Senior Advisor. Enough said.

Waiting for Goredot.

Cheers for Gore!
We really need him (desperately!) in this election.

EricTx For Latinos, Hillary is your only choice. Obama is surpported by black. So, he'll never let Latinos grab jobs from black. No way.

I could care les!!!!

Why does everyone say the democratic party is divided? Most democrats would be content whether it is Obama or Clinton, they just have a choice. Why is this a bad thing? You clearly do not see lines being drawn in the sand like you do with the republicans.

Where the democratic party is going to get into trouble is if it comes down to the superdelegates and the candidate with fewer elected delegates is handed the nomination. As it is now, Obama is solidly beating Clinton on the elected vote, but these "super"delegates are giving Clinton a slight lead overall. The democrats need to let the votes come in, and then mediate between the two of them to nominate the leading vote getter before the superdelegates have any say...this is where Gore comes in.

Who cares. Someone remind him to pay his electric bill this month.

That's probably most sensible thing that Gore could do. This race could spin out of control with acrimony between camps. Cooler heads need to prevail upon both sides to handle issues in a rational way so that the Democratic Party can win in November.

Gore should have been president, seeing as HE DID invent the internet I'm using right now.

Well at least he's smart enough not to jump onto the hot air balloon of Obummer's...

When he's ready, he'll endorse the only candidate that matters...and that's

HILLARY CLINTON!

anyone who says if one person wins the dem. nomination, then they're voting for McCain is a fool. He'll have us in the war for the next 10 years. That's his bread and butter, all he knows is war. Let Hillary go with "experience" against McCain and she'll be crushed, because the man has 45 years worth of "experience". Someone much younger and that brings some fresh air to the political process should be the obvious choice. Unlike Gore and Kerry, Obama is making people care about this election and that's why he'll win. Diddy had the right idea with the whole "Vote or Die" thing, too bad he was four years early, when no one cared about Kerry because he was boring us to death.

Good man, Gore.

And as for that fool talking about Latino unity behind Obama, go away. That has no place here.

Who cares what al thinks

I like Al Gore, but he wasn't brave or loyal enough to let Bill Clinton campaign with and for him in the 2000 election, and it appears he's still a coward.

Some of our finest citizens wouldn't be dead, or physically or mentally disabled if more people like Obama would have questioned and opposed this ridiculously unnecessary war.

What ever happened to integrity and courage?

But, that's allright, Mr. Al Gore and Mr. John Edwards. Obama appears to be doing just fine without your endorsements.

It seems now, we all are having to name our 'race' –hmmm wonder why? Oh yeah, since Al Sharpton from Obama's camp started all that drama back last month.

anyway, as a latina, I respect Al Gore and can appreciate his thinking as to not endorse anyone at this time.

Thanks Gore!

HILLARY 2008
Laura in TX

I really like and admire Al Gore and I do believe the Kennedy endorsement of OBAMA will help him with some voters. However, I just read your article on superdelegates and how they work. I'm convinced now more than ever, that our electoral system should be abolished. If Hillary wins because she got more superdelegates than OBAMA, then the people didn't choose her. (or vice-versa) We have already put one president in office the people didn't vote for. (Bush!)
In the old days, delegates traveled by horse and carriage to cast their votes. I think we have achieved enough technology to let the people decide for themselves!

Everyone is wondering who should be Obama's VP if he wins... I say Al Gore!

who will al gore vote for in his state election,?

To EricTx:

I'm not sure what this article has to do with Clinton's reorganizing efforts these past few days. Actually, its been in the works for a month now and its no surprise to any and all. Regardless, it has nothing to do with the topic of this article.

However, I find it rather sad that you would find a way to turn this into a racist event. Look at every campaign in history. Candidates are always changing their staff around at a moment's notice, even candidates that are winning. That's a fact of life in the fast changing world of campaigning. Clinton's reorganization has nothing to do with race and for you to seek out a racist issue where none exists is a sad day for everyone.

I can not stand the negative mean spirited divisive and hate filled blogs from the Obama supporters any more.

I will tell all my friends and family that, as a Democrat, I will vote for the Democratic candidate.

But in the privacy of the voting booth, I will cast my vote for McCain, if Clinton in not on the ballot.

I would rather have a moderate republican for 4 years, than reward the mean spirited Obama supporters on all of these blogs.

Perhaps this is what the media wants and that is why they Always run positive articles for Obama and ALways run negative articles about the Clintons, but the Obma supporters merely add fuel to the fire of hate and division–enough.

In my 32 years as a Democrat, I will for the first time ever vote for a Republican–McCain.

And yes, I live in a swing state.

-Anonymous Democrat for Hillary Clinton.

It makes sense - for the party as well as for the two candidates. It makes sense for Gore most of all. As a practical matter there's little chance of Gore ever becoming President of the US. [In many ways, believe it or not, it would be somewhat of a comedown for Gore.] As such, there's no one in either party with nearly as much stature and gravitas as Gore to affect the course of national politics.

Gore for Secretary General of the United Nations!

Thank you for your wisdom on this. We will need an objective person or as close as an objective person as we can get down the line after the dusk settles.

Al Gore is fully aware of how important the pledge deligates are in this race, he also understands it is not about the number of endorsement a candidate receive, nor is it about the number of superdeligates one receive, by remaning neutral in this contest shows the wisdom and respect he has for fairness, because now he will have the clout to make the argument that the superdeligates must fall in step behind the candidate with the most pledged deligates. The Democratic Party can only regain the white house if the people voices are heard, and by not aligning himself with any candidate, Mr.Gore is positioning himself to make the argument that this primary must be decided by the people and not a hand full of insiders.

Good on Gore for keeping his mouth shut– we're all doing such a good job at being divisive within our own party, I'm glad he is too smart to fall for playing a part in it...

Now if only the hordes of blog commenters could follow suit or (not likely) simply use some civility and common courtesy...

Who cares?

Al Gore should be in his final year as president right now. He's the smartest one of all.

I think Al is wise for all the right reasons. With Kerry and Clinton both having made their wishes known, Gore remains the Elder Statesman of the party (along with Jimmy Carter) who can stand back and declare both candidates the worthy persons that they are, then can righteously stand behind the party's choice without having to do a mea culpa.

Very smart man. Oprah and other Kennedys should learn this from him. I would never watch another Oprah show again.

At least Al hasn't forgotten we're still one party!!!

I support Universal Healthcare which is one of the reasons I support Sen. Clinton. Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain both oppose Universal Healthcare. Is that why so many of Sen. Obama's supporters say that they will vote for Sen. McCain if Sen. Obama loses?

Smart move on Gore's part. I dont see why every democrat has to come out and claim one side or another's. Obama is trying to unite, not further divide ...especially in his own party

I wonder what the candidates' plans for the environment are? Oh, that's right, Obama doesn't HAVE plans. He has "change".

Well put Chris from Middletown... of course, without Gore we wouldn't have the Internet, therefore this conversation wouldn't be happening.

Maybe global warming does exist... all the "hot air" coming from the mouths of Democrats/liberal/socialists since a Republican became president can be quite suffocating...

Gore.....snore! Haven't heard him say much about global warming since this bitterly cold winter has caused so much grief.

Who cares what he thinks about anything. Yawn.........

Good for you Al Gore, you are defiantly a man of honor. You will always be my President. Global warming is a very important issue . We can change as much as possible the damage done and at the same time increase our economy .

if neither Clinton nor Obama gets enough delegates, let's have Gore run for president. I think that is a viable option, I'm sure this time around, he will win the general election.

Jules – the brige to the 21st century has fallen in, you know we aren't investing in our infastructure anymore, we are giving tax cuts to the wealthiest 1% by borrowing $ from China.

Eric is an Obama-bot, and certainly no Latino. Eric, you are sin verguenza, and Senator Clinton will prevail in TX, despite your astroturfing.

"Us Latino voters"–my big fat culo, bro. You aren't fooling anyone, except your own stupid self.

I think this was a no-brainer.

Al Gore should have been President but the media push Bush because we needed change and they would rather have beer with!!!!! Now we have the same media pushing Obama. Gore is wise not to chose,I have great repect for him. George Bush not so much and look where his change took us and I hate beer!!!!!!!

Good he didn't endorse " the black sheep"

I completely respect Gore and his right to wait. Ultimately, Clinton will win. GO HILLARY!!!!

Latinos love Clinton! (no love for Obama here)

I agree with Al Gore, He makes a Lot of good sense.... I wish he would have ran for office.... Hopefully he will Make the right call and make the right endorsement.. I have Yet to hear Obama and Hillary speak MORE about the Environment, This Should be a Major Concern for everyone, ONE PLANET, ONE UNIVERSE.. in the Mist of all the Politics this is Something that should not be overlooked..

If he's for Hillary, it would have been a natural thing for him to endorce her weeks ago, and nobody would have raised an eye brow. He's been pressured by Bill for ages I'm sure. His silence speaks louder. I don't buy this 'facilitator' stuff. Gore is for Obama. He's being nice to the Clintons by keeping silent.

Oh brother, what BS. Hey, Al, if you don't have the stones to get off the fence, just shuddup and get out of the way, instead of whimpering this 'elder statesman' whine. The Obama train is leaving the station Al, and you're either on or off.

ONly the truth will set you free. I must have hit the truth nerve. See yall in January 2009 at Obama inaguration.

One thing in the guessing game in this post doesn't make sense. Why would Gore feel the need to wait until there needs to be a deal made when an endorsement would likely make sure that no deal need be made? I think he's just staying neutral because that's what he said he'd do.

BUT he's likely to have less effect in November than right now. A crapload of Democrats love him now, but there's an equal amount of folks in the US that loathe him.

At this point it does not matter who he endorses as well as Edwards. Next month it is over. He isjust one to 700 superdelegates. Gore is not the people. He is one man. With or without him the Obama train moves on.

How is he staying neutral? Oh, please...he hates Hillary and Bill. He’s biding his time; he blames them for his failure to be President. Do you really think he's going to help the Clintons...lol

He should endorse Obama Feb. 29 just before the March primaries...that'll give the Hillary's campaign a twitch! Or if Edwards endorses Hillary, Gore should do so the day after for Obama.

I am a woman, and I can honestly say that Hillary Clinton is a disgrace to all women.

Gore is a man of honor. We need him for president, and maybe, he will get the nomination at the brokered convention. I would like to see Gore/Obama. Obama needs experience before he goes in as president. We can't wait for another person to have training on the job. We need a person to be president from day one with the mess that Bush will leave.

Not what I've heard from reliable sources. I understand Gore will be supporting Obama...maybe later than sooner.

Unlike JFK, Barack Obama is actually saying, "Ask not what Obama can do for your country, but what your country can do for Obama".

So close, yet so far away.

sounds like a good deal at the convention. Gore for president, Obama for VP.

Erictx- CLinton did not fire Patty, she stepped down on her own. I am Hispanic and please don't embarras my race by making up lies just so people can sway to your side. If you feel that way, that is your problem but don't spread rummors.

THE WAY TO GO AL; BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WILL NEVER WIN A GENERAL ELECTION. ANY CANDIDATE WHO SUPPORTS GIVING DRIVERS LICENCES TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WILL NEVER WIN THE VOTES OF MAJORITY OF AMERICANS

Al Gore just can not do any wrong to me. Guy has had vision and has pegged things over and over again. I completely trust him to choose the best course for us.

Gore's not endorsing Clinton says a lot more than his not endorsing Obama. He spent 8 years with her in the white house, shouldn't that translate into some kind of loyalty? Plus, I'm pretty sure that Bill Clinton endorsed Gore's presidential bid, so in the end his refusal to endorse Hillary is, in my opinion, an endorsement of Obama, which I think is the right decision because 28 years of Bush/ Clinton is just too long!

95% of these people seem functionally illiterate. Does CNN really look at these?

Smart man, that Al Gore.

Gore is a microcosm of what is wrong with the democratic party: too much interest in public preening leading to a complete lack of actual effectiveness or respectability. That is why the democratic party will continue to lose to the republicans; say what you will, republicans have an image of being much more decisive. The democrats need someone who is less concerned with getting their ego stroked and more concerned with their ideologies and how they are going to implement them nationwide. Go Obama. Gore and the Clintons (yes, "The Clintons), are part of the old political world of self-righteous demagoguery... we need to vote for Obama before he is as well. It is hard to wash off the political stink of residing in D.C. for too long.

Gore will only endorse himself. And to EricTx, get over your race. Just because the woman is Latino doesn't mean she was doing a great job. I hate people like you who judge everything based on your race. I'm "Latino" as well, but I never vote for or support someone just because they are also Latino. My "race" is just about the least important thing I can think of in my file, while with people like you it's one of the most important.

Wow, there's a politician with some conviction. Just as he waited until the very last second to vote IN FAVOR of the first Persian Gulf War in order to buy favors and gain more power in the US Senate, so too he refuses to endorse the "wrong candidate". Gore is the anti-Churchill.

By the way, how many residents of International Falls, Minnesota are buying Gore's global warming today?

A Clinton/Obama or vice versa ticket would never happen. I agree with the viewer who posted that the egos are too large. The baggage from Clinton would weigh down Obama. Obama would outshine Clinton. These two scenario's cannot mix. Therefore it falls to reason that whom ever gets Edwards as a running mate...seals the deal.

If Hilary gets the nod I vote McCain. If Obama gets the nod...the man has my vote.

Personally, I think it says enough that he's NOT endorsing Clinton. Regardless of my feelings about this contest, I believe that man is utterly brilliant.

Sometimes it actually hurts to think about how the country would have been different if he'd won in 2000.

It's always interesting to see the extremes post on the Ticker. "backstabbing fraud"? Wow Peter, tell us how really feel!

I think Al Gore is doing what he believes is best for the country. Playing this role, he'll be able to provide an endorsement to the Democratic candidate, which should carry more weight closer to election day. The reality is, we could do far worse than either Clinton or Obama (can you say McCain?)

Way to go Al.. very caculating.. you won't endorse until you know for sure who the winner is.. this is really audacious... NOT!

Gore is a man of principle, not like the the the slimey, snake-likre Kerry who would do anything for his own interest.

He has no sense of gratefulness in endorsing Obama when Clinton came out of his operation theatre to campaign for this losing soul.

Al Gore is doing what is best for Al Gore. The message he sends by not endorsing is that it doesn't matter whether Clinton wins or Obama wins....HIS agenda matters more. By not endorsing in this close race, he supports the republican candidate.

I'm shocked ! Al Gore, a democrat with a smiggen of ethics ! Kewl ! ! !

Al Gore you are the man you should have been the 43rd President and Jeb Bush fixed Florida even people from the dead were voting. I have the utmost respect for you.

I wish he would support Obama so we can have more Democratic presidential nominees who ran for the president's office and LOST supporting Barack Hussein Obama!!! He can be with Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

I understand and respect Gore's decision. He secretly wants Obama to have the lead in the pledged delegates category come Summer 2008 at the national convention.

Obama in '08!

Facts and opinions gathered on the net.

Hey Obama please release the following documents please:
- Your Columbia University Transcripts. (has refused so far)
- A list of your friends, roommates and bosses during your time in New York. By the way this is required for a security clearance. (has refused so far)
- Documents regarding your time in the Illinois Senate. (Obama refused and now says the documents were lost)
- The documents concerning your house purchase and the purchase of the lot next door and the subsequent purchase of part of that lot by you.
- A document showing how you handled the "gift" from Rezcko on your house purchase. (If not on your tax return during the year you purchased your house then you have violated federal law?
- A list of the people who have bundled your contributions, including any money from overseas sources.
- A transcript of the conversations that you had as a sitting U.S. Senator with Railla Odinga while he was running for the presidency of foreign government( Kenya).
- An explanation of your wherabouts during the period Nov 3 through Nov 8, 1999, while a State Senator from Illinois.
It seems lots of folks make judgment without researhing information first. Senator Clinton made lots of money on her book...and is still recieving royalties. She was paid over 8 million and certainly has other resources. The deal with the uranium mine...if you had done your research..would have shown President Clinton said ..no..to any involvment. That is the part the press doesnt tell. Check out Media Matters. I dont think most of Hillary's supporters realized she was short of money...and once they knew...the donations came in. Senator Obama asks for donations all the time. Senator Clinton and her husband never recieved any money from Rezko. Senator Obama's main contributor from the beginning of his career has been Rezko. Rezko also has close ties with Auchi...who has been found guilty by of deals relating to nuclear plants in Iraq. That makes Obama three times removed from that situation. Auchi is the reason Rezko is in jail now...due to flight risk. Check sites out about Rezko. Rezko also contributed funds to George W Bush. You can say...well...Clintons' had Hue. Some differences....Hue got his money from big investors. Obama got his money from misuse of taxpayers funds. Rezko said he couldnt pay for the heat in the buildings in Chicago. People going without heat in a Chicago winter? Chicago gets cold. During that time...Rezko gives a thousand dollars to Obama for his political career. I find it hard to believe that Obama didnt know about these conditions in his district...when the City Of Chicago was taking Rezko to court for this. Obama wrote a letter of recommendation for Rezko to get funding for his housing. Those letters are available to see at a website ...taylor marsh. They have government heading on them. You cant tell me that Obama didnt know that Rezko was under federal investigation when he go a deal with him to buy his house. Check it out. Senator Obama hasnt been that honest about all of this.

Come on sheeple this is BIG media and the republican walking you into a trap. Edwards supporters it was BIG media that made him have to drop out. It is BIG media that gives Obama legs with there love fest. We are being divided. He is a good speaker, but when the lights fade and the arena empties the good speker will be all alone. Do the research people. Don’t be tricked again.

Isn't that the guy who won the Presidency but then gave it to W?

I think this is the way all of the delegates should go because it should be about the people and what the American people want. Why is it so hard for our hard head politicians to see that? Much respect for Gore and the rest of the delegates who are holding out.

In terms of the environment Gore would definitely vote Hillary! Join the Green Revolution...vote Hillary!

I just want to convey my heart-felt respect to the vice president Gore for his make sense dicision.

Thomas speak for yourself. If Obama gets the nod, I am all in. If HIllary gets the nod, I am sitting it out, maybe waiting for McCain to convince me

You can't blame the man
It is a tough spot to be in

He will support one after the final nod

Al, you have earned the respect of every body all over again.

Hell, he still thinks he is the President.

Finally someone with sound reasoning, why create enemies of either of them.

Excuse me, but wouldn't an "endorsement" by al gore be the death knell for anyone???? GLOBAL WARMING? "Winner" of the desgraced Nobel Peace Prize (just look at recent awardees) INVENTOR OF THE INTERNET? HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLO, REALITY CHECK!!!! Who cares about al gore????????????????????????????? and Why would they?????????????????????????????????????????????????

Why would Edwadrs endorse Obama? after senator Obama constantly kept calling Edwards the white guy as if that was a bad thing, senator Obama talks about birnging people together yet he belong to a Christian Church that has a minister who has ties to bad people, and is a racist. Would Obama not only try to better the Economy of this Country, but be the strongest leader in protecting it ? I don't think so.

OK, good. Now move on.

..And I was SO worried about Al endorsing a=somebody........

Gore would not, but CNN has already endorsed one.

I wish he could have been president, what a better place it would be...

It's kind of sad that politicians have such a hard time making up their mind. Imagine that would be us ...' Noooo, I am not ready for the primary yet. I am not sure who s winning'.

It's simple. I listen to the debate. I look at the campaign trail and how the candidates present themselves (and others). I visit their websites and read through the policies they say they stand for. Then I look at 'who' they are and what their chances are of winning.

That's how I decided to vote for Barack Obama !!

And that's also how I found out that I would never vote for Hillary Clinton. I would rather see the White House four more years in Republican hands.

OBAMA is a once-in-a-lifetime candidate and to me Billary is an I-should-be-president-too candidate. Sorry, but this does not run in the family (although Jep Bush is already lining up out there)

Good for him..I'm tired of all the Democratic Power Brokers telling me who I should vote for ..as well as telling Florida & Mich. that 1 person ,1 vote is no longer the rule...Doesn't sound very Democratic to me. I think that power & bias has disconnected the DNC from a large block of voters.

Al needs to get his House in order before he starts telling others what he thinks is right for us. His son is in Rehab with Brittney and he is out accepting awards and trying to save the Planet. This guy is so into himself that he does not see a need to Save his own flesh and blood. He looses the Father of the Year award!! Maybe he and his Hollywood crowd can create a Virtual world where he is Kind and Obama is President and the Harvard review becomes the staple for choosing leaders and little birds and fairys clapp as they enter the room and Kennedy stops drinking ohhhhhhh what a dream!!!

Eric TX She resigned that means she wanted this to happen and she must not be upset as she is traveling right along with Hillary everyday.

EXACTLY what superdelegates should be doing now. Let the voters work it out.

PATTI SOLIS wasnt fired, DIMWITS. ITS a campaign TACTIC.
They need a LATINA to be with the CAMPAIGN trail And Patti Cant be both MANAGER and TRAIL CAMPAIGNER.

MANAGER – manage everyone, the drama etc.
TRAIL CAMPAIGNER- To rally the crowd.

DIFFERENT JOB. Although the ENEMY wants you to think that Hillary dont like the Latino anymore. DONT BELIEVE THE DEVIL.

Mr Gore,
The right person for the job is you. The many people i have talked with would vote for you.. We wish you would put your name in and become are next President

Can't respect the more anymore than I do.

But I can't helping thinking he's privately enjoying the Billary implosion!

The reason why Gore is not endorsing anyone is because he is planning on sweeping the convention. Al Gore will be president in 2009.

jm

This is really a non-endorsement of Obama. COnsidering the supposed bad blood between the Gores and Clintons, Hillary was never going to get Gore's endorsement. This hurts Obama.

"Gore also will want to work closely with whoever wins the nomination to promote an environmental agenda."

Note to editor: That should be "whomever."

Good on Al Gore for staying out of it - I admire him a great deal for his positions on global warming and the Iraq war, and would hate to see him get unnecessarily mired in this election.

I don't understand why CNN is saying Clinton is trailing Obama after the fact they are dismissing the delegates from Michigan and California; states in which went unanimously for Hillary. Moreover, they are not giving Obama the same scutiny as Hillary. Don't even mention Michelle Obama. She says what she want as if what she says is the gospel.

Hillary '08

I endrse Gore.

You know what? Who cares what Gore thinks? He's a hypocritical gasbag who is leading a movement that essentially a scam for him to get wealthier and more prominent. Carbon "offsets" ! Give me a break. Remember the "Little Ice Age"? Gore has about as much of a chance to reverse the earth's natural cycle of warming and cooling as I have of building a time machine so I can go back to the 1890's and hype "global cooling." It is a manufactured "crisis" and Gore should be stripped of his Nobel Prize and thrown in jail. I would respect him more if he just introduced energy saving ideas and visited India and China – the most polluting countries in the world – and convince them to clean up their act. Instead, the so-called savior of mankind, aka The Goracle, trots around the globe in his private jet collecting big praise and even bigger checks while bashing the U.S.. Now he wants to be a Kingmaker (or Queenmaker) and arm wrestle the other phony, John Edwards, for attention. He can go to hell with his Nobel wrapped around his fat neck as far as I'm concerned..

Kennedy and Kerry should have done the same!

Hillary the HOPE of 08

That fact that Gore would be a better president than either remaining candidate is just another inconvenient truth.

Al Gore is being very smart here. As people have mentioned, the party is very divided at the moment, and an endorsement probably wouldn't change that – in fact, it might do more harm than good.

And to the Al Gore haters: Now that we've got the attention of the only two remaining people on Earth who don't understand global warming is being caused by humans, perhaps there is some educational resource we can recommend. Hey, I know, why don't you see An Inconvenient Truth? It's a movie, so you don't have to read much.

Al, Al, Al....
You KNOW the more qualified and better prepared candidate is Hillary Clinton. Tipper needs to slap you up beside the head and tell you to endorse her right now!

I have nothing but respect for Gore, but I am disappointed with him for not running in this election. He would have provided us with a clear winner for the democratic nom. I feel he is letting this country down by not stepping up when we needed him most.

Smart, smart, smart...that's all I have to say.

How wonderful to see a party leader take a serious and thoughtful approach to this decision. The fairy dust needs to settle, the debates must go on, the full electorate needs their say.

I hope he holds both candidates accountable and brings environmental issues to the forefront in the primary and general election debates. We can't lose sight of it as a pivotal issue favoring the dems.

We can see what happened when Super-Delegates do not regard or override the vote and will of the people. This was a huge mistake when Super-Delegates caused our current President Bush to be nominated and then elected over Al Gore who received the majority of american votes. President Bush has now bankrupted our country and have killed the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans. I am hoping that this time our Super-Delegates will not make this same mistake again, but will listen to the voters and endorse the people's choice of a presidential candidate with the majority of the american votes or pledged delegates. Thank you.

Where our country would be today had he been the President.

I'm betting Gore wants to be VP for whoever wins!!

Thank you Al Gore! I would have voted for you if you had run. I respect you very much! Now I think that the best choice is Hillary- but I will support the Dem nominee.

Good call , Mr. Gore. Endorsements mean nothing.

Gore will end up settling this Nomination – which is destined to be disputed. Just wait.

It will be poetic, that he, who was denied the Presidency in 2000 because of the electoral college – and Florida's voting – will be the one to decide who the Democratic nominee.

Think about it – Hillary is contesting that Florida's vote be counted, even though it was not contested. Howard Dean does not have the political clout to referee this thing. Gore does.

I think it's wishy-washy pre-2000. I like the "Inconvenient" Vice President Gore better. It may not be easy to stand up against the machine, but Obama and the country could sure use some timely help.

With regard to the smoke-filled room scenarios, not to worry: I'm sure they'll be no shortage of elders, if needed. And an Obama sweep of all the races through PA should provide all the necessary unity and momentum to take back the White House and fix the nation.

AL GORE IS THE BEST PRESIDENT WE NEVER HAD
Or Howard Dean, tough call. Two great Statesmen. Now there's a ticket!
This time around, it's definately Obama.

Being an election junkie, and knowin every delegate counts;
CNN, Please give us the AMERICAN SAMOA & VIRGIN ISLANDS results!

CNN, Please give us the AMERICAN SAMOA & VIRGIN ISLANDS results!

CNN, Please give us the AMERICAN SAMOA & VIRGIN ISLANDS results!

If Obaman isn't the Democratic candidate and Hillary is, and if McCain selects Huckabee as his running mate, I would have to vote for Hillary.

i wish gore was the president of the US.i hoped he would be the next president after bill clinton. He would be a good for the countrys economy & an able administrator.A very inteligent man. look at him his face shows charector.

Thank you Al Gore. You are the only smart democratic leader left. Endorsements should come after the candidate is chosen. I have lost all respect for the Kennedy
clan, John Kerry, Claire McCaskil and all the other rats who have endorsed a candidate.

What is wrong with Al Groe if he is not running for the job he should endorse Hillary Clinton. After all he was second in comand for eight years

I think that Gore is a good man and would have made a wonderful president, and I think that he is doing a good thing by staying out of it for now, but all of or most of these really nice comments for Gore aren't consistent with many of the other pages with comments.

What I mean by that is if Gore was in the race for the presidency there wouldn't be all these good tidings and cheer for the man, there would be just more ridiculous rhetoric from both sides, from democrats and republicans.

People are just saying nice things because he isn't running against their choice, otherwise this comment section would look a lot different. So why are most of you acting like you like the guy or would vote for the guy now. When you'll had your chance you blew and now we're the most hated country and the world for it. So if you're sincere about liking the guy continue but all you losers who voted against him for George W. Dunce keep your fake praise.

Well after the Dean endorsement and Dean's meltdown...it is the smart thing to do.....stay out of it until the primaries are over!!!

What's John Edwards say about Al's decision?

If Obama isn't the Democratic candidate and Hillary is, and McCain selects Huckabee as his running mate, I would have to vote for Hillary.

God I love Gore! Seriously. I think he is a true Democrat and I also still believe he won back in 2000...wait he did-the popular vote.

I think whoever wins the nomination they should allow him to work 100% to promoting an environment policy that benefits us all.

Who cares what the coward Gore does or says, he is a big blow hard anyway. Him and his B.S. about global warming, what a farce. Live in fear, change your lives the world is burning up! it is all of mans fault! Just to raise taxes for meaningless things that won't work, just to screw everyone over.

God is in charge, not Gore!

Obama!

He's going to be Obama's body guard.

Tell me...anyone here, please. If Gore ran this year (from the start) would we even be talking about Obama or Clinton?

This guy would have won his presidency back in a walk. Gore won Florida in 2000. He'd win nationwide in a landslide in 2008... but. Maybe he knows that the Dems, no matter who wins, will be in trouble in 2012 and he will then take his rightful place in the White House. I hope so.

Rick
Port Orange, Fl.

I wish Al Gore would run for President. Hillary and Obama are tearing the Democratic Party apart. Neither of them has enough experience to run this country, especially Obama. Has anyone looked at his voting record? Where does he stand on all the important issues? I am sick of both of them and plan to vote for McCain if he gets the Republican nomination.

Al Gore for President – Better Still – Gore for Emporer of the World!

Gore had my vote in 2000. He would have had it in 2004. And, this year, as we see, he's the smartest guy no longer in politics. If only, 8 years ago, the media hadn't had their own agenda to denegrate and bring Gore down to Bush's level, we would have avoiding so many of the catastrophes the current president has brought upon us.

When history judges our era, it will look favorably on Gore. And if he can facilitate reconciliation or a non-brokered convention come the end of summer, he will have topped off two very impressive years as a private citizen.

In short, Al Gore is the man.

I think the rest of the democrats should learn from Gore and stop endorsing candidates. I received emails from Ted Kennedy @infoBarack and from Kerry informing me that they had endorsed Barack and it was my turn. What do these dumb-- think I am?

I am a Republican and I know there are A LOT of us who feel this way.

If it is McCain and Obama I WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA.

If it is McCain and Hillary I will vote for McCain.

If Obama gets the nomination he will win the election by a landslide because both Democrats and Republicans will vote for him and he will bring this country together.

Eric from Texas you make no sense whatsoever.

Hillary moved Solis to an advisory role for cause.

Hillary also has a long record of support for the Hispanic community in Texas and throughout the US. Obama has no record of support for the Hispanic community nationally and a very limited record in Illinois.

Hispanics in Texas will come together an vote for Hillary.

I say let all the fuss die down and then do what we should have done in the first place; have a Gore Obama ticket, with Hilary as secretary of Health and Human Services, and let's get to work......RK

Gore should run. Again. I bet he'd win. Again. It makes me sick, literally, that he's not in this race. He has to run at some point, no?! He's the only Democrat I'd vote without question.

I was just listening to KGO and this dude said he doesn't like Hillary because she divides the party, and he likes Obama, even though he doesn't know much about him, or where he stands on things. He went on to say it might be a good thing to not know, to get someone in who is fresh.

Am I on drugs? (Rhetorical)

Let's just vote Sam the Freaking Video Store Owner in then?! What the heck is that anyway? We don't know where he stands on the issues, and we don't know much about him, so let's vote him in as the most powerful man in the world?

Democrats are a LAUGHING STOCK right now.

I'd still vote Gore though, despite the idiocy of the party, currently.

User Status: Annoyed

I Like Hillary, but days of recycling politicians are over. She need to pack her bags and get out. Same case with Mcain.
U.S. A needs a new beginning. Obama is The man to bring it.

I wish Gore would endorse; he could put an end to this madness!!!

Who cares? He's a total has been at this point.

Gore knows that everyone should make up his own mind and not follow endorsements or the biased press. Voters should take the election seriously and not be lead around by the nose. Obama, despite what he says, is devisive and Gore knows he, as the elder statesman and a man who is committed to the betterment of the world, has the ability to unite the Democratic party behind their candidate. Hurray for this intelligent man.

IF YOU NEED ANYONE'S OPINION/ENDORSEMENT TO TELL YOU WHO TO VOTE FOR, YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND STUDY THE ISSUES AND READ WHO WILL DO THE BEST FOR YOU AND THE COUNTRY. VOTING WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE VOTING FOR IS STUPID!

I still wish he was in the White House.

Good, I hope he does hold his water and not endorse anyone.

Hey Darth ~ You're right, where is Ron Paul? His revolution died just as will Obama's. FINALLY after the 60 Minutes interview last night, he has to discuss his lack of experience. No one pushes him...no one asks him tough questions... no one wants to be considered nasty to him or they will be labeled racist (just like Bill Clinton was). Obama has found the loop hole in politics. If he does win the nomination (God forbid), the Repubs will eat him alive on his religion, his experience, his family in Kenya (look up his brother – you'll be shocked at what you read!), Rezko and his wife's ties to corporate boards...just wait and see.

Hillary '08

Who cares who Gore endorses, he is irrelevant to all, except his mindless worshippers that believe he is a prophet. Like the other false and self proclaimed prophet ,Muhummad, both have mindless followers that believe
everything they say as truth.

Eric in TX, Solis Doyle isn't being thrown to the side, she's still a top advisor. I know you anti-Hillary people love a good conspiracy theory, but maybe – just maybe, all of the stress from this mega campaign was in fact hard on Solid Doyle... otherwise, Solis Doyle undoubtedly would have gone to the press to give them their hating-Hillary stories that they thrive for. Another shameful attack by an Obama supporter at Hillary's base... though that base remains steadfast by her.

As for Gore, I have a lot of respect for him. He is making a wise decision to think this through and wait it out. As for Edwards, I respect him as well, and wish he too wouldn't get involved in this mess.

gore you r awesome but i say go obama or dont go at all

Tell us the TRUTH about HILLBILLY !!! The fact that you will NOT endorse someone you were in the Whitehouse with for 8 years, tells SMART people how the Clintons REALLY are !!!!!
Obama/Edwards 08 YES WE CAN SI SE PUEDE

Just wondering why I was blacklisted, CNN. You haven't posted any of my anti-Obama comments. I have only told the truth, but maybe his unelectability isn't something you want to face. I have tried to post about 6 different times, and each time, my posts are ignored. I thought you were a news source, not an Obama-source! Maybe the nation needs to rely on someone else for their 'non-partial' news.

Smart man Gore is! Trying to unite instead of divide.

For myself and a lot others, if it goes toward Obama, our votes will cross party lines for McCain and I've heard grumbling of we're just not going to vote and McCain will have the numbers.

Gore should try to get Hillary and Obama to work together on one united ticket. That is what all of us feel would be the "true American dream". But the reality is that Hillary will do it; but Obama will never as his feeling of his own power and self worth would never allow it. He wants it all to himself.

Again, Gore is the only one who looks beyond the now and into the bigger picture.

hey ron he is definitly oowning you so endorse him man anything beats huckabee

Hillary Clinton has always been on the Latino side and for all minorities. Pay attention to the issues and you will notice that Barack Obama has nothing to say but a yes we can slogan.....but that's all he says! Listen to Hillary Clinton, I'm worried about the economy and she has a plan and at least she's talking about it.

If Obama is JFK, then why isn't he aksing voters "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"
Thank you for demonstrating your ignorance. Obama's message is about getting people involved in politics and in changing their country. The best example? You want Money for College? Obama wants to give you $4k if you just give back to the community with volunteer hours.
Obama stands for getting the average American involved in changing this country. To suggest otherwise is not only misleading, its just wrong.

Maybe it maintains his "senior statesman" status for a while, but he'll likely be forced to commit at some point when things get really ugly (which I think they will). Why not commit now and prevent the ugliness? I suspect he's biding his time until one candidate is more clearly a "front runner". Frankly, Gore has always struck me as a stick in the mud (even though I voted for him in 2000).

Hillary has been talking about Global warming the past several weeks in her
town hall meetings and in speeches.

I wanted GORE to run for president this year, but he didn't so I am supporting OBAMA all the way to the White House.

YES WE CAN

TEXANS for OBAMA

Darth Vadik, CA, True... Ron Paul's revolution is far too simple for a complicated US political system. WIth nearly 90% of the black voting for him, and a lot of younger people, some experience has been missing here.

I see comments like the following often amongst the CNN cooments section:

"If my candidate (Clinton/Obama) does not win the nomination, I'm voting for McCain."

From my chair, this is a rather childish, foolish, and counter productive position to take. In the end, there is little difference between Obama and Hillary and we all want what they claim to be offering... in short people are saying that they would rather have more of the same, rather than having what they want want, because it's the wrong person (in your mind) who gave it to them?

Whoever ends up with the nomination will get my vote be it Clinton or Obama. I'm a democrat and believe in the tenets of the party.

I think if you are so dogmatic about a specific candidate… maybe you should vote GOP (McCain) as that’s one of the hallmarks of the GOP. No flexibility.

When I see comments refuting Al's position regarding global warming, all I can say is show me your Nobel Peace Prize or shut up and go home.

These are the same people constantly brining up Gore's unfortunate mis-statement that he "invented" the Internet, as if it somehow proves he's a idiot. He was instrumental in drafting the legistlation that made the Internet possible. As a Senator he was constantly pro-technology - fighting the cable cartel when they were trying to say the signals they dropped in everyone's yards were their "property" and it should be illegal to view them unless you get them via cable. Etc. Etc. Etc.

He didn't INVENT the Internet. He made a slip of the tongue and meant to say he was one of the MAJOR influencers who did indeed make the Internet possible.

Again I will say - show me your Nobel Peace Prize or shut up. Gore is brilliant. He "lost" the 2000 electrion and look what we got for eight years in his place.

Nuff said.

Not endorsing is endorsing Obama.

Good on Gore for staying out of this mess of a primary. It's just too bad he didn't run himself...

YES-Gore should have been president but many in this country went with the slick, fun, likeable message of W-PLEASE DO NOT do that again. Go with experience and the person best suited for this job right now. Obama may be the best person in 8 years he is young, but not right now. Please get out and vote for the only person who can beat McCain and help lead this country out of this mess.
Hillary 08

We Dems are in worrisome waters here- it remains to be seen if Clinton supporters will vote for Obama should he win, and vice versa. Judging from the posts on CNN, it seems unlikely, which will only favor McCain. Please, Dems, let's use our heads and get this one right. The Supreme court will be cinched for decades to come by whomever becomes next president. Enough said......!

Al Gore knows what the political arena is like and endorsements aren't likely to carry a candidate. I'm sure Gore is watching closely to see if 2000 will be repeated and right now there is a very strong possibility, it'll just have a new spin on it.

No guts. He was 8 yrs with the Clintons and can't give an endorsement.

I think Al Gore should endorse Barack Obama. This is my gut feeling. Through him we would end this war in Iraq. Hillary would be a wonderful leader but Obama would be a trailblazer of a leader!

like other democrats that i know, if obama wins, i will take the republican way.

I will take McCain more than obama. I will not compromise america to someone who is talk, inspirational speaker who nothing else to show.

HILLARY IS THE BEST PERSON run this country with all problems that GWB is leaving.

Jules-

Obama is asking people to do for their country. Take his education plan for example. He is willing to give 4,000 a year to every college student, but they MUST repay with community service on the local, state, or federal level. Its a win-win. No matter who you are in favor of, please get the facts straight.

I agree with EricTX. I am also from TX. I don't understand why so many Latino's are on Clinton's corner.

She says she wants to help illegal immigrants earned legal status in this country...but what if she "flips her script" like she did before on this issue?

Does anyone know what she has done for Latinos? I know her husband granted the 12 Puerto Ricans clemency back in the late 90's (I am still fighting to grasp a complete understanding on this issue); after all, Giuliani and others were very opposed to what Clinton did. Clinton (Bill) set them free as long as they promised not to be terrorists anymore. Someone should let those guys that are held up in Guantanamo about this "promise"...maybe it could help them out too!!

Regarding, We Latino's in Texas need to come together and vote obama. I was leaning toward hilary till I see she forced our fellow latino Solis Doyle to step down (fired for all purposes). Is this what we can expect. Hilary giving us Latino voters promises and then when she gets our vote, throwing us to the side because she got what she wanted. We need to come together as Latino's and make a stand. I am voting obama.

The Clintons are in it to win it. And if that means using minority groups with lies just to get elected, that is what the Clintons will do. People need to wake up to this fact and vote for who is best for all of America like Obama. Not those politicians who use divisive politics.

To EricTx:

I am not currently supporting either candiate at the moment, still waiting to decide, but I would like to point out that Clinton did not fire Solis Doyle, but just moved her into a different position, as a Senior Advisor who will travel with Clinton, allowing someone else to remain at the campaign headquarters to manage things there.

Maybe he should be asking the questions in the next debate.
I'm sure he could help clarify this mess.

EricTx: are you smart and are all others stupid? How about Sen. Obama hires your fellow latino Solis Doyle as his manager?

I would have like to see an endorsement of Obama, I hope Mr. Gore will reconsider.

Good for him.

We Latinos need to make sure we vote for Hillary Clinton! Remember Dallas.

Hillary for President!

Eric I think it's going to come out that Doyle stepping down wasn't a demotion. The fact that she is going to be traveling with Hillary and is considered a senior advisor tells you how much Hillary relies on her.

GOOD FOR HIM!
I ACTUALLY WOULD PREFER THAT HE RUNS FOR PRESIDENT BUT IF HE IS NOT RUNNING THE BEST THAT HE CAN DO IS STAY OUT OF THE ENDORSING MADNESS

That is Gore's right to decide not to endorse. That said, I personally feel that Al Gore is more afraid of the historical wrath of the Clintons than he is of standing for his own beliefs and endorsing Obama. Al Gore seriously needs to grow a pair.

Funny end note to the article.... Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi?

Yikes, with Congress' approval ratings, who'd want that endorsement?

Gore losing in 2000 sucked, the only good thing that came out of it was that Gore did something Reagan never had a shot at accomplishing: winning an Oscar.

Ziiiiiiing. Seriously though, dude was a crappy actor, decent governor, horrible president.

I beg of every Democrat to start a movement that ask both Hillary and Obama to use the other as VP. These people both have shown they have highly stimulated the party. They are getting record turn out at the polls and record contributions. If these two would agree to run together no matter who gets the nomination we would go in with a landslide in November. Please start this and let us quit this bickering among our own selves. Start sending emails to your friends and start posting comments(on anything CNN or other websites have that you can post) to this matter and blogging. This is the only way we will win this year. I don't want any Democrat to think they could win with just Hillary or Obama it will take both of them. LET US COME TOGETHER AND UNITE FOR THE GOOD OF US ALL.

Eric,

Solis Doyle was relieved of her duties because she wasn't achieving the key objective of her job - to get her candidate elected. This is standard operating procedure when a campaign is either faltering, or takes a hit because of some bad judgement.

Rather than reject Hillary because she terminated someone who wasn't performing in their job who just happened to be Latina, why not commend her for being open to giving a Latina the top job in the first place?

Hillary is not "throwing Latinos to the side" - she simply made a staffing decision. Your community has enough genuine enemies - you don't need to villify your friends.

This is the right move for Al Gore. Glad he will stay out of the selection process. Let the voters voices be heard!

Chris from Middletown you're a moron if you don't think man has had a hand in global warming. I'm sure you know more than the scientists though right?

And Eric in Texas can we think a little broader perhaps? You mention Latino's 4 times in one little comment. How about getting over your own race and looking at the issues. If you don't like Hillary fine, but don't not vote for her because she fired a Latino. You take one small example and try to apply it to how she feels about ALL Hispanics? She got swept this weekend, you have to expect her to shake up her staff. I'm sure it wasn't his fault, but that's how the cookie crumbles.

Jules, give me a break. Just a few weeks ago people were calling CNN the "Clinton News Network." Surprise, CNN does what good journalists should do by covering the NEWS. News has to be current to be news, and right now Obama is the man to watch. Hillary's campaign is falling apart, financially and in terms of staff, and Obama is cruising ahead of her in all of the latest contests, and should keep the trend going through the next 5-6 contests with ease. And CNN reporting the facts, which favor Obama right now, does not make them biased. They are simply telling the truth.

Al Gore is wise not to endorse either candidate. He probably doesn't really have a preference. Obama and Clinton are both good choices and sure winners against McCain.

all that comes out of gores mouth is CO2. maybe he's finally learning that he can save the planet by merely shutting up.

Al Gore is from Tennessee, Hillary Clinton won Tennessee. Barack Obama should follow his own advice and stop trying to get Al Gore's endorsement. This is another example of Obama talking out of both sides of his mouth.

If global warming is bothering you, please come to Canada, is more like global freezing up here.

OK no endorsement but did he vote or will he vote in these primaries? And if so I wonder who he voted for? I bet he punched one up for Obama. Doesnt want to hurt clintons feelings. jk

i voted did my part i'm done I dont vote till Nov now so unless either of these 2 candidates say something outrageous(cmon Bill say something dumb again)
let them eat cake for all i care
see you all in Nov's blogs

LOL @ people not realizing a former Vice-President, who held that position for 8 years under Clinton, not endorsing Hillary IS an endorsement for Obama.

I think Al Gore will be used later to unite the party after the primaries. If Hillary is the nominee even Al Gore couldn't get me vote for her, she voted for the Iraq war!

Good for him. This endorsement business has gotten way out of hand, politicians are one thing, but when you start having movie starts, television personalities and the like it's a bit too much like an American Idol competition.

Congratulations CNN I see you are leading in the polls

When I read comments like that of EricTx I despair.

"We Latino's in Texas need to come together and vote obama. I was leaning toward hilary till I see she forced our fellow latino Solis Doyle to step down (fired for all purposes). Is this what we can expect. Hilary giving us Latino voters promises and then when she gets our vote, throwing us to the side because she got what she wanted. We need to come together as Latino's and make a stand. I am voting obama."

Your vote should not be decided by the number of Latinos/Black people/White people/Asian people on a candidate's campaign, but on a candidate's policies.

Al Gore, contrary to the slave owner Ted Kennedy, is waiting for WE THE PEOPLE to decide our choice... endorsements have no place in the election process nor do antiquated caucuses!

...I know if Obama get the nod I'm going McCane...

Gosh, why do people keep saying that Hillary! supporters are uneducated?

I am a HILLARY supporter and a take my hat off for you Al Gore. You are a wise man.

You are a world leader already and geting involved in local politics and take sides is diminishing. You have our Earths side and that the biggest issue around.

Gore better change his mind and endorse Obama. I just don't understand why he didn't endorse Obama already. Surely he must see that Obama is in fact the second coming of our Messiah? If he can't see that then he doesn't see any truth, period. Thus, everything he said about global warming must be a lie.

AL WILL DO THE RIGHT THING, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE HELL OF A PRESIDENT , SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE BUSHS DIRTY DEALING IN POLITICS

The GOP Attack Machine Will Redefine the Democratic Candidate; Hillary Has Withstood That Process. As soon as the Democratic nominee is selected, the entire force of the GOP attack machine will bear down on that nominee. This attack machine has been built and honed over decades; it is formidable, and employs all forms of media, from talk radio to major newspaper columns to television, email, blogs, websites, direct mail, and extensive ground networks. It was able to skew public perceptions of two well-respected Democrats, Al Gore and John Kerry, creating impressions about them that were wildly out of step with reality. Hillary Clinton has withstood the full brunt of that machine and actually emerged stronger.

HILLARY 08

Like many of you leaving comments, Gore fails to lead. He may have ideas that serve his own agenda, but he fails to make choices. If he had guts he would have run this time, but now he wants to be the broker of power.

Enough of Al Gore and Michael Moore and the rest of the cowardly lions who feast on the profits of the ordinary man while condemning their brethern.

Peter, NYC:

You should know all about frauds if you are a Clinton Supporter. Fraud, sleaze,
lies, cheating..

Imagine the different world we'd be living in had THIS MAN been PRESIDENT for the past 8 years...

I think leaders should be willing to stick their necks out and give us the benefit of their opinion. And I say that as an Obama supporter that is not certain that Gore would endorse Obama. None of us gain by having anyone sit on their hands.

"If an agreement needs to be struck between Clinton and Obama" ... like persuading them neither can win the general alone and especially not together?

Al Gore made a very good decision by not endorsing.

Gore is an idiot....and liberals are sheep.

'Nuff said

EricTx
Since when is your "fellow latino Solis Doyle" a victim? This campaign has become longer than expected, Doyle is a mother with family obligations, she is a friend of Hillary and remains on the campaign. Why do you insinuate things that are not true? What do you actually know about this story? Vote for whoever you want, but don't embrace the Obama and Republican methods to distorting the truth.

Good luck!

Poor Gore. lol

Again when Al Gore should be stepping up to the plate to change the America he helped surrender to a dastardly Bush-whacking, Al Gore wimps out!

Al Gore has to know that it was the Clintons destruction of their own White House legacy that turned off the American people, deprived him of the Presidency and enabled the Bush-whacking of America.

Yet Al Gore will AGAIN sit this one out when America most needs him to TAKE A STAND AL! Do it for America, Land you SHOULD love!
For shame, Al Gore! For shame!
You let America down again.

Barack Obama does not need you, Al Gore, to do something about the environment. This highly educated and highly committed American WAS ENGAGED in service to America since college!

You think I was disappointed in Al Gore for almost willfully snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? Think again!

Barack with those ENTHUSIASTIC PATRIOTS will put America on their broad backs, take the nation from the abyss, and put America in a better place.

Go hug a tree, Al Gore. lol

He's placed his endorsement in what he refers to as his "lockbox," where he also keeps his social security funds, oscar trophy, and the bones of some conservative he didn't like much.

Ola Eric TX !

I too thought THAT was a HUGE Blunder ! to replace the latina campaign mgr.

What if she had done that BEFORE California?

Now Gore.. would he consider another term as VP?

I was thinking VP would be Edwards, but Gore is v. popular with the Hillary types..

they might stop pouting and vote for Obama.

I also like Al Gore too, he's cool! Plus, I don't blame him for not endorsing anyone. Why??? It's too much pressure to put on him to select someone. Plus, I like him because he wants to "at least try" and save the environment. Plus, I'm sure he has his reasons too.

Shows more character than I would have expected.

Thank you for Mr. Gore for not endorsing either candidate. Let the public decide who is the best candidate.

Jim- Well said, let the people decide and not the politicians.

It doesn't matter if Obama or Billary wins, McCain is going to hold the white house for us Republicans.

Good job gore...stay out of the political spectrum.

Dude, Al needs to help out Global Warming and lighten up on the cheese burgers. Wow!

That fact that Gore won't speak up for the wife of the man he served under says alot, if he thought she was going to to win he would have endorsed her a long time ago.

Who cares !!
Gore is irrelevant !!!

Does anyone really care what Al Gore thinks or endorses?? He couldn't win an election on Bill Clinton's coat tails (2000) and aside from inventing the internet – his claim to fame is Global Warming (which is why it snowed in Baghdad for the 1st time in 100 years!).

I rather enjoy watching the democrat party implode with acrimony. And as the dust settles, neither candidate will be able to swing the disenfranchised votes back.... rolling out the red carpet for the Republican nominee back into the White House.

Virigina, our Hillary needs your support. we need an upset in this BARACK ATTACK. give her a win. do it for your kids, for your health, for your future. lets make history. The men have had 200 + years of running the show...and look where we are:

In the middle of a war that can't be won.
In an economy that continues to move forward despite itself.
stuck with an administration that seems to work against those who put them in the position to start with.

Its time to change, Its not a matter of "es we can" for Hillary, her points are best described as "yes we will."

"Ideas are a dime a dozen, people who make them reality are priceless"

Hillary 08

To Chris,

You really need to do your research about global warming. Even with the fluctuations that have occured naturally throughout the past thousands of years, none of the temperature highs even come CLOSE to what we have experienced since the industrial age.

I suggest you go watch Discovery Channel or PBS instead of trying to bash someone that has far higher credentials than you do.

Is Al gore's endorsement going to mean anything anyway?

Don't forget we are electing a PRESIDENT. Presidents'c cant do anything they promised without a majority in Congress...

Please Republicans want hillary Clinton to be the nominee let me explain-
-It would unify the party under McCain
-Republicans hate her and will produce record numbers
-Stem-Cell issues will maintain the south for Republicans

Obama also has some baggage-
-Obama has little experience
-ONLY a senator
-liberality

The main thing to set them apart is -- hope. America loves an image of equality and strength and this is what OBama presents.

Nothing wrong with Clinton as she obivously has the best plans of the two but her odds are too slim. Republicans would turn out in record numbers

Al Gore should have won before... Who knows maybe one candidate will have candidacy cheated away from him/her...

Gore's failure to endorse Hillary is a CLEAR endorsement for Obama. All this other business about remaining neutral is bogus. Funny, his failure to USE Bill Clinton for his presidential run probably cost him. Now, Hillary's presidential run is in jeopardy in part because of Bill Clinton's inaccurate and intentionally inflamatory remarks about Obama.

Al Gore is the 1st American in history to be elected to the presidency but to never actually serve:-) I LOVE AL GORE!!!!!

We certainly missed an excellent presidency when Al Gore was denied the election that he obviously won. But he showed his mettle when he graciously accepted the decision of the Bush-influenced Supreme Court so as not to prolong the agony of those weeks in November and December of 2000. I'm pleased that he does not wish to endorse either Obama or Clinton. His stature and gravitas grow with everything he does or says (or prefers NOT to say). I hope he will continue to be an influential presence in the years to come.

Tired, really tired.....get this election OVER......PLEASE!!!!

To EricTx, Hillary's decision was personal decision, she also said Solis Doyle is close friend of her & would be working closely in compaign & traveling with sen clinton. She also said Solis Doyle is totally cool with it, I don;t think there is anything personal there. Latino community is the community Hillary has been working so hard, under Clinton immigration was favorable & Hillary always supported Latinos in their hardest time. I am a latino too, but I totally understand Hillary's decision & support her, If it's white woman Hillary would have done same thing. Please don't make it a big issue, don't try to use that as excuse to support some one else. Whatever hillary done is totally personal to her compaign, we don't need to create such a big scene. As a Latino I know how strongly she stood for Latinos in hardest times, I will stand by her when she need us. Hillary had done so much for Latino community, I will stand by her, Obama on other hand never interacted with Latino Community, he does not impose same rules to Latinos as he does to African Americans. I know Hillary would treat Latinos with diginity & fairness, Bill Clinton in his presidency gave Latinos good positions in cabinet. Hillary always stand by her in our bad times, as Latino I am proud to support Hillary

Gore will only endorse the candidate who buys into his global warming fearmongering. Oh, and EricTx is racist.

Al's probably remembering what happened after he endorsed Howard Dean four years ago. He's probably worried that endorsing Obama would have a negative impact on his campaign as well....

Doesn't anybody remember Al Gore's antics after he lost the presidential decision!????.......Rightfully or not...he did not become President of the United States.....BUT he DID show his true colors under the pressure.....HE'S A NUT CASE!!!!!....

WHY WOULD ANYBODY RESPECT HIS ENDORSEMENT???

What's with us – all the hatred for one or the other? We need to vote for the one who wins the nomination. I'm a Democrat & it's good if Reid, Gore & Pelosi don't endorse anyone now.
Later, when it is more clear who the voters have voted for (individual votes, not delegates), THEY, after all, are Superdelegates who will get to vote in any case.

I would feel devastated if the people end up with Pres. McCain because they can't take voting for their first or even second (Edwards?) choice. This is the real world.

Obama / Gore '08

He wants to vote for obama, but he's torn against his relationship with the clintons

Ms. Doyle was not fired. The campaign is using all the skills of individuals in the best ways possible. I doubt that moving personnel in the Clinton campaign is a real shake up.

Al Gore stills remains the biggest, pompous, self serving individual to carry the label of Democrat.. You would think this former nominee would carry the moniker of Reagan Republican the way he acts. One not be reminded that Mr. Gore rejected the legacy of Bill Clinton during his ill faded run for the president, thereby guaranteeing the ascension of none other than Dub himself to the presidency. Al Gore would be better off in joing forces with Ralphie Nader. An Incovenient Truth he is INDEED!

If Clinton hadn't cost Gore the presidency in 2000 he (Gore) would be out stumping for Hillary. Or maybe he would still be president and we wouldn't be in Iraq. Tough to say how much Bill's disgraceful behavior cost our country, or what Gore really thinks of the Clintons.

Al won't endorse anyone because he doesn't want to be Vice-President again. I believe being Vice-President for two different administrations is the definition of failure in politics. And besides he is on hot pursuit of manbearpig.

Eric Tx:

Please–do vote for Obama because you are stupid! You obviously do not understand anything about campaigns! This Hispanic is sticking with Hillary!

"Eric, TX"

You are an IMPOSTOR, trying to gain cheap Latino votes for Obama. Shame on you!

Latinas vote for SUBSTANCE!

Latinos (majority) vote for HILLARY '08!!!

Eric – please don't say we latinos are backing obama. Please rephrase to some latinos are supporting Obama. As a hispanic I support Hillary Clinton as well as all my friends and family. Young and old we are behind her. We just heard that she is opening an office here and are getting ready to go down and volunteer. I can only speak for myself – I will never vote for Obama. Not today not in this lifetime. Unlike others we will not forget what she has done for us. Starting with helping the mexicans way back when to go out and vote. You just don't forget.
Clinton 08

Great decision Al Gore! Stay neutral and let the voters decide. its bad enought that the media beleives we need them to tell us who is up and down in their silly polls as if any of that matters. I would like to see some fairness in the portrayal of the candidates. let them speak for themselves rather than these silly celebrities and political pundits filling the airways with their personal views, which have little if any impact on this history making election.

stick to the issues. ballot bowl rules, lets have more of it and less of those that are paid to propigate politics for us.

He should endorse Mike Gravel.

He Eric. you are obviously an Obama hack. The whole PSD thing is being blown way out of proportion. I bet you couldn't even tell me the name of Obama's campaign manager. Oh that's right you are a "volunteer". Go ahead, look it up on the website and "prove me wrong". Do you feel like Bill Clinton threw you aside? GWB certainly did. But Bill did not. Oh and I heard Target was going to endorse Obama, since they are the "walmart for hipsters". Oh and I also heard that Obama will only debate in Austin so he can get as many rich college students to donate their parents money without their consent to his campaign as possible.

Neutral Elder Statesman? How about "neutered" elder statesman . . . Isn't Jimmy Carter more elder and higher ranked?

Former VP AlGore (Bill Clinton) knows very well Hillary and her convictions. On the other hand, he does not know Obama. To me it is obvious that AlGore is for Hillary-Clinton

He's got the right idea. All of the supedelegates oughtta keep quiet and vote the will of the people. BUT, am I the only one that finds it shady as heck that he's not giving his endorsement to HRC? Didn't he used to work for her husband?

Just wonderin.

O/08!!
Si Se Puede

I can respect Gore's decision. But if we don't have a candidate in the very near future, the republicans will win and that means more years of war...

I think Hillary is the smarter choice for president. I heard several of her debates and she's always very specific as to how she plans to lead the country and make changes.

I don't like Obama because he's not as experienced and I don't think he has family values. He's a millionaire and yet allows his grandmother to live in poverty.
I don't share the same values with him.

All superdelegates should follow his lead.

Obama 08'

Maybe we can now stop hearing all the "Gore to Endorse Obama" rumors we have been hearing for weeks.

Oh, EricTX – you were not supporting Hillary Clinton. She needed to do something with her campaign. She was not discriminating against a Latina.

Although I'm a Hillary supporter, I applaud Al Gore for remaining neutral in this race. His priority being reversing global warming (conspiracy theorists, please don't rant or attempt to debunk – I'm a "true believer"), roping himself into a policy plan would limit his ability to advocate for change on his own terms. Staying above the fray, he's sustaining the power of his own message.

Kudos, Mr. Gore!

oops, hit submit too soon- she hasn't left the campaign either. she's still on it.

it really shouldnt matter to us very much how a candidate shuffles their campaign staff. Ultimately, we're buying or not buying what the CANDIDATE has to say. not the staff.

God bless Al Gore for doing this. That is why he would beat both Obama and Clinton out for the White House if he were to decide to run. My respect for this man continues to rise.

Eric TX, who cares if Hillary Clinton's campaign manager is black, white, latino or purple. That's her decision. If you make your decision based on that then you don't deserve to vote. This election is so ridiculous. I heard CNN mention that Hillary's manager was latino. What does that have to do with anything? You don't make decisions based on race. You make them based on issues. CNN was only trying to fan the flame to this fire. Anything to push Obama over to the top. Everyone in Obama's staff is white. No higher up black people. Does CNN mention that no?!

NOW WHO CARES THIS IS A CANDIDATE THAT COULD-NOT WIN HIS OWN STATE. HE WON THE PRESIDENCY BUT NOT HIS STATE.

Eric, Tx- patti was actually set to step down a month ago. on her own.

Glad to hear. I'm really sick of this Obamamania.

Finally Al Gore does something smart !!

Gore will make a terrific president. It was unfair for the Supreme Court to deny us of his presidency in 2000.

I' sure hope to see him run next time around.

I thought Nancy Pelosi endorsed Hillary Clinton?

Al Gore wouldn't want to blow his holier than thous status as a Nobel Peace Prize winner over picking the wrong horse to ride. I don't quite know if he is exactly the elder statesman in the party since he hasn't been a statesman for like 8 years, but everybody likes to say nothing but good things about Al Gore now. Although I bet Obama would do anything for an endorsement from Al Gore, even forget that he was Clinton's Vice President. Thats the kind of change we can believe in.

Good man! Stay out of it, until this sorted out. We still love u President Gore!

On another note, the way the media and the left has trashed Hillary is so reminiscent to how they treated you. Still, you should both of them what you were made of and I have no doubt, Hillary will too!

Silence has never spoken so Loudly!!!! Maybe the dream ticket is Obama/Gore?

As frustrating as this is (I confess I would like Gore to endorse Obama), this is a brilliant move by Gore stay above the fray and hold position within the party. By not alienating one side or the other, he can ensure that the victor will heed some of his ideas for fighting global warming.

Well, played, Mr. President.

I think this makes sense. There's plenty of time to endorse the nominee after the convention. Right now, let the people be heard.

with whomever

I think most of us who were Gore supporters hope he ends up endorsing Senator Obama, and hopefully encouraging either Gov Richardson or Sen Dodd to be his running mate.

Bad news for Hillary!

Good For Him. Gore is the man, he will hold him opinion to himself until Nov and then kick the republicans where it hurts.

Well, we know who Al would endorse, c'mon:

RALPH NADER!
(key in the scary music)

just kidding, he would endorse Obama of course, or did I dream that last night,

..huh, I'm really confuzed now....

Has anybody seen Ron Paul, what happened to his revolution?

That's right, Gore,
Stay neutral for now–no need to split the baby yet but we need you in November!!!

Thanks for the Green efforts–keep it up!

May be he will run for President? who knows? and even if he endorses someone_ which I doubt he will...... at this point_ this campaign unlike many others is driven by the people. Gore might be a nice environmentalist guy, but he has for a long time been a supporter of the BILLARY clan and dynasty.

Good for Al Gore! CNN is pro Obama and Anti Hillary – If Obama is JFK, then why isn't he aksing voters "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" He believes that he can give everything away.

WHAT HAPPEN TO THE BRIDGE TO THE 21st CENTURY???

Why won't he endorse? I want him to tell me who I SHOULDN'T vote for just like Teddy Kennedy. Whomever that fraud (and that is what he is) supports is never getting my vote. He is a backstabbing fraud who was the first to win a Nobel Prize for promotion.

He is being careful, which I can respect, but I think it's better to go ahead and endorse Obama while the iron's hot

Good. I think the party is better off without it becoming divided to the Nth degree.

Smart man. Think many should follow his lead.

Good for you Al Gore. Let the American people have their say. I wish only the supporters for Hillary and Barack could also respect their fellow Americans. May the best man or woman win. Whoever gets the most votes is the right choice. All states and all voters are equally important. Let's soak in the historic nature of this race and see what happens. The lack of respect for one another I see on these post sometimes makes me wonder what America really is.

Way to go, stay out of this God awful mess.

Great job Gore,

Someone has to stay neutral. Clinton Machine vs Obama Express.

He can't endorse....he's far too busy with this global warming deal...and telling everyone its caused by humans...without explaining how it was far warmer thousands of years ago....(and far colder too) – it takes a man like Al Gore to explain why man-made CO2 has caused our planet to warm 1 degree in 100 years....and why even on his own charts does the heat rise first....then CO2 level after...(funny...cause and effect work differently in Al Gores world)

you see people Al's busy now...

I respect Gore. Maybe he should run for president!

Gore is one smart dude. I agree Gore may be the king/queen topper if a tie-breaker/brokered arrangement is required. It is too early in the process. I would imagine that unless one of the candidates emerges over the next primaries, Gore will keep his endorsement open. However, if one of the candidates does begin to emerge as clear leader in the nominee race, Gore may determine that the best strategy for the Dems in the general election would be an earlier endorsement.

Gore gets my vote, hes trying to unite the party unlike Hillary and Obama!

Who ever wins the dem vote I'm worried that the split will already be to large. I know if Obama get the nod I'm going McCane and I'm sure several Obama supporters will say the same if hilly gets the nod. A Clinton Obama or Obama Clinton Ticket is the only way, but I think the egos of both are too high... unlike Gore!

That man should have been President. 'Nuff said.

Endorsements don't matter and there shouldn't be an "agreement". Votes matter. Who ever gets the most votes and the most "pledged" deligates, should be our candidate.

We Latino's in Texas need to come together and vote obama. I was leaning toward hilary till I see she forced our fellow latino Solis Doyle to step down (fired for all purposes). Is this what we can expect. Hilary giving us Latino voters promises and then when she gets our vote, throwing us to the side because she got what she wanted. We need to come together as Latino's and make a stand. I am voting obama.
