He taught his candidacy for President will be ruined if he will ask Bill help, that was his big mistake.

It is pathetic really. We finally have hope and YOU will not make this happen. You should campaign for Obama not only endorse him. I am very disappointed with your decision.

And no, this isn't a ploy so that he remains an option for VP regardless of who wins. Al Gore is done with politics. Like Former Presidents Carter, H.W. Bush, and Clinton, he has been able to accomplish a lot of good things after leaving office, and he's not going to return to the beltway shenanigans (though he would make a fantastic Secretary of the Interior).

He's pretty much regarded as one of (if not the only one left) the most active Democrats "clean enough" to align with the people's current issues, and with no apparent endorsement, which may come handy for another shot at the US VP seat in 2008 - keeping him more connected with people and building a good track record of leadership. He has a well-known agenda, which is sweeping Corporate America in terms of corporate alignment to current time (I'm speaking of non other than the Green Initiative); a sweep that's coming after the Diversity wave. Perhaps, this is a subtle strategic preparedness to get ready for 2016?? Sounds far fetched to you? I beg to differ. Believe or not, Clinton and Obama started their campaign way before we all knew it. Everything starts from within, then erupts out of us through good timing. Great leaders see opportunity when no one is thinking of it as yet, and make their moves two-three steps ahead of time.

You should not forget who was on your side when you were trying to get elected. I am sure Obama was nowhere your campaign to help you out the Clintons were right there with you. You know Hillary is the stronger candidate but because of this media hype for Obama, which I think is being pushed by the republicans, democrats are jumping on the bandwagon without looking at the fact that the wool is being pulled over their eyes.
