Gore For Obama?

February 1, 2008

Why not? If Al is going to do anything to get himself somewhat back into the political mix, then there could be nothing better for him to do than back Obama NOW- before Super Tuesday. He’s surely not going toi back Hillary and staying OUT of the endorsement game won’t help his cause down the road.

Global warming is his issue but politics is his second love!

Listen. Barack Obama has momentum. He won big time in South Carolina. He posted another astonishing fundraising total of some $32,000,000.00 for January alone. Gallup reports that he’s pulled to within four points of Hillary Clinton. And Ted Kennedy’s endorsement Monday had the feel of history about it. Only one endorsement could be bigger—and if Al Gore is going to pull the trigger, you have to think he’ll do so in the next 72 hours.

Whatcha waiting for Gore?

I’ve already done the math for next Tuesday, so who want to wait until June? Gore has said he won’t endorse anyone Why should he?. He’s won an Oscar and a Nobel. The cause he crusaded for has become central to the public conversation in a way even he could never have imagined.

All of these are good reasons to stay out of the fray. But they’re equally good reasons to jump into it.

Obama is now close enough to a big win that Gore’s endorsement could easily put him over the top. Gore is oved among Democratic primary voters. And Tennessee would be helpful to Obama, Gore’s home state. Democratic polling there is somewhat sparse, especially that done after John Edwards’s withdrawal. But Tennessee looks to be a state in which Clinton currently holds a lead—that is, unless a certain favorite son were to endorse her opponent.

The rumor mill also has it that Obama and Gore have been speaking regularly. So, is that why Obama has not visited the state since June. It may be simply that he does not plan on competing there. Or it may be that he’s been waiting for a special occasion. That’s my bet!
