Well, we've endured Gore this long. Now we'll have to endure Dean too. At least until 11/04.

OK, but refuse to adore him.

I just posted on a similar thread, but I'll sort of say it again right here. What does Dean sorely lack and need to wrap up the nomination? What can Gore's endorsement provide? Southern, and more importantly, Black voters.

I think Gore is giving Hillary a little slapdown while endorsing her, shall we say, opponent, Dean. Gore makes a deal: I'll endorse you now and give you the 2000 blue votes. You name me as your VP running mate. We bring memories of Election 2000 to the forefront and keep the hate alive.

Also, Dean is now trying to change the direction of discussion from anti-WAR-Bush to anti-DOMESTIC ISSUES-Bush.
