MANCHESTER, N.H., Dec. 8 — Former Vice President Al Gore will endorse Howard Dean for the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday, Democratic sources said Monday, a move that could cement Dean’s position in the fight for the party’s nod.

GORE, WHO LOST to President Bush in the disputed 2000 election, will endorse Dean, the former governor of Vermont, in New York City on Tuesday and then travel with him to Iowa, the site of the Jan. 19 caucuses that kick off the nominating process.

The development was first reported by The Associated Press, which quoted a Democratic source close to Gore, and confirmed independently by NBC News. The Democratic source said Dean would return from Iowa in time for the Democratic debate Tuesday night in New Hampshire.

We should extend a carrot to Senator Lieberman and encourage him to bring his pro-Iraq-War and pro-Israel views on over to our big tent.

It would be a heckofa way for Holy Joe to get back at those who just backstabbed him with this endorsement...

[Lando Lincoln]

There is room in the tent for ol' Joe! He may not be presidential timbre in style, but he has some good points - better suited to the tent with the elephants.

Holy Joe, the DINO.

I like him. That proves he's no Democrat.

Don't you just love to see them imploding?

[Sam Cree]

"Gore endorsing Dean"...damning him with faint praise, basically.

Actually it is Gore spitting on McAwful and the Hildebeast...

Dean isn't a puppet to the status quo Dims...isn't under the Clinton thumb...

I suspect that Gore has no great love for the clintons. He stuck loyally to them for eight years, called clinton the greatest president in history in his moment of need, and sullied his reputation, and in the end it was all for what?

Al's daddy promised him that after he grew up he would be president one day, but the clintons screwed it up.

So, I see this move as a defiance of the clintons, not a repudiation of Lieberman. Hillary is going to be very, very angry about this endorsement, because she has given strict orders that Dean is not to be allowed to get out in front of the pack.

[Cicero]

Great minds.

Makes sense.

Dean and Gore

Just two tight ass White Boys lookng for Soul Food in Harlem!

[P-Marlowe]

Lieberman is the only democrat candidate who loves his country more than he wants to pander to the left. He is the only democrat candidate who has the temperment to be president. Not that he should be. But if he became president it would not be the end of the world. If any of these other clowns were to be elected, it very well could be the end of the world.

[CMOTB]

Hmm, I didn't realise he HAD respect for Algore, I thought he just went along for the ride as VP.

Probably because Lieberman is for the war and Dean/Algore are against it. Could there be a Dean Gore ticket in the future?

What? He didn't call it an historic non-endorsement?

[South40]

Gore endorsing Dean, not Lieberman

That's sure to confuse the average gore supporter.

[CaptRon]

Shows that Algore merely used him last election. Get it yet, Joe?

[CMOTB]

LOL! I just love Photoshop. Good work.

[Petronski]

Red Howard must be moist with excitement.

Exactly, this has nothing to do with Lieberman. Gore is still pissed at Clinton.
