I know it's tempting to speculate about a delicious rift between Gore and Clinton, or possibly Jiminy Joe Lieberman, but maybe we are reading too much into this.

Remember gang: With AlGore, it's all about AlGore!!! Sometimes I get the impression that AlGore will do anything to get his name and face back into the news. And it worked, today everybody's talking about AlGore.

This should be on everybody's mind for oh, say, well maybe today...

Gore's endorsement is a perfect plan by the Klintoons and Dean being the perfect lemming has no idea what is going on. Plus we already know that Gore cannot think of this on his own. Let's analyze this a bit further.

With Dean getting the nomination he gets to choose the next leader of the DNC. That man will be Al Gore. We already know that Dean will get rid of McAuliffe because he is a Klintoon man. But let's delve deeper.

Everyone in teh Democratic party knows McAuliffe has done a miserable job over the last several years but is too powerful to get out of there as well as being friends with the Klintoons. He lost congress in 1994, couldn't get it back in 98 or 02 as well as losing the Senate. The way I see it, McAuliffe is thrown out, the Klintoons do not take the blame, Gore gets the DNC nod, Dean gets his clock cleaned by Bush in 2004 and Hillary is now in position for 2008 with no one in the way. A Gore/Hillary primary in 2008 will be expensive and messy and no one in the Democratic party wants that. Everyone will want party unity and they will gather around Hillary.

I believe Lieberman has been told about this and went along. He has no shot at being the nominee and rather than continue a losing battle, be the sacrifical lamb and take the ambassador post to Israel as a reward. Wesley Clark will be secretary of either state or defense. The rest of clowns will get either tidbits or nothing at all.

And so you have it.
