Gore throwing his support to Dean at this hour were the embarrassing flailings of a dolt trying desperately to avoid his free fall into insignificance.
It's ineptness was only surpassed by the mainstream media's attempt to make it significant.
Shame on all of them.
I don't think Gore was endorsing a presidential candidate. On the contrary, I think he was throwing his weight behind the next potential leader of the DNC. IMO, there's a great power struggle for the DNC leadership going on behind the scenes and Gore shot the first public salvo. I'm waiting with great anticipation to see what the HMS Clinton fires back.

Is Dean smart enough to know what had just been placed around his neck?
