…it wouldn’t make any difference unless he brought up something no one was aware of or had thought of.
Go Edwards! Thom Hartmann runs a quick poll of his listeners weekly as to their favorite candidate. I can’t recall previous results, but this week’s was Edwards, then Kucinich, Obama, Clinton. Even one Gore (who used to get a lot of votes) and one Ron Paul! I will certainly concur that those listening to TH are a liberal lot.
I voted for “strongly consider” because I would listen closly to his reasons and his endorsement would have a positive affect on me. But like most of us here, I think far too much about politics to really need help deciding.
Also, yes, Go Edwards! 🙂
Including “Go Edwards”.
But I dont know how much of an effect it would be. Like you, I dont need help deciding, but I would be interested in seeing who he does endorse.
Go Edwards.
He’d get butchered in a general. Where do I send money?
…primaries of 1992.
I do agree it would be risky, but don’t count your White House resident before he or she is voted in.

into my decision making process, but it would not be the sole reason I would decide to support a particular candidate.
There’s nothing scientific about my reasoning for this, but yes, it matters. To me. I have waited and waited for the Gore PR machine to announce his late arrival, thinking that all of this hoopla was just a stunt to surge support. Now that I’m 100% positive that we won’t see a Gore 2008 candidacy, I can settle for the second best (again my opinion) in that of a well-reasoned endorsement from a logical and earnest individual that happened to have a majority of the country’s support a few years ago…
With that said, does the endorsement matter from a brass-tacks/numbers perspective? I think it only matters if the endorsement is not Clinton. Clinton is the front-runner, there is a Clinton-Gore relationship; it’s basically expected. But if it comes in for Obama or Edwards, we’ll likely see some surge in support. To what extent? Who knows. If it’s Obama, it would be interesting to see what kind of effect Gore’s pop-culture icon status has on undecided and/or unregistered voters.
Finally, a pre-primary endorsement of this scale would be a pretty big deal. Any thoughts on the reasoning behind this?
Wouldn’t it be great if this endorsement happened to be the exact stunt I was looking for?
“Al Gore Announces his 2008 Democratic Endorsement: Himself.”
Dreams, dreams, dreams.
Talk about throwing a pole in the political wheels!
is all that great.
And you know who initiated the falling out? Tipper. She found Bill’s behavior with You-Know-Who to be so repugnant that she ordered Al to put some distance between himself and Bill.
Hillary?
🙂
would be shocking they hate each other.
..was on the level of Nancy Reagan and her hubby’s illustrious VP, Poppy Bush.
but it was kind of lukewarm, at best. I think Nancy was probably responsible for the lack of enthusiasm the Gipper showed.
By doing a late arrival, he would have the ability to build up interest, and not allow it to plateau too early. I remember seeing that reagan was a late comer to the primaries and it was for that very reason.
If it’s HRC everyone will say that was expected no matter his reasons. If it’s someone else, folks will call it sour grapes and he could have been President if he had only listened to/used Bill.
Gore’s endorsement will be seen as all about politics. The most curious endorsement effect I want to see played out is Opray’s of Obama. Altho her endorsement makes no difference in my support of HRC, it is the biggest wild card yet played in this primary campaign.
Oprah ranks above God for a lot of women in this country. A lot.
“If only he had joined a mainstream religion, like Oprahism or Voodoo.” – Professor Farnsworth regarding Bender the robot
the Oprah endorsement splits a lot of women, black, white and what have you, between Obama and Clinton? Might be good for Edwards. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I’m a woman and couldn’t care less about Oprah. I wouldn’t mind Edwards with room for Gore in the cabinet.
if he doesn’t run himself.
I think a Gore endoresement will matter significantly to voters who still haven’t entirely made up their minds.
A Gore endorsement can most help to deliver liberal/progressive (and some independent) voters to candidates now viewed by those folks with some skepticism, esp HRC and Obama. Gore would also help Edwards both with voters and the media by giving him credibility as a heavy-weight contender.
But what I would really watch in a Gore endorsement is what commitments he gets in return regarding energy/global warming policy, or having a seat at the table in formulating policy with the next administration.
If he won’t run himself (which I still prefer), hopefully he will leverage his stature to exert maximum benefit toward sustainable and non-fossil fuel energy policy.
worked wonders for Dean’s campaign….
Endorsments don’t mean jack. Gore didn’t help dean, Howard Stern didn’t help Kerry and Oprah wont help Obama if anything in a general election I can see the Oprah endoresment hurting.
How in Hades will Oprah’s endorsement work against Obama? She’s an institution with few detractors and a whole lot of viewers.
OTOH, I do agree that a Gore endorsement will provide at best a nudge.
will be very turned off by an Oprah endorsement, they will also be turned off by Obama himself but thats a different story.
…might force them!
Just kidding, sort of. Until you hang out with female friends and coworkers, you don’t understand the power of Oprah. Fortunately, it’s generally for the good.
What would it be about Edwards that would cause Gore to give him the nod?
…is the only one of the top three promising to shake things up.
I think if Gore were to be the president, we’d see a lot of changes, especially in scientific leadership.
An endorsement may be not so much issues, but a general sense of where the heart is. Overlooking the Clinton presidency, Hillary might be too close to the Big Money, Obama doesn’t seem to have a path yet.
Mi dos centavos,
Same as the old boss…
A trial lawyer and union shill “shaking things up”?
Bwahahahahah!
Against the corporatists that have taken over this nation, and those who don’t even understand how they are getting screwed.
Like some posters here.
