Yeah, what's the big deal about a Gore endorsement now? The Dem primary is over.

You guys read into these things too much.
What it boils down to is another day of big free media coverage for Obama, while McCain gets a few inches on page 10.

I think it's the Hillary fan base that may need motivating. Not sure that Gore has that ability.
IMO, the real reason for a Gore endorsement was to move Super D's to support Obama or Clinton in the primary. But again, that's over with.

It's just a nice media coverage grabber, oddly timed given that McCain's campaign is still trying to spin the Clayton fund raising incident. It probably would have been better to let the news continue running that story and let it further offend the Clinton female supporters.
The general pundit feel is that Gore wants to stay out of politics hence the late endorsement.
On a personal note, I thought it was a well delivered speech: nice delivery, short simple phrases, punched the proper intonations, good enthusiasm, and more of his southern accent than we ever saw in 2000. If he had been able to deliver speeches like this back then, he probably would have connected better with the working class and won the presidency.
