Lots of speculation out there, he certainly has the ability to mobilize some voters either way.

Does he stay loyal to Team Clinton?

Howard Dean... no... wait...

AlGore got screwed over by the Clintons. I'd bet he endorses Obama.

I think it is either Obama or nobody, if he wanted to endorse Clinton he would've done it by now. I think it's a question of whether he feels so strongly as to break that loyalty, like Ted Kennedy did.

all Obama's missing is Al Gore to complete the triple crown endorsement of democratic losers.

Al Gore's not loyal to the Clintons, and that's why he lost in 2000... he did everything in the power to run against Bill Clinton.

The question is, why should Gore take any sides in a contested democratic nomination? The safe course for now is to endorse neither. Why piss off the losing side and whats to be gained by endorsing either?

If he feels strongly in what he is doing regarding environmental awareness, wouldn't he endorse the candidate who would most be able to help his cause?

Then again, he endorsed howard dean in 03, and look how that turned out

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure who Al Gore and his supporters will endorse as I'm not sure sure on his individual stance on Obama. However, I can see him coming out at the last minute against Hillary to endorse Obama. It is in his interest to wait in order for his endorsement to have the best effect.

Well... the last minute would be today or tomorrow. After Tuesday it won't matter. My guess is he's sitting this one out. We'll see...

Who is Al Gore and why should anyone care what he has to say?

Tell him to back to the UN and talk to them.
