I think it's interesting that people are putting so much stock in Gore's endorsement. I mean he looked at the prospects of beating Bush, didn't like the odds and folded. Now he's throwing his support behind Dean in a race that he believed/maybe still believes is unwinnable.

It does strike me as odd (or at least totally inconsiderate) that he didn't tell Lieberman about the endorsement before it was leaked to the press. And then Gore's people were shocked that he didn't return Gore's calls after the word was nationally reported. There's obviously something going on behind the scenes here. A payoff to Gore in the form of an Ambassadorship should Dean win perhaps. I just don't think Gore has a future in Presidential politics. Unless Hillary is going to come from the shadows and pull Gore in as a running mate in this election, I think he's done.
