Poll question: Gore Endorses Dean-What Does It Mean To You & Your Candidate?
Al Gore plans to endorse Howard Dean tomorrow. What does it mean for you and your support for your candidate?

2. Allen, I hope you're joking!
I demand that you stay here in the lounge until the feeling not to vote passes.

5. This can help Dean in the primaries for sure BUT
what difference does it make beyond that? It doesn't change Dean or his perception among the voters, though it may lead more of the party pros to jump on board. That should satisfy those who really thought Dean represented something new and innovative in politics. Same old, same old.

Or as the Who used to sing, "here comes the new boss, same as the old boss"

Us ABB folks in the Clark camp support the candidate we feel has the best possible chance to eke out a win over an incumbent president in a time of war. The Gore endorsement of Dean does nothing to change that.

I am surprised that Gore didn't endorse the man he chose for his own running mate, but that's politics, I guess. Nothing succeeds like success. Same old, same old.

I would suggest to our Deaniac friends that a man who managed to lose his own state to an illiterate clown from Texas with no credentials at all, is hardly the political guru of the ages.

I like Al Gore but if he had run a decent campaign in 2000 the Supreme Court's role would have been limited to swearing him in. Instead he frittered away state after state, and what happened happened.

Now he's back. Good luck, Howie!
