My Theory, IF the superdelegate vote can remain SECRET, Gore will pick:
Obama. He doesn't want to publicly come off as a traitor to Bill Clinton, since he was Bill Clinton's VP. He is waiting until whatever this mess is going on with
MI and FL before he commits TO OBAMA. He wants to do it in a way so that it wont be perceived that he is "betraying" the Clintons. He wants to do it
in the light of party solidarity and unity.
My theory.
Please rip it apart or endorse. Thank you.

1. not rippin'

Where were the Clintons when Gore needed them?

I'm betting he does not feel the loyalty.

2. Of course, I'm just speculating...

...but I don't think Al Gore gives a rat's patootey what the Clintons think.

Al was in DC long enough--and away from DC long enough---to know how things work
and to know that everything has completely gone to hell. I would say that Al Gore
is pretty much on board with types like Seymour Hersch and Keith Olberman. He
understands very well that the neocon scum are destroying our democracy, and that
many Democrats have been folded into the fray.

He knows the score. He knows the Clintons are neocon thugs.

I don't think he's worried about what they think. I think he'll endorse Obama
and be proud to do so.

He's a very diplomatic, wise gentlemen who won't get in the middle of anything.

However, he totally understands what's going on--and probably doesn't worry too
much about what the Clintons think.

I can only imagine what Gore thinks. He's got the inside scoop on stuff we
probably couldn't even handle. And he's also got a strong conscience, and being
away from it all and watching our Constitution swirl down the toilet--has probably
left him feeling burdened and sickened.
