Reply #20: I honestly think that had Gore endorsed one of the others this early

then we would have been bitching and moaning and making over the top(subverting) accusations. At the same time, the campaign receiving the endorsement would be celebrating with just as much enthusiasm as the Dean camp has.

It's an indicator of our passion to produce a winner next fall. We all know the stakes are higher than they've been in our lifetimes. We all want the best candidate to take on Bush. We have different ideas of who that person should be.

I'm ecstatic that Gore will endorse Dean. I've felt that his last 2 Moveon speeches gave us some clues that he felt we needed a change in the Party. His endorsing this early just shows that he no longer believes in politics under the old rules. He's listening, it's more than can be said of many in our Party.
