Reply #36: My guess is that Gore will endorse Edwards

[Apollo11]

Tom - I agree that it looks like Gore doesn't really want to make another run for the Whitehouse.

Gore is making all kinds of commitments to deliver speeches all across the world (London in late November, Sweden in January 2008). Plus he is writing his next book "The Path To Survival" due in April 2008.

Gore has said that he is likely to endorse one of the Democratic candidates.

Here's what Gore said to Larry King on CNN (May 22nd):

Gore on Hillary Clinton:
"She is running a very forceful campaign. She has earned the strong support of her constituents in New York."

Gore on Barack Obama:
"He is also running a very strong campaign. I think that he is appealing to a lot of people who like the sense that he's talking about issues in a fresh way. And, you know, he has a lot of support."

Gore on John Edwards:
"Likewise, running a strong campaign. Put out a lot of very thoughtful policy statements and positions. I think you can see the strength that he's gained from having been around the track last time."


My feeling is that if he doesn't run himself, then Al Gore is most likely to endorse John Edwards.

The League of Conservation Voters has described Edwards' plan as the "most comprehensive global warming plan of any presidential candidate to date."

Of course Al Gore is better-qualified for the Presidency than John Edwards.

But if John Edwards wins Iowa, I honestly think he can go all the way.
