ADVERTISEMENTS

The theory on the Gore-endorses-Obama (highly speculative) story is here.

What would be the risk? There?s no chance that his endorsement would be followed by an embarrassing Dean-like collapse; Obama has already notched wins.
Climate change won?t suddenly disappear from the agenda if he loses. And nobody?s going to take away the golden statuette.
On the other hand, Obama is now close enough to a big win that Gore?s endorsement could easily put him over the top. Gore is beloved among Democratic primary voters.
His staunch denials have been unusually effective in tamping down speculation that he?ll endorse, so an announcement would be earthshaking and guaranteed to dominate the airwaves until the February 5 primaries.
Take Tennessee, Gore?s home state, which could wind up making the difference. Democratic polling there is somewhat sparse, especially that done after John Edwards?s withdrawal.
But Tennessee looks to be a state in which Clinton currently holds a lead?that is, unless a certain favorite son were to endorse her opponent.

Now THAT would dominate a news cycle.
