Obama and Gore Sitting in a Tree . . .

Earlier today it was acknowledged that Obama would consider Al Gore to join his cabinet if Gore wished to entertain such situation. Obama claims, "I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this [climate change] problem."

He adds that he "regularly" consults with Gore about climate change issues. When prompted on who Gore would endorse for the 2008 Democratic Primary Election, he noted that he's, "tryin' to stay out of it."

This is intresting noting what I speculated earlier this week about Gore's role in this primary and who he most likely would endorse if he could. I stated that Gore is a closet Obama-Supporter who will not endorse Obama until he gains the nomination. The dillemma for Gore is that he does not want to slap the Clinton Campaign in the face by not supporting her. So instead of openly insulting the Clintons' and their relationship he will remain neutral until there is nominated candidate. I argue though that Gore's position in remaining neutral in this situation implies that he supports Obama because there is no reason why he would not endorse Clinton unless . . . he really did not want to endorse her over Obama, at least just yet.
