It was a great endorsement, but had the effect of galvanizing DC insider efforts to take Dean down.

I think a Gore endorsement would be great, and it is a safe time to do so now, but it should have gone to Edwards, the only one who would have deserved it based on his superior environmental positions.

As it is, I could see him making an endorsement, but it would have to be made on other issues not environmental in nature. Both Clinton and Obama are for coal with 20% reduction in CO2 emissions, Obama is pro-nuclear, while Clinton is an "agnostic". I don't think he will endorse anyone based on that. It would send the wrong message at a time when he's trying to gather support for a green movement. An endorsement might make him look like a sell out, even if not made based on environmental positions.
