2. No, he wouldn't be on my shit list.
But it wouldn't make me any more likely to vote for her, either. He gets to have his opinion; I get to have mine.

3. Nothing.I could care less who endorses her.I would be surprised if he does
but that is his choice, nothing to do with me.

4. "If Gore endorses Hillary, what will your reaction be?"


About the same as it is with your endorsement of her.

BFD.

5. I'll look for the Beatles reunion tour with Lennon and Harrison playing...
It's not going to happen. Count on it. I'd be glad to wager...

6. I don't see Gore endorsing a candidate in the primaries
but I'm sure he'll endorse the nominee...

And if he endorsed Hillary, I would respect his choice but disagree - the same as I feel with Wes Clark's endorsement.

10. Bemusement, but no shit list for Gore
Only thing is, Hillary needs to prove her ability to fight global climate change. I'd kinda like to keep the Gulf stream going if it's all the same with you, and I'm sure everyone in the UK and Ireland feels the same way - they have no interest in seeing their nations either submerged or turned into ice cubes or both.

12. The only person I see Gore potentially endorsing during the
primary is Barack Obama or maybe John Edwards. I think it's unlikely that he endorses Hillary during the primary. Now afterwards if she wins the nomination is another thing.

Because he's going to run himself -- I hope.

18. counting your chickens again?
You seem to have this habit of doing that.

Personally, If Mr. Gore is smart - he'll stay away from endorsing anyone. He's not going to screw up his work to get global warming addressed by getting involved in pre-primary politics.

19. He will eventually endorse the nominee.
His endorsement will be more important than President Clinton's.

Take that however you wish.

36. Depends on when he does it
I want to see the process played out, some primary votes cast before major figures start handing out endorcements. Gore endorced Dean before the first votes were cast and I got the sense from an interview I saw with him that he won't be doing that again.

I'm sure he'll support whoever the Dem candidate is but will hold off endorcing anyone anytime soon.

37. Being an independent minded person
who admires Gore but I don't forget he's mortal....I would be surprised and disappointed. It would not influence my vote.

but personally I think he is upright guy with no bad shit in his past....I think he would rather eat dirt than help her.

:yoiks:

I would truly be shocked by such an endorsement.

My relative trust level in his integrity would drop by several degrees.

40. Gore can't . He just can't do that. Tipper dislikes her. He does as well.
Does the Gore family really want the Clinton's to have another 8 years in the White House, especially when Gore got shafted in 2000, and got zero years???
Clintons: 16 possible years.
Gores: zero years.

I bet just the thought of that drives Al and Tipper up the wall.

41. Besides being a betrayal of everything he wrote in "Assault on Reason,"
It'll just be another in a LONG list of disappointments. Nothing more.

It'll be nice if he doesn't, but I've gotten used to the disappointments by now. Wes Clark's endorsement was the end of my innocence about all things political, for sure.
