Al Gore green lights Barack Obama
Ken 
Today was the day when Al Gore finally threw the full weight of his support behind Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama. But how much weight does Al Gore really have to throw? I would say that the endorsements from both Obama and Edwards are pretty much par for the course. They keep the Obama campaign on track. The endorsements most likely do not come as any surprise to the Obama campaign.
It seems to me that the campaign needs to keep the big “M” going. The “momentum” that they gained from Obama becoming the nominee was reinforced by these two endorsements. Many people say that Gore should have done this during the Obama primary campaign. What good would it have served in the overall goal of getting rid of GWB? The endorsement coming at this point does much toward continuing the momentum of the Obama campaign and uniting the Democratic party.

Al Gore still has a lot of respect from the environmentalists. His endorcement will go a long way there.
I agree with you there. I also find it interesting that he has not ruled out Gore as a VP candidate. I think we all may be in for a shocker when he chooses his VP.
