Sources are saying not to expect Al Gore to endorse Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama any time during the primary season. Considering his revered placed amongst Democrats, do you think this is the right choice?

<sigh>  I don't love the whole endorsement system.  But to the point of the question, I think it is the right choice, but not because of his "revered place amongst Democrats."  Does he actually have a revered place?  And even if he does, I kind of think his 'place' right now is doing his good "Inconvenient truth" work, which, honestly, I think works a LOT better if he doesn't get tied down in party politics.

the difference between him and me is that I'm not officially endorsing a candidate either, but nobody gives a damn.  :)

What is your reaction to the Super Tuesday results?

Ugh.  Too much input, and not enough input.

I whine and kvetch and whinge about not having sophisticated enough choices, and about the two-party system, and about the all-or-nothing nature of American politics, and I whinge and kvetch and whine about even attempting to track the results in twenty-odd states at once, and that the field hasn't winnowed itself far enough down yet.

On a related note, I'm fairly disappointed in the dirty party infighting.  The other candidates from your own party are competition for the top slot, yes, but they're also, in theory, friendly competition at the minimum, and potential allies down the road.  I'd much rather see you disagree where you disagree, and leave the name-calling for the actual race.
