Gore Endorses Obama

At a Obama Campaign rally last night in Michigan, former Vice President and Nobel Prize Winner Al Gore, took the stage and endorsed Senator Barack Obama's bid for the Presidency. Several questions sprang into my mind as I watched footage from the event. First like many others, I wondered if this was a good or bad thing for Obama's Campaign. Personally I think that Gore's endorsement is virtually meaningless, and neither good nor bad. I also wondered why a few pundits were speculating that Obama might ask Gore to be his running mate. Obama would have to be absolutely crazy to go that route. Would Al Gore even want the VP job.....AGAIN? I mean come on, been there done that right? Gore would be transformed in to the " number two" character form the "Austin Powers" Movies. Besides Gore has a good gig going with the whole Global Warming thing, earning him the most respect he has ever enjoyed. Lastly after hearing Gore speak, I realized that he has not changed much over the years. Gore drools on in the same boring and nonsensical manner as he always has done in the past. Here is some of what Gore had to say in his endorsement of Obama; ""In looking back over last eight years, I can tell you we have already learned one important fact since the year 2000. Take it from me elections matter,” he said. “If you think the next appointments to our Supreme Court are important, you know that elections matter. If live in city of New Orleans, you know that elections matter. If you or a member of your family are serving in active military, the National Guard or reserves, you know that elections matter. If you’re a wounded veteran, you know that elections matter.” What the hell does all of that mean anyway? Elections may matter as Al Gore pointed out many times, however politically Gore does not. Imagine Obama selecting Al Gore for the VP spot? I suppose if Obama ever needs to bring down the excitement and enthusiasm surrounding his campaign, he could select Al Gore.
