Waiting For That Final Nail

With John Edwards endorsement of Barack Obama, some Democrats are looking to Al Gore to finally step in and end this madness:

“The Al Gore watch starts now,” said Ken Goldstein, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

Gore, who is one of the party’s superdelegates, has indicated he won’t give his endorsement until the primary contest is finished. His spokeswoman, Kalee Kreider, said yesterday that Gore had no further comment.

Obama said he has spoken to Gore “periodically” over the past several months about policies and ideas.

“I’m not really pushing for an endorsement,” Obama told reporters on his plane last night as he flew to Chicago. “I’d love to have it, but when you’ve won the Nobel Peace Prize, making an endorsement politically is maybe a step down.”
