OK, I'll bite...

Gore likely lost the election in 2000 due to the Clintons. And now he's reduced to flogging films in Cannes. There no love lost between the Gores and the Clintons. Obama has to balance the "This is our time"...."Yes, we can!" schpiel with the reality of being endorsed by the Beltway Insiders, so he may not want another endorsement from a Kennedy or a Shriver....or a Gore.

There is also the outside possibility, although faint, that with a nod to his former VP status and respect for the administration he served, that Gore may have enough class to refrain from endorsing anybody. With the exception of his Bearded Period, Gore has always displyed a bit of class that his father would be proud of, while the Clintons appear to be one Grape Nehi away from the jaw harp factory. Gore's endorsement conundrum is an unexpected encumberment that, IMHO, is another reason spouses (of either sex), of former presidents, should be barred from running, in the event they lack the class or breeding to recognize how utterly complicated it becomes to have a former president...as a spouse in the White House.

I mean, who in the world, with any leadership credentials, would want to share the VP spot with Bill?
