It's tonight. One thing I don't get: all of these pundits today snarking at Gore's post-primary endorsement with statements like "not exactly a profile in courage" at this late date. Do they have any idea how many dozens and dozens of phone calls Obama and Clinton, and their surrogates, have weighed this man down with over the past several months, begging for his support? It's not so easy to repeatedly turn these people down, especially when party loyalists are shouting that your endorsement could bring an end to this intraparty feud.
However, had he endorsed Obama, it just would have looked like bandwagoning, and seriously pissed off the Clinton base. Had he endorsed Clinton, it could have dragged out the primary even longer. Gore made the right call to stay his hand until it could assist with the more urgent task of party unity.
