Kiss of Death

Al Gore: Dec. 9, 2003:

Howard Dean really is the only candidate who has been able to inspire at the grassroots level all over this country the kind of passion and enthusiasm for democracy and change and transformation of America that we need in this country ... So I'm very proud and honored to endorse Howard Dean to be the next president of the United States of America ... He was the only major candidate who made the correct judgment about the Iraq war. And he had the insight and the courage to say and do the right thing.
Today Al Gore announced that he will give several millions of dollars to support the campaign of John Kerry, a man who, in Gore's stated opinion, has been unable to inspire passion and enthusiasm at the grassroots level, made incorrect judgments about the Iraq war, and lacked either the insight and/or the courage to say and/or do the right thing.

For whatever reason, the Kerry campaign website has no mention of Gore's announcement at this time.

All too often an endorsement from that bloke has been the kiss of death, that's why.

uh, does this mean Al Gore won't be buying that news channel?

or......

is Al Gore trying to get back in the good graces of the party 'greybeards' since Kerry is wandering around like a wounded dog instead of running a campaign?
