I think you're reading more into my comment than was intended. Gore may well endorse a candidate. But, as someone who will strive to influence whomever wins the election, I doubt he will endorse until after the primary.

I'm pretty sure al75 was using humor and imitating what the MSM and others will say in light of Gore's win.

Getting into the fray lessens his campaign if he states, as he does, that this is a moral issue and not a political one. Just as Bono with his AIDS in Africa cause works with the leadership before him and not the one he may wish he had, I believe Gore will stay out of the tit for tat of individual campaigns and focus on his cause.

I don't expect him to endorse a candidate in the primary. His cause would have nothing to gain if he made the wrong pick.

I often think that the measures necessary to clean up the mess left by our current president will make the next president so unpopular that they will only serve one term. Gore's current efforts are long term and he will most likely have even greater ability to effect the debate world wide with a president sympathetic to the cause here at home. By 2012 the next step will be to implement his efforts as a world leader. Gore 2012?

An addendum to your no.3 option. They, perhaps, not only wanted to send a signal to the AGs but also to congress by telling them "Look what we can do without your confirmation."
