I also thought it was interesting that Al Gore endorsed Howard Dean, leaving former running mate Joe Leiberman out in the cold. I've not read much of this, but I wonder if Al's thinking back to his own campaign and how the more liberal Dems voted for Nader. The flip side, of course, is the possibility of losing more conservative Dems who don't want the guy who legalized gay marriage in the White House. This might be a case where the Democratic dads who voted for Reagan have Democratic sons who vote for Bush.
