More on Gore from the Wash Post

"This is huge," said Donna Brazile, Gore's 2000 campaign manager. "This gives Dean the credibility he's been lacking, from someone from the inside of the party. This will give Dean a tremendous boost in locking down the nomination."

The Wash Post article hints that Gore may have endorsed Dean as a way to unify the Democratic party behind one candidate. (And what a candidate!) The flip side of that is Dean can look forward to almost a full year of Republican attacks.
