Report: Gore Will NOT Endorse During Primaries

While the Democratic contenders for POTUS camp out at John Edwards door and promise God only knows what to God only knows what SuperDelegates, that grand prize, the Big Kahuna, the golden ring of that carousel called Al Gore will just have to wait!

CNN's Political Ticker's sources say that his multiple-awardness will withhold his endorsement until after the primaries are over:

He's the most prominent Democrat yet to take a side in the presidential election, but two sources close to Al Gore tell us not to expect the former vice president to endorse either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama any time during the primary season.

The sources say Gore talks with both Clinton and Obama, and is on good terms with both. But with Sen. John Kerry and Bill Clinton both aligned to a candidate, Gore has a role to serve as the neutral elder statesman in the party.

In the meantime, the candidates and their surrogates can keep mining the Supers ™ for convention votes, like this 21 y/o SuperDelegate from Wisconsin, Jason Rae:

From ABC News:

Rae was elected as a DNC member at the Wisconsin state party convention in June 2004. He was 17 years old at the time but there are no party rules that say a DNC member has to be of voting age. Rae ran against and defeated the president of the state firefighters' union and a state legislator.

Rae has been called on his cell phone by former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright who tried to woo him to the Clinton side and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, who was pushing for Rae to endorse Obama.
