"Gore's endorsement could also give Dean an additional foothold in the African-American community - a key part of the Democratic base, whose votes could be pivotal in early primary states such as South Carolina. In his remarks at the announcement, Dean drew attention to the fact that the event was being held in Harlem, and he stressed the importance of recognizing those 'people that are with us all the the time.' "Although Dean's campaign has been criticized in the past for having mostly white supporters, he has been increasing his outreach to African-Americans lately. The nod from Gore likely aids that effort."It's not going to have the same impact that a Clinton endorsement, for example, would have," says David Bositis of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. But 'it certainly helps.'" Harlem... isn't that where President Clinton's office is? Oh, and those "people that are with us all the time" are probably waiting for the field to narrow enough to get behind ONE GUY. That's what I'm still waiting for, however impressed I am by President Gore's endorsement.
