OBAMARAMA

[al-gor-uh-foh-bee-uh], noun.  “Fear among some Democrats that the immensely popular former Vice President is on the verge of endorsing Barack Obama.”

A nasty case of this condition is reportedly sweeping through the Clinton campaign, according to Steve Clemons:

A well-placed spouse of a Clinton campaign insider just told me that a rumor is spreading like wild fire in Hillaryland that Al Gore is going to endorse Barack Obama.

My source emphasizes that this is rumor and may just be paranoia and hyperventilation of the campaign, but it’s important to know that this rumor is out there. Another source of mine inside Obamaland has told me that they have been working very hard to secure Gore’s public support and trying numerous avenues to “encourage” him.

Fingers crossed.
