Gore Endorses Dean

The AP reports Al Gore will endorse Howard Dean for president, " a dramatic move that could cement Dean's position in the fight for the party's nod."

Gore "has agreed to endorse Dean in Harlem in New York City on Tuesday and then travel with the former Vermont governor to Iowa, sight of the Jan. 19 caucuses which kickoff the nominating process."

It's the biggest political story of the Democratic campaign so far, and the coverage is extensive:

The New York Times says "It was a move of striking -- and discretionary -- boldness that would have been all but unheard of for the cautious, calculating candidate Mr. Gore once was."

The Washington Post notes Gore's move gives "the insurgent candidate the kind of establishment backing his campaign has been lacking."

The Boston Globe reveals that "Dean worked on securing the endorsement for more than a year."

The Hartford Courant says calls the endorsement "a stinging personal and political setback to Joe Lieberman."
