CNN) -- Former Vice President Al Gore endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Monday, urging Americans to reject what he called the Bush administration's legacy of "incompetence, negligence and failure."
In Detroit on Monday, Al Gore endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president.
"Americans simply cannot afford to continue the policies of the last eight years for another four," Gore, the party's 2000 presidential nominee, told Obama supporters at a rally in Detroit, Michigan.
Perceived as a senior statesman in the Democratic party, Gore brings a certain force to Obama's campaign, political analysts have said.

I have to admit Gore for VP would be a perfect fit considering Obama's relationship with Jim Johnson and Perseus LLC, and their heavy investments into alternative energy stocks. But I don't think Gore on the ticket is going to help get a lot of votes, especially considering he couldn't even win his own state in 2000.
Don't forget that the 2000 was Gore's to lose as the incumbent from a popular, 2-term administration. I think Barry O. needs somebody who comes across as a little less bitter.
