It’s already a strange campaign.

But what if, post-Super Tuesday, the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama remains as tight as it’s been?

And what if - you knew this was coming eventually - you then threw Al Gore into the mix?

Delegates are awarded in proportion to the vote — not winner-take-all, so if Clinton and Obama continue to split the vote in many states, this could potentially last awhile.

If it does, and they continue to attack each other, there just might be an opening for someone to step in and unify the party.

Like, say, Al Gore.

The former V.P. insists he won’t run, though in his last statement on the matter, he said, “I see no reason to rule it out entirely.”

It’s worth noting, as high-profile endorsements are piling up, that Al Gore has not backed either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama so far.

Don’t expect him to, either. A recent report indicates that an endorsement by Al Gore is looking extremely unlikely.

Obviously, the reason for that is up for debate.

An Oscar, a Nobel Prize and massive amounts of free media have catapulted Gore to a new national and international status that could be tarnished by taking sides - especially the losing one - in the primary battle.

Perhaps Gore, who recently spoke out in favor of gay marriage, believes he can do the most good for the world if he remains out of the fray. Or maybe he’s still weighing his own entry into the race of a lifetime.
