I don't quite understand what is meant by this "caved in to him."   
Presumably Obama
would be the vice-presidential candidate on a ticket whose main  
programmatic point would be the need for a massive governmental, and  
international, program to at least stop ongoing global warming.  How  
would this be "caving in?"  Certainly Obama (whose campaign has been  
marked by the avoidance of anything even slightly radical) has  
advanced not a single program that he would have to abandon.  And he  
would still be in line to be the first Black President (since Harding)  
perhaps as early as 2012 (since the spirit, if not the letter, of the  
22nd Amendment stands against anyone  being elected President more  
than twice).  But if it means that Gore wouldn't allow his name to be  
entered in nomination unless Obama asked him to, I would have to agree  
with that expectation. In any event, it would make no political sense  
for Gore and Obama to adopt that strategy until much closer to the  
convention.

By the way, Obama has said he speaks with Gore "every three or four  
days."  Have they been coordinating strategy?  Certain it is that  
Obama, by destroying the Clintons and concentrating "MSM" Republican  
fire on himself, seems to be playing a John The Baptist role for Gore!
