Al Gore, through no particular prompting or prodding or anything else, he's released a video on Current, a network that he co-owns, openly advocating his support for same-sex marriage.

Why on Earth would he do this? I think the answer here is he's quietly getting himself on record before the Convention in the hopes that there will be a brokered convention and he'll be held up as a compromise candidate. Or, he might try to get the nomination from the floor.

Either way, Al Gore is still my president. And with my displeasure* with the remaining three candidates, I'll probably wind up writing him in when I vote in the primary.

*more later.
