The campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have tried to get the endorsement of former Vice President Al Gore, but the Nobel Peace Prize winner is refusing to indicate a preference.

In fact, in the past week, Gore and Democratic party leaders have held private talks because some Democrats fear a bitterly divided convention could end up hurting the party in the general election, The New York Times reported Saturday.

Gore, the newspaper said, wants to remain neutral so that he can be an “honest broker” to help select the party’s nominee, if necessary.

Among those speaking to Gore recently were Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Senator John Edwards, and Senators Chris Dodd and Joe Biden. Edwards, Dodd and Biden have dropped out of the presidential race.

None has yet endorsed Clinton or Obama
