Former President Endorses Gore ATLANTA (AP) -- Former President Carter endorsed Al Gore for president on Wednesday, saying it would be ''a serious and far-reaching mistake'' for fellow Democrats to turn away as some did from Hubert Humphrey in his 1968 loss to Richard Nixon. ''I have had the pleasure of knowing Al Gore for more than 20 years,'' Carter said. ''He is a man of strong convictions and a strong sense of right and wrong. As a young man, he volunteered for service in Vietnam, something many of his peers chose to avoid.'' Carter compared this election to 1968, when Nixon narrowly defeated Humphrey in the midst of heated argument about the Vietnam War. ''As this campaign draws to a close, I cannot help but recall with concern the election of 1968,'' Carter said. ''Hubert Humphrey, another good man, lost narrowly because many Democrats and others who shared his basic views and philosophy of a lifetime let specific differences blind them to the larger good and turned away. ''A good man lost, and I am firmly convinced that those who care deeply about our environment, the less fortunate, and women's rights would make a serious and far reaching mistake by turning away from Al Gore.''
