(CNN) – He's increasingly mentioned as a potential Democratic powerbroker, but former Vice President Al Gore said Thursday he still expects his party's heated White House race will resolve itself.

"What have we got, five months left?" Gore told the Associated Press after delivering a speech at Middle Tennessee State University.

"I think it's going to resolve itself, but we'll see," he added.

The former vice president did not say whether he expected the race will be resolved before the party's convention in late August. His comments come as Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said in several interviews that he hopes the party's approximately 350 undecided superedelegates make their decision by July 1 — less than a month after the final primary contests in Montana and South Dakota.

As the Democratic race drags on, Gore's name has been invoked a neutral Democratic party elder who could forge a compromise between the two candidates, or even appear on the top of the presidential ticket himself.

1. Lame.

2. If he would have come out and ran initially, he would have been my candidate

not now. The respective candidate's supporters have expended too much of their time and energy for their candidate, and for someone who didn't do sqwat, it doesn't seem fair

In fact, it isn't

Gore had an opportunity to run this year, and probably win, but he choose not to

However, I do believe he can be an arbitrator if it comes down to that, but not a candidate
