Is he bringing his Oscar with him?
Pretty smart tactic
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the..._obama_in.htmlAl Gore, who lost his 2000 race for the White House when he fell 537 votes short in Florida, will headline a pair of rallies for Barack Obama on Friday in the land of the butterfly ballot and the hanging chad.
Gore will campaign in vote-rich Broward and Palm Beach counties, the site of some of the most extraordinary scenes of the post-election battle for Florida and the presidency -- a battle ended by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision with 1.6 million votes never recounted.
"Nobody knows better that every single vote counties -- especially in Florida -- than Vice President Al Gore," Obama state director Steve Schale said in a written statement. Gore will be urging people to vote early "so no amount of chads, butterflies or undervotes can stand between Floridians and the change we need."
Gore is part of a stronger than expected Obama push in Florida. The Illinois Democrat has held three rallies in less than 24 hours, with 35,000 people showing up on an unseasonably cold night in Kissimmee on Wednesday to see him campaign with former president Bill Clinton.
Is he bringing his Oscar with him?
Actually it is my understanding that he does not have the Oscar- it goes to the producer.
But he could bring along his Nobel Prize.
Why? No one likes that enviro wacko. Why not bring in John Kerry, too?
Or Lieberman
While I understand your point, the man did win the popular vote.
The people that voted for him in Florida probably like him. Last time I checked that was a lot of people.
McCain's first pick for VP?
Sarcasm, much?
Genius! Takes Gorebage to bring out the trash!
Is Gore popular in Florida? I know he barely lost the state in 2000, under controversial cir stances . . . but come on, it's Al Gore. Mr. Lockbox.
Is a gonna use a kickass powerpoint presentation?
That's not a very well written statement."Nobody knows better that every single vote counties -- especially in Florida -- than Vice President Al Gore," Obama state director Steve Schale said in a written statement.
His strength is speaking
Tipper and I will seal the deal for Barack!!
People made fun of the lockbox thing but he was actually right.
It is very close and I'm praying that Obama takes FL.
Does God have a vote? Does it count as more than one vote?
And would God support votes for someone who might be the Anti-Christ?Does God have a vote? Does it count as more than one vote?
Allah will vote for Hussein.Does God have a vote? Does it count as more than one vote?
Of course, It's all part of the bigger plan.
It's smart because Gore is a symbol to a lot of Floridians on both sides of the left and right of how their votes were marginalized and manipulated by the Republican party in 2000. I know a lot of people in Florida who have lost faith in the electoral process. I had feared that would generate apathy, but it actually had the opposite effect this year. More people have gone in early to make sure they haven't been purged from the rolls. They're going to polling places ahead of time and calling local offices to make sure they understand the ballots and the process. There's a big one burned, twice shy element about it all.
Gore reminds the people who care why they can't allow themselves to be lax. It's not subtle, but it is smart.
