Gore to Campaign in Florida for Obama
By MICHAEL FALCONE

Returning to the state that became ground zero for the Election Day troubles that ended up costing him the presidency, former Vice President Al Gore plans to campaign in Florida on Friday for Senator Barack Obama.

And Mr. Gore, who will be joined by his wife, Tipper, is heading to Palm Beach and Broward counties, which played leading roles in the drama of the 2000 election. He will hold rallies in West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale.

“Nobody knows better that every single vote counts – especially in Florida – than Vice President Al Gore, who will be encouraging Florida voters to early vote in record numbers so no amount of chads, butterflies or undervotes can stand between Floridians and the change we need,” the Obama campaign’s Florida state director, Steve Schale, said in a statement.

The former vice president, who since his failed presidential bid eight years ago has added a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award to his resume, endorsed Senator Obama in June.

Mr. Obama has also been focusing on the Sunshine State, holding several rallies there this week, including his first joint appearance of the campaign season with former President Bill Clinton at an event in Kissimmee Wednesday night.

3. This is excellent! Only Gore can speak to the voting debacle in Florida..

.. and the crucial GOTV there. He knows that if a fraction of Democrats had chosen to vote that day, he would have a big enough margin to overcome the theft.
