Report: Al Gore To Campaign For Obama In Florida


By Greg Sargent - October 30, 2008, 9:27AM


Chuck Todd and the gang at MSNBC's First Read have a nice little scooplet (no link yet):

Tomorrow, according to sources, Al and Tipper Gore will be stumping for Obama in West Palm and Ft. Lauderdale. It's the first time he's campaigned in Florida for president since 2000. While he's campaigned in the Sunshine State since 2000, he's not done so for a presidential candidate since he himself was running.

The image of Gore in Florida, for obvious reasons, will be a powerful one for rank-and-file Dems. Also note the extraordinary amount of attention that the Obama camp is lavishing on the state in the home stretch.

Bill Clinton was there yesterday with Obama, who holds a rally there this morning, and now Gore tomorrow. You have to imagine that all the Dem activity in this state, which was supposed to be an easy win for McCain, is rattling the McCain team like nothing else.

Late Update: Gore spokesperson Kalee Kreider emails to confirm that the events are indeed set to go.

1. President Gore to endorse future President Obama.

Al Gore is a great man. Had he decided to run, he would have been my first choice. He has more Federal experience than any candidate in the 20th century. It is gratifying to see him in the public eye and to be the face of conservation.

2. Hey ...

Deep13 ... where did you get that cool Obama flag avatar? B-)

[Deep13]

3. Ha-ha-ha!

I never noticed that.

By coincidence, it happens to be the flag of Ohio.

5. Oh ... you didn't know?

Bob Grant, conservative talk-show host, uh ... well, check out this link:

6. Jesus Christ, what a fucking moron.

Wow. That kind of stupidity must be painful.

I bet the pennant shape fooled him. Not that it takes much to do that.

4. Great news.

Looking forward to turning my flags rightside up Jan. 20, and replacing my icon of the last elected president with the newly-elected one.
