Gore to Appear With Obama tonight - to endorse

FLINT, Mich. – Former Vice President Al Gore will appear in Detroit tonight for his debut campaign appearance with Senator Barack Obama, extending an endorsement and urging all Democrats to rally behind the party’s fall ticket.

“A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama,” Mr. Gore said in an e-mail sent to his supporters. “From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.”

We should see a really big bump with this!

:shrug:

Let's get that lead to double digits.

makes me think the internals must be showing the state as a concern

I mean, I'm glad he's appearing with Obama and all, but it's kind of dopey to call it an "endorsement."

I don't for a second believe that our candidate or Al will do anything behind our backs as that suggested.

I'm not saying it isn't true but I'd like to see it for myself.

He's not exactly a "supporter" of liquefied coal. Read all about it.

for Gore?

Please.

is campaigning for McSame. What's wrong with this picture?

I knew it was coming anyway though.

What, could anyone be grousing about? There is almost no value for Al Gore to be endorsing during the primaries and plenty of danger...it makes much more sense to give the bump as the GE campaign gets going. I kinda hate the endorsement game, but it is what it is.

Dear spanone,


A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama. From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.

Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges -- including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.

I've never asked members of AlGore.com to contribute to a political campaign before, but this moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.

That's why I am asking you to join me today in showing your support for Barack Obama by making a contribution to his campaign today:

Over the past 18 months, Barack Obama has united a movement. He knows change does not come from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or Capitol Hill. It begins when people stand up and take action.

With the help of millions of supporters like you, Barack Obama will bring the change we so desperately need in order to solve our country's most pressing problems.

If you've already contributed to Barack Obama's campaign, I ask that you consider making another contribution. If you haven't, please join the movement right now:

On the issues that matter most, Barack Obama is clearly the right choice to lead our nation.

We have a lot of work to do in the next few months to elect Barack Obama president and it begins by making a contribution to his campaign today.

Thank you,

Al Gore
