Excerpt:

Iowan and Olympic Gold Medalist Shawn Johnson started the day off by leading the pledge of allegiance.

Bill Richardson outlined how McCain has consistently changed his position on numerous issues and then nailed McCain on wearing $520 pair of Italian loafers, saying…

John McCain may pay hundreds of dollars for his shoes, but we’re the ones who will pay for his flip-flops.

Al Gore spoke last night and had this great line…

Today, we face essentially the same choice we faced in 2000, though it may be even more obvious now - because John McCain, a man who has earned our respect on many levels, is now openly endorsing the policies of the Bush-Cheney White House and promising to actually continue them, the same policies all over again?

Hey, I believe in recycling, but that’s ridiculous.

Then a group of everyday people who were Republicans, but are now supporting Obama spoke. One of these people was Barney Smith from Marion, Indiana who summed up the difference between Obama and McCain…

We need a president who puts the Barney Smiths before the Smith Barneys.

I will write more later about Obama’s speech, but this article by David Sirota sums up Obama’s speech, saying that Obama has made an economic populism the key theme to this election.

Excerpt:

The Draft Gore group is running this TV ad on CNN and in New Hampshire. The ad is called Imagine and uses clips from previous Gore speeches.

“Al Gore still has time to jump into this race,” said Draft Gore chair Monica Friedlander. “He maintains a massive base of support, as evidenced by recent polls and the unprecedented strength of this truly grassroots movement that’s sweeping the country unlike anything we have seen in recent political history.”

A CBS News poll released last week shows the undeclared Gore running a strong second at 32 percent among Democratic voters nationwide, only five points behind presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton. Moreover, Gore polls much better than Clinton against Republican frontrunner Rudy Giuliani, 52 percent to 46 percent, compared to Clinton’s 49 to 47 percent, according to a poll released by CNN on Oct. 21.

The Two Cents campaign from America for Gore

America for Gore is dedicated to making Al Gore the Democratic candidate for President in 2008. At present, we are working to get Gore’s name onto as many ballots as possible, and to continue to show as much support as possible for the idea of his candidacy. It is now time for people to act to demonstrate that support, so that Gore understands how much America wants him as president.

To convince Gore to step into the race, we are asking all Gore supporters to mail him two pennies, together with a note indicating real support will be provided if he accepts the challenge and runs for president. The constant arrival of pennies will be a reminder to Mr. Gore that America needs and wants him to run.

The pennies should be sent, preferably in an envelope made of recycled paper, to Office of the Honorable Al Gore, 2100 West End Avenue, Suite 620, Nashville, TN 37203.

America for Gore will continue to assist all groups and individuals working to make the Gore 2008 candidacy a success though our website AmericaForFore.org. Our goal is to help coordinate all the efforts to elect Al Gore with an initial goal of getting him into the race and a further goal of seeing him take office as president in 2009.
