Gore Endorses Obama

Posted Jun 16, 08 4:43 PM CDT in Politics 

(Newser) – Al Gore will endorse Barack Obama for president tonight at a rally in Detroit, ABC News reports. "From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States," Gore said of Obama in an email to supporters. Obama has talked openly of inviting Gore to serve in an administration.

"I can guarantee you that Al Gore will be invited to take part in my administration. And I don't know what he'll want to do and what he'll be willing to accept," Obama said. "He and I already talk, you know, periodically. And he evaluated our environmental plan. I took many ideas from him."

    To Win Debates, Go for Snap Over Substance Better theater, not better substance, wins modern presidential debates, writes Michael Tomasky in the Guardian. Pundits will ordain a winner during the spin war that follows each clash—this year's first encounter is Friday—and “the candidate who wins the battle of the clips will be the 72-hour winner.” So the hopefuls must master one-liners, not policy nuance.

    Mac Fathered BlackBerry, Staffer Claims Barack Obama’s campaign was quick to mock a staffer’s claim today that John McCain helped create the BlackBerry, the Hill reports. An aide suggested that the Republican’s service on the Senate Commerce Committee, which concerns itself with telecommunications, qualified him as a father of the ubiquitous device—recalling Al Gore’s 2000 paternity claim on the internet, as Dems were quick to note.
